I will not be happy until Nov 7, and then it will be a short lived proposition, because A new round of political fighting will begin and anxiety will return.

I believe in everyone pitching in their tax dollars so the government takes care of everyone. It seems that's the way it should work when the government is by and for the people. The least among us should be guaranteed health, a place to live,food and a high quality education.

"From whom much is given, much is expected"--another part of the Bible that the "Christians" on the right conveniently forget.

There are only two choices in this country, Democratic Party or Foaming at the mouth bat-shit-crazy Party. So I'm quite happy being a Democrat.

As is looking down the nose at southerners and blue-collar Americans (I am talking about fellow Dems, not necessarily the party). Many in these demographics are also people of faith, who are "privileged" enough to be "set straight" about their "fairy tale beliefs" by the "enlightened" Democratic atheist or agnostic. That culture gets really old, really quickly.

The Ivory Tower and Limousine Liberal is real.

I have only to look around at all of the fundies that surround me on a daily basis (in Texas!) to realize how very fortunate that I am NOT like them.

The fellow Texas Dems that I know are all intelligent, refined, caring and compassionate people. I am proud to be counted amongst them instead of the evangelical weirdos who use whatever is at their disposal to promote hate of any person who is not exactly like them.
