for the most part. And while I approach every trial and tribulation suffered by the white house, the illegal regime and the reich-winged MSM with absolute glee, I can't help but remember the cockiness myself and many others (don't deny it, folks!) showed before the 2004 election believing that all well and good would result in a triumphant Democratic win. For me, personally, I have begun to hesitate in expressing such unbound jubilation because there is too much graft, collusion and corruption out there to make anything a sure thing. In RL, bad people DO win more often than good people, and those of us who want to set things right often lose, despite our best efforts.

We shouldn't be perpetually depressed about it, but expressing happiness mixed with some healthy skepticism is a far more psychologically appealing method, instead of pinning all hopes on transient victories which even cumulatively can't take away all the rottenness, horrific events, and terrible things which have been perpetrated by these evil doers.

We will continue to be challenged unless we can definitively win the majority in both the Senate and the House and begin impeachment hearings on both Bush and Cheney--until then, however, these strides toward making justice the rule instead of the exception aren't helping much at all. The Democrats cry foul, the MSM ignores the transgressions, and the repukes grin and bear it. The spectre of Bill Clinton has finally vanished for many, and it is clear that idiot Bush is the man responsible for many of the failed policies of the past 5 years. They can't blame it all on a man who left the white house over 5 years ago at least, as now it's quite obvious that the repukes have held control long enough to cause irreparable damage to our country's good name.

No, no naysaying, just cautious--VERY cautious--about what we hope will come, but must understand that there are no guarantees when it comes to politics, especially the dirty kind.
