I remember 4 years ago being a sophomore in college, seething from the acrimony and hatred I had for the Republicans for stealing the election. I remember the anger and sadness after 9/11. I remember a year later sharing the universal heartbreak that devasted so many of us when Paul Wellstone (god we need you now more than ever) died, and I remember the disapointment I felt last year when my former California constituents recalled Gray Davis, and voted in, its still hard for me to say it, Governor "Jingle All The Way".
And now, after so much sweat, tears, heartbreak, and tragedy, I'm ready to take a hiatus from politics. I know I'll eventually come back, but its taken such a heavy toll on all of us these last four years I don't know what to think. I'll be a liberal democrat until the day I die, but right now I just need to get away from it all for awhile. THANKS TO EVERYONE AT DU!!! I love you guys, stand up to those freepers, make it a bitter victory for them. Make sure they know from here on, the future of the country is soley on their watch, and if it gets fucked, we'll know where to find them.
And with that, goodluck to those of you staying to rebuild this great wonderful movement we've created these last four years, don't give in to the right of Center, the people who joined us loved us for being the solid liberals we are. I'll be back to pitch in, hopefully not after too long. Take care.
