The pain, frustration, and suffering of living through 8 years of * & co.

[kid a]

I have not suffered the brunt of the effects personally, but I have a neighbor whose son died in Iraq, a close friend whose brother lost the use of his right hand and is blind in his left eye, my brother in law is in his 3rd tour in Iraq flying helicopters (my wife stresses daily about that) and my mother owes $39,000 to the hospital for a one time visit to the ER for a fall (MRI, surgery, Rx, etc.)

All in all, throughout this misery, I have protested several times in NY and LA, spent hundreds of hours pounding pavement for local candidates, Gore and Kerry. Rarely, very rarely do I ever hear anyone even joke about wishing harm to the likes of Rove, Cheney, & *. However, the talk I hear among RW distant relatives living in TX and OK, scares me. It seems that the election Of Barack Obama will drive them absolutely nutzo!

How will the RW fanatics deal with it? I have visions of the FLA ballot recount thugs chanting. It will be ugly.

No time or place for gloating this year if and when Obama wins this thing.
