Lesson #1:

[fshrink]

NONE of the current progressive so-called leaders who kept silent on this appaling scandal during these repugnant 6 or 7 weeks will EVER have my vote. As far as I'm concerned they completely disqualified themselves, all of them, and I will not change my mind in 4 years from now, when ANY of these pretty faces will surely come out to tell me that they can save the day, that they are strong, reliable and that I can count on them to stand firm for the progressive ideas.

2. Lesson #2

All of those republicans on the judiciary committee who won't join Conyer in investigating the election in Ohio need to go, too.

4. I'll never vote for a reactionary, no matter what.

3. And I'm beginning to think that lesson #2

... is to get out of this stupid country!

When I was a kid my grandfather told me that one day this country would be taken over from within, with out a single shot being fired.

He was right, and it has now happened. Democracy is gone, and the country is now controlled by the neo-cons. They have the house, the senate and the supreme court. They are laughing at us when we even mention voter suppression and fraud. Our days are numbered.

Oh Canada, glorious and free...

5. Lesson #2

I'm beginning to think you are right, KerryOn. With the country controlled by the neo-cons, we are in deep shit.

Canada is too freakin' cold. I'm headed for Mexico.

6. Lesson #3: "Instant karma's gonna get you." . . . John Lennon . . .

okay, so it may not be instant . . . but this is all going to come back and bite BushCo right in the ass . . . don't know when, don't know how . . . only know for sure that it will . . . such are the laws of karma . . .

9. Oh yeah.

I have no doubt that the pendulum will swing. It always does.

My only question is, can we smooth the skids? Because the longer it takes for balance to be restored in the universe, the more collateral damage there is. And given that we're all living in the country that's most deeply involved...

7. Suggestions: Go Green, check out PDA, True Majority, Black Coalition,

USVIP.org, RedHandsMovement.com , etc. for progressives that have stood up for us and fought for us in this slo mo coup.

constructive.
