It Feels Like 11/2 Again.

[Dave Sund]

I've got that sick feeling that came when Ohio was called for Bush and we all knew it was over. I'm growing increasingly upset with Democrats who don't seem to care that they are screwing this country in the name of so called bipartisanship. I'm a Nebraska Democrat, so I understand why people like Nelson have to compromise sometimes -- they're in a difficult position. But at the same time -- if you're not going to stand with us on this, when will you stand with us?

I've had it with them. Nelson has my vote in 2006, because he's still a hell of a lot better than Pete Ricketts, the corporate pig who tries to play himself off as a simple Nebraskan with "values." But that's as far as my support goes. I'm certainly not going to feel too good if Nelson wins and the Democrats don't make gains -- but I'd feel a hell of a lot worse if he lost and they didn't.

1. And to complete the sense of deja vu

Malloy's show will probably start with The End by The Doors :cry:

2. That is what he is counting on----you will CONTINUE to vote for him.

I know he is better than the alternative, but that is why they keep voting the way they do. They know we will HAVE to keep on voting for the lesser of the evils.
THIS HAS GOT TO CHANGE. I have been with Dean all along, as he has tried his best to get the DNC to listen to the people--make the Democratic Party a party of,by, and for the people. He has been virtually a one man army, and all the rich and powerful DLC'ers have put up roadblocks at his every turn. If we can't get those DLC'ers to see by now, with all the scandals and W's low approvals--I don't think it will ever happen.

I am withholding money and my time from them, and told them so. I think that working for opposition Dem/Progressive candidates(when we can find them) is also an option. I am thinking of withholding my vote THIS time, as it will probably not be counted anyway.

Unfortunately, dark days-- dark ages-- are upon us.

3. I hate to sound so negative but, my hopes were never up

And they have not really been up since 1/01. You guys are so hopeful and optimistic, and I love that, but I know it makes defeats like this very painful. The truth is, our Dems gave up on us in 2000 and things haven't been the same since.
