I must have been dreaming.....

[LiberalEsto]

I was looking at one of my old Journal entries here on DU. A bit more than a year ago I was savoring Ned Lamont's win over Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut primary. I had such high hopes for a Democrat-controlled Congress. Had I but known then what I know now.

Lamont has vanished from the public eye.
Lieberman has become appallingly swell-headed with his own ego and power, and is trying to push for war with Iran.

And, oh yes, that Democrat-controlled Congress hasn't exactly delivered on my hopes and dreams, either.

Read my old Journal entry, and weep with me. What was I thinking? I must have been dreaming.....


"If Lamont's primary win in Connecticut translates into a Democratic takeover of Congress in November, this is what it could mean to the B*sh Misadministration and its cronies:

Investigations

Subpoenas

Special prosecutors

Articles of impeachment

Possible impeachment

The Hague -- international war crimes trials?

Prison?

Possible treason charges against some individuals?

Lawsuits against Halliburton/KBR and other favored military contractors for massive fraud and cost overruns

Windfall profits taxes for Big Oil

Restored environmental, worker and consumer protections

Restoration of the estate tax

New laws against domestic spying

An end to the military misadventures in the Middle East.

And those are just what came off the top of my head. There will be many more potential consequences to these people who played fast and loose with our trust, our security, our economy, our savings, our freedoms, our Constitution, our tax dollars and much more."

Reality sucks.

1. You weren't the only one dreaming

And yes, reality hits with the force of several brick walls. So do people who insist that everything is fine.
