I didn't vote for war, repeal of a woman's right to choose, or ignoring gay rights
I didn't vote to bail out Wall Street, I didn't vote to allow continued snooping into my email and phone conversations. I didn't vote to keep the people who torture protected, and I certainly didn't vote to let Bush and Cheney get away with war crimes. I didn't vote so that the health care industry wins, and I didn't vote so that Unions are crushed by continuing the secret vote.

I voted for hope, and hope is fading, fast.

3. I agree, this is not the change I voted for either... It has been one disappointment ....

after another. Thinking, well things are going to turn around soon and I know he will get to doing the rights things... But it's not happening as I see it.

5. I voted to send Palin back to Wisilla or whereever
I and bet I will do so again in 2012..

The hope I voted for was that the Dems would be a little better then the GOP.

Mission Accomplished

All the rage on DU lately accomplishes so very little. It is very easy to loose site of what is at stake when terribly upset. I will always vote to send the Republicans packing and never regret it.

Either I'm confused by your post or you're confused by politics.

9. Got any other trivial items to add to your woo-woo wish list? How about a pony?
Now here's a cute picture of Bo.



That's all that most people need. Why are you so fussy?

20. I think most of us knew we were being lied to during the campaign
I just didn't think it would be this blatant.
