Just finished watching a documentary on HBO on Air America and the problems they faced trying to get off the ground last spring. I'm fucking ready for 06 baby. Just watching those guys talkin the talk leading up to Election Day 04 and remembering what it was like to be neck deep in all that has got my motor runnin. Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, there's god's work to be done in 19 Governor's races and 17 Senate races folks. Lets all pick one, roll up our sleeves and strive to take back our country once more.
Confession: There was a time when I would have said having the Democrats in control of Congress and the Executive would still be a far cry from taking our country back. And I still do believe that. Dems are still largely out of touch with the real everyday problems affecting millions and too many are bought by the highest or most politically helpful bidder. Barack voted for the war and for Condi and Dr. Torture. Ditto Hillary and Edwards. I'm under no illusions, BUT...
These motherfuckers have got to go. It was different when Bill was Prez. We were still losing battles but often it was the "yes you made it better but not good enough" type of losses (there are notable exclusions here, i.e. race and trade) The problems were more traditional and stable and as a result we could get creative with the tactics we used in our solutions. But these sick fucks are in constant 2 minute drill mode and we have no response mechanism.
The Left Wing faction of the Dems is the spine of the party. We left, they got killed, they need us back. If only to help them stand up properly. Cause that's what a spine is used for. And we can remind them of what happens when we leave - but only after we win.
