122. And There Lies The GREATEST Rub "laughingliberal" Because Either
way we seem to be supporting a GROUP that many of us have been disillusioned with! To NOT vote "gives" THEM the big :fistbump: and to vote means WE'RE getting a BIG :headbang: from Democrats, thereby promulgating MORE cynicism!

Didn't think I would ever have to feel this way at this point in time! There seem to be some here who still think Democrats will pick up more seats in the House & Senate! Personally that seems like a "reality" gone awry! I've never seen the likes of what's happening anymore, and I WAS around during the PROTESTS of Viet Nam! The difference from then and now is that it DOES seem that "we the people" had SOME voice and our voices were being heard! Today, the rule of thumb seems to be "just ignore" the little guy and the people be damned, just get that green in the palm and get re-elected!

I really don't have a clue as to how the upcoming elections will end up, but I will say that I'm in GREAT fear about any results!

How I wish my feelings about WHAT will happen would make me happier, but having seen what has gone down since '08 I think I may become even more depressed!!!

Living down here in Florida and just "thinking" about Marco Rubio scares me to death! And even worse, I've heard rumblings that Grayson might have to look for another job! I didn't think it could get worse than JEBBY, but then as my father used to say to me... "that's what you get for thinking!"

Putting EDUCATION here in the hands of MORE Repukes is ringing a loud bell of disaster to me!! I really wish how I'm feeling would go away! I want the GRAY clouds in the Sunshine State to GO AWAY! From this state to D.C., I keep wondering WHEN it MIGHT get better. Yep, I'm just CLUELESS!!
:shrug: :fear:
