Reply #37: I don't think Clinton's BJ caused the 2000 loss [View All]

After all, Gore won that election. That's been proven a number of times. However, we didn't fight back during the theft, and there is nothing we can do about it. Also, Kerry won in 2004, as was proven this past week. Yet Bush was declared the winner and we didn't fight back, and there is nothing we can do about it. Voting rights are being stripped from hundreds of thousands of young, old, poor, and minority people across the country. We don't fight back in any meaningful way, and the US Department Of Justice pretends it's not even happening, and there is nothing we can do about it. Do you wonder why that is?

Any good doctor, loved one, or close friend will tell you that when the battle against cancer can no longer be won, it is time to seek comfort and make the best of what is left of your life. For me, I have a meagerly-paid but steady and enjoyable job, a long time woman, a mortgage that we can afford on a house that we like, some money in the bank, and two grown children who make us proud. We've exerted a great deal of time and money during our lives trying to wrestle the country from the cancer that is the Republican party. Now we're old, the cancer is terminal, and the country of Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, McGovern, and O'Neill that we grew up and grew old in is on its death bed, killed by Big Media and Hate Radio. Some will take their comfort by making their world small and dialing out the blare of the fascist media cabal. Others will sign petitions and participate in camp-outs and such. Others will stick with the Dem party as it becomes the 1980's Republican Party (some will sort of like this - they don't like unions, public schools, and Social Security that much themselves; others will be holding their noses, secure in the knowledge that they're keeping worse from becoming worst). Others will vote for local liberal candidates, trying to make their own little corner of GlenBeckistan more livable. Other will spend their days listening to Hate Radio and watching Cable "News" and bitching about it (I don't understand this one, I'm afraid). And still others will hang on, believing that the Repukes are getting weaker, despite all of the evidence to the contrary.

Anyway, the era of American the Beacon Of Hope & Democracy is dead - dying of the cancer that I already described. However people seek their comfort in the last days is OK by me.
