145. Personally, I think we are eating our own....
This AM on C-Span there was a question regarding Democrats as to whether we are digging a bigger hole!!

I was very upset by some of the Dems and their answers to the question... a lot of them saying that we need to "change" and get with the mainstream.

For me, that IS NOT where I want to go. I'm appalled to think that the Super Bowl is being used to PUSH a Religious Agenda. There is a group who will be there standing up for the Religious Right. If this is MAINSTREAM, I'm sorry... just opt me out!!! Whether I'm Christian or not does not mean I should be "infiltrating" every sector of American life!

I don't care if Teresa changed her name back and I don't think it matters very much over all. I don't think Kerry will ever be nominated again, even though I personally care a lot about him. He should just save his money. From all the negative chatter here, I doubt he'll even get re-elected as SENATOR!

But for us to beat this to death seems to show how split we are. I don't see where this discussion is helpful. To some degree, and I've said this before... a lot of POLITICS is simply CYCLICAL!! It's just that the media is so mealy mouthed and many of our Democratic Leaders seem to have rolled over and are playing dead! My own Senator Bill Nelson is one of them. I won't ever vote for him again. Florida has gone to the dogs anyway!

The bubble will burst, but it will only do so if we keep focused on what really matters. When those "red-staters" can't pay their bills or put food on the table, they may not UNDERSTAND what happened or may be in denial, but facts are facts... and some will see the LIGHT!

And even though I like Howard Dean and support him to head the DNC... just watch what the MEDIA does to him!!
