Stepping out for a while

Based on my comments the last 24 hours, it appears that they have hurt more than have helped the cause.

I was commmenting out of frustration to the vitrol directed at Kerry in the blogs and a conversation I had with my dad this morning.

He was basically saying that Harold Ford Jr. knows how to choose his words carefully, and that he and Obama are the new leadership of the Democratic party cause they, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton know how to just say it without a media backlash, something that Kerry and Dean haven't mastered. He told me they say the right things, they just come out off a bit. And the democrats will never be sucessful until they include AA in the campaign.

He also said that the Clintons (Bill is here with Ford) are taking over again cause they were winning and showed how it was done cause they had talented black people in their campaingn, and like any other Democrat is just useless (no one wants to listen to my side:()

If you're wondering, am I making this up, I am not. I am typing as I am talking in another room.

It's never easy being from a red state and this is why I vent. I like Kerry, I am not Anti-Kerry. I have defended him (and Ford) out in GD with hardcore facts just like I was taught here.

I will still vote next Tuesday (yes Democratic) because I would like to see a Democratic controlled Congrees, something that hasn't happened since my freshman year in college.

If my comments offended anyone, I am sorry. I support Kerry 100% (even if my family doesn't).


I'll be back when the dust settles.


Peace!
