Lordy I need a glass of WINE....
And a ticket to Canada.

Can anyone cheer me up?

I've been fighting for DEMS for years- but they never fight for me.

Somtimes I feel like I should just read fiction, watch TV and enjoy myself- and TUNE OUT.

Who says fiddling while Rome burns is such a bad thing?

6. Toss one back, and know you're on the right side
Nobody said it'd be easy, right?

7. Stop looking for someone to lead you
Get out there and do it yourself, for yourself.

You will feel much better.

Run for local office. Once there, make some lives miserable.

Invite the Press. Make their lives miserable, too.

You'll be a folk hero.

--p!

13. I've been in local, state & national politics for a while.
Edited on Sun Nov-28-04 10:27 PM by Dr Fate
I've been "doing it myself" and "working w/i the system" and "taking it to the streets" for some time- but the high-ups wont listen to us-they fight us and distance themselves from us- even after all the hard work we do...and all the times weve been RIGHT about things...

Oh well- this IS the Lounge- BOTTOMS UP!!!

11. yeah, but you have a conscience
and that's why you keep coming back. Be happy for that. And most of the people here fought for you while you were fighting for us.

BTW,I'm almost in Canada and it's cold and snow-slushy here. Why not go somewhere warm?

That glass of wine sounds good and I think I'll pour myself a glass of "Red Truck" a delightful red table wine. Ever since the election I've been becoming an expert in $10 wines. I'm going to turn off the computer and finish reading "Homegrown Democrat."

While smug about being a liberal, he reminds me it's always going to be a fight -- because we're for the underdogs and as long as there is life, there will be underdogs.

Have a good evening.
:)

12. I've decided to join you
and just poured a glass of Chardonnay. I am trying to remain optimistic that the incredible hubris of the current administration will bring them down, and drinking wine makes this more believable. In fact, the more I drink it, the more optimistic I become. Whoops, guess I shouldn't have chugged that first glass. Be right back.
