I don't think I have been this sad since Nov. 3 2004. I called Pelosi's office and left my little speech on their comment voice mail. I just don't know what to think anymore. I love being a Democrat, i love my party, but right now I feel like my party has left me. I gave what little money i could and any support i could give. I feel like i am having a pity party for myself right now, but after talking to my mom over this stuff, i understand their decision perhaps. Bush is a madman. Remember the policy of our country, "we don't negotiate with terrorists"-we just did and like those outcomes, nothing was gained. The one thing i did hear which might be true, must read a little more, is that this ensures that Bush will sign the minimum wage bill. It is important, but i do not believe as important as this. It needs to be raised but if it was done years ago, maybe it would have been 10 or 15 dollars now. They knew he would never give in though, he is a madman and we could send a bill over and over out of principle but never get anything done. This decision is the most disappointing one i have ever seen in my lifetime (all 24 yrs of it-thats not alot to go on..sorry :) ) but by God i hope something good comes out of it. I never thought i would be shaken to my core like this, but I hoped for better and it did not come.
I am a man of faith and always live by when God closes a door, he opens a window. Well God, please open a big ass window.
