Anyone else riding an Election Year Emotional Rollercoaster?
Talk about high ups and low downs!

Earlier this week all I saw was doom on the horizon. It seemed like our country was doomed to failure.

Funny how 48 hours and a booming GOP Child Sex Scandal, that involves GOP party leadership, can brighten up the mood. :D

Now I can't wait for election day to come because I have finally realized one thing:

We have a real fucking chance of TAKING BACK OUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!

Have a good weekend DUers. Things are about to get better.

1. Every once and a while I break out in hope. I was really snarky
this morning when it seemed the media was sugarcoating the Foley thing, but things heated up through the day.

I just don't think they can steal enough votes to win without getting caught. Even if they get gas down to 95 cents a gallon.

5. Save your energy, you'll need it for the civil war or upcoming revolution.

7. Of all the scandals that should have brought the GOP down, it takes
a child sex scandal to wake up the masses. Just depressing. Well, I'll take it, I guess. :-(
