It's getting just too damn depressing
it's starting to come crashing down. I am close to not giving a fuck about this "Hope for Change" because it may be too late for hope. Fucking Rick Warren, Booshe and his bullshit stretching out the loans to GM and Chrysler till they collapse, the treasury robbed, the rich made richer than we can imagine, the wars, the stripping of the Senate to fill administration positions and the 'appointments' instead of elections to replace them, the Kennedy's, Jeb Bush, Clinton "donations", Blaggo and that bag of horseshit, and that clown car for a vagina. I have just about had enough. I am tired of reading shit whenever I click on DU. Our victory appears to be short lived, and the dam has been breached.

1. Try being poor. IT's ALWAYS depressing. And Isolating.
Welcome to the reality of it.

7. I AM poor, been there for over a year. That's what happens
when you have a life-threatening disease and your health insurance only covers 80%. And your medicine co-payments take a week of your salary every month.

15. Then you know that the loss of hope isn't anything new.... it didn't start with Obama being a
disappointment.

The left has abandoned us too, for the most part, and if we don't stick together and work to bring justice, we will continue to deal with the prejudice on top of the pain of our lives.

8. Been there, done that, and it SUCKS.
I think the atmosphere right now is very bleak, and people are scared. Add to that being greatly disappointed, and you have some bad juju flying around the ether, which everyone is feeding off of and adding to exponentially.

16. Yes, it's bleak, and yes, we poor folk are scared.
Yet, we're expected to be "hopeful".

Balderdash.

2. What was that clown car with a vagina?
I didn't get that reference.

I pretty much agree about the rest.

10. That viral family -- JimmyJoeBillyBob Duggar or whatever his name is -- and his wife just had their
18th child, believe it or don't. Someone's made a poster of the family (when they had only 14 children, not 18) saying "A vagina is not a clown car."

4. I know
If all this shit were hitting the fan 3 months from now, we'd have some semblance of a competent bunch in charge, at the very least. Right now the worst of all possible situations for manufacturing is becoming reality and *nobody is in charge*. It's the worst possible timing. There may not be anything left for Obama to save, and he may not even have the right people around to help him save it.

5. Oh god, I hear you.
I was so ecstatic, but maybe it wasn't for real. I'm just so damn tired. Why oh why do Democrats bend over every goddamned time to the most reprehensive assholes on the planet? Everytime I see that smug fat, self-righteous motherfucking gay-hating, fetus worshipping Mullah, I want to scream and throw something.

6. I am holding out hope that President-Elect Obama...
...will ultimately do the right thing about Warren, and about everything else.

We are facing some serious hurt coming down the pike.:(

Have faith.:thumbsup:
