I sort of rolled up and stayed out of sight after last year's disappointing election results. My greatest disappointment came from knowing that when such a huge number of my fellow countrymen look at George W. Bush, they see something different than I do. To me it's so obvious what a deceitful, self-promoting, spoiled little-rich kid that GWB is that I guess I can't understand why everyone doesn't see him as I do.
However, they don't and it's time for me to get over it. Events have almost overtaken my disappointment in any case. The Bush Administration appears to be in a state of rapid disintegration even as we speak. And if I might indulge myself for a moment, it couldn't happen to a nicer group of assholes.
Anyway, none of it portends a Democratic sweep in the next election. I think that the Democrats lately would be losing elections even if they were running unopposed. This party needs some fresh ideas and some fresh leaders. The Congressional group appears to want to hold on to power as long as they possibly can no matter what the price. They certainly have raised ineptitude to an art form.
I'm still, however, of the belief that the family dog could run this country with more imagination and honesty than the Bush administration has demonstrated so far. So I will continue to support anyone opposing the usual array of right-wing fanatics that the Republicans are seeing fit to put up for election, no matter who their opponent is. As I said to anyone who asked during the past year's election: I'd vote for a pile of horse shit before I'd vote for George W. Bush or any of his ilk.
And I still feel the same way.
