Four more years. I’m just terrified. And I’m sick of being terrified.
The weak-spined nitnoggined shitsquirt at least had some impetus to rein himself in because he had re-election to think of. Now, there’s no holds barred for him OR his vacuum-skulled corrupt supporters. You think it’s bad now? Hah. Wait four years. Just wait.
I thought what happened during the campaign season was pretty telling. During the campaign, our Kerry yard signs were repeatedly torn down, one of our cars (with a bumper sticker) was egged, we were flipped off several times and today, when (after a considerable amount of pressure, because I was taught voting was a personal matter) I told a co-worker who just wouldn’t shut the fuck up that I voted for Kerry, he called me a Communist. With a smile, of course. But it’s a pretty shitty thing to say to a political moderate (and I am; I vote for competency, not politics) and a member of the DAR, for crissake.
Of course, I smiled right back and said if I was a Communist, then he must be a card-carrying fascist. Not that I believe that about Republicans in general, but it shut him up, at least, and fair’s fair. But you get the point.
Anyone who doesn’t see the results of the current Bush stranglehold should have seen my ballot today. There were – count them – six races which had opponents at all. Out of twenty-one. There were no less than eight Republican judges who ran unopposed. On top of that, with the GOP gerrymandering – oh, pardon me, redistricting-- we could no longer vote for the competent representative we USED to have. Uh, what choice is THAT?
Bush is going to have Republican control of the House and the Senate. He’s got several big media corporations in his pocket for propaganda pumping. He’s going to get to appoint at least one Supreme Court justice during this term – and this is the president who appointed a federal judge who firmly believes women should be subservient to men.
I predict in a year we’ll see a draft and see Roe v. Wade overturned. If we’re lucky, that’ll be all we see.
I love what my country truly is. But damn if I love the bastards who are raping her, and they’re double-teaming and gangbanging to boot. And damn if I know what to do about it. All I know is that, as I said in the beginning, I’m sick of being terrified and not knowing what to do about it. And I’m even sicker of being ruled by the intellectually impaired.
And oh, yeah, I’m a redneck hillbilly by lineage, if not by residency. For the record, none of the redneck hillbillies I’m related to would claim that lying sack, nor would they vote for him. He may be the product of inbreeding, but it isn’t Southern inbreeding, thankyouverymuch.
Anyway. Thanks for opening the thread.
