The trouble with Hillary.
  • high hopes for the democrats in 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't wait until we all vote for a Democrat in 2008!! Then the war will be over and everything will be okay!!! Just like when we voted for all those Democrats in the House and Senate in 2006!! They sure gave those wackos in the White House a tough time!!! Go Hillary!!!

    C'mon now. The whole "at least they're not as bad as the Republicans! Really, they're not, I swear!" routine is getting really old really fast. You can bash Nader all you want, but the only power we have to influence the actions of our elected officials is to make sure they know we have the power to NOT vote for them. If they know that they're our only option, what incentive is there for them to do ANYTHING besides what their corporate backers want them to do? I would think that the fact that the 2006 midterm election failed to put even a speed bump in the path of of this derailed administration might wake you up just the teensiest little bit.

    But whatever. You can vote for Hillary and laugh at me when the heavens open and shower the world with love and light on January 21st, 2009. But over here in reality land, I'm having a little bit more trouble drinking that particular glass of Kool-Aid. But I guess we gotta throw our lot in with the Democrats, eh? They're sure better than them Republicans, huh?

    I'm looking forward to the TMW strip that shows Sparky as the 1940's private dick, uncovering Police Commissioner Harry Reid as the kingpin for the evil cartel.
