My word are you one cynical bugbear! I get it, I get it...it must be hard to be the only one cooly disengaged from the process, the only one to see the forest for the trees blah blah blah.
It must be so painful for you to watch all these young and idealistic people rallying behind a politician...after all only you can really see that he's an Elmer Gantry, life must be tough.
Yep, all those idealists are most certainly wrong. History has shown the folly of their ways, except..you know...when it hasn't.
(1) There's a difference between idealism, and a religious devotion to a man selling not concrete changes, but just the idea of change/hope.
(2) I feel the exact same way when I saw how much support Americans were giving Dubya back in 2000. Except now it's happening in my own party.
