The national Democratic Party is hell-bent on political suicide and there ain't one damn thing we can do about it.
I've never been one of those people who says there's no difference between the parties. But what has become blindingly clear is that the national Democrats are incapable of defeating even one element of the Republican plan to destroy everything that truly made this country great. At best they can slow parts of that plan down ever so slightly. And the choice between destruction and slightly slower destruction ain't much of a choice.
I genuinely dread what a president Palin or Gingrich or Huckaboom or whomever else from their stable of maniacs the Republicans nominate in 2012 will do to our nation, but at this point I think that's where we're headed no matter how hard we batter our heads agains this wall.
I respect those of you who haven't reached this level of despair. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind down the road, I've been know to do that sometimes. But for now I'm turning my meager efforts to local issues, where maybe I can actually make a difference.
I'm not going to GBCW or even TTFN from this site, I know I'm too much of a junkie to make that stick. But I think I'll try to stick mostly to the environmental issues for a while, and in particular stay away from the pie fights.
