I've been away for a long time. After '04 I was exhausted. I was tired of working so hard to elect democratic candidates only to be smacked down to ground on election night. I was tired of my fellow americans either failing to vote or voting for GOP candidates that had lied and misled this country.
I withdrew from politics and all that went with it. I quit checking Dailykos 18 times a day. I did not read talkingpointsmemo anymore. I played with my kids, continued to work hard and went through life humming a "i'm not going to pay attention to W leading us to hell in a handbasket" tune.
But, a few months ago I awoke from my slumber. The country was paying attention. Slowly but surely, the truth has started to come out. Scandals have been exposed, the horror of W's rule has come to light and the American people have all had a collective lightbulb go off.
Thank God. I working hard again for Dem candidates to get them elected and keep them in office. I hope on Tuesday this country does "turn the corner" and I hope it is in a big MACK truck and then we run right over the corrupt and dangerous GOP.
I saw this Video linked at talkingpointsmemo.com. Give it a watch. Its powerful.
See you on Tuesday.
