I live in West Virginia and as I speak I am tearing up my WV Democratic Party affiliation. I am so completely disgusted with my spineless Democratic senator that I will never drive past the Robert C. Byrd
____ ever again without spitting.
I can not believe how spineless and disunified our party has become. The leadership couldn't organize shit on a pig farm. Alito will provoke multiple constitutional crises and take us merily skipping into a monarchy. Why did Byrd do this? The Fuckpublicans announced that multi-millionarie John Raese will run against Byrd. Excellent timing, no? Why the hell can't Democrats strategize. In this increasingly rightward leaning state, this was the nail in the coffin. I am continously mystified as to why the nations poorest or second poorest state continues to vote against its own economic (and living in the case of the miners) interest. How many times have you been blocked from going to church? How may gays have attempted to molest you? How many times has the government come to your (law abiding) home to collect your guns? NOT ONE GOD DAMNED TIME IN WEST VIRGINIA. But these issues play so well here. The inbred red-neck across the street has Bush plastered in his window. Why? The Fuckpublicans have a simple message that simple people can understand. Try explaining John Kerry's message here. I did. I canvassed my ass off even though I am a Deaniac. See Senator Byrd, that's something called LOYALTY! We're doomed.
I cannot stand continuously losing.
