I couldn't believe it! I spent a mere 12 hours away from the MSM yesterday, logged on to Kos last evening, and found out there was mess going down and that Obama was in trouble again, that there were talking heads trashing him again, that the campaign was going to have to explain something again. Luckily, because of this site, I was able to find out even before I got a full grasp of what he said that he had already fired back brilliantly...
But I'm not sure which is more angering (or what I am most bitter about): The issues (economic inequities) Barack spoke so passionately about in his defense of his very valid remarks, or the fact that he had to defend himself at all! And then it dawned on me--one of the main reasons I am angry and bitter is because he's having to defend himself against a fellow Democrat, and I have HAD IT with that. I have just HAD IT!!!
And that's not all. I've also had it with the MSM's horrific need to find something--anything--to talk about. I don't give a rat's butt what any of them think anymore, but I find I at least have to know what they're saying so I can lob a few defensive blogs or emails here and there if need be. So I grudgingly tune in to as much as I can stand. And that's not a good way to experience newswatching. I shouldn't have to watch the news with the sole purpose of trying to figure out where the potential land mines might be. I'm exhausted with the "gotcha" politics, and I'm losing not hope, but any desire to tune in. Thank GOD for Kos! As I said earlier, I was able to exhale before the real panic even set in yesterday because of great posts on this blog.
Barack calls this the silly season and he's so right. I know most folks here are political junkies and probably have tougher nerves than I. Okay. I can admit that. I am a wimp and I can claim that. I don't like primary nights and don't watch the news until I know Barack has won a state. That's what we wimps do. But aren't some of you getting just a wee bit weary of this crap? Really, just kind of sick and tired of it? And when you think about why it's still silly and why PA is even an issue, it's because HRC is still hanging around, dogging a Democrat, teaming up with a Republican, and giving the hungry MSM the red meat they need to survive. That's what's going on.
So I'm writing to ask what you do when you get frustrated or angry or bitter about this campaign season or anything else (if you do, that is). How have you dealt with the onslaught of foolishness? I come here. I hope I don't get a bunch of comments telling me and everyone to suck it up, because of course in the end, we all have no choice but to do that. I am just wondering if anyone else out there has had it and is praying for the day when we can take on McCain. But the real question, I guess is: HOW ARE YOU DOING?
