It’s 2:30 a.m. Election Night and I’m geeked. What a night!
Now, let’s turn our attention to Harry Reid, Rahm Emmanuel, Schumer, and all the other Beltway Dems who think they know what’s best for us. Let’s flood them with emails, calls, blimps, and sky-writers, and tell them to get the hell off Howard Dean’s back and get their sorry asses to work removing the horrible legislation this administration has foisted on America. Let Dean run the Party. You folks need to start investigations across the board. Hit the Repub’s hard and keep on hitting.
The voters gave the Dem’s a message. Stop Bush. Stop the war. Stop the corporate criminals running the Executive Branch. Get to work and start representing “the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party.)
One more thing, tell your ole pal Joe to piss off when he comes demanding his committee chairmanship. The Repub’s elected him, not us. We owe him nothing.
That about sums it up!
“One more thing, tell your ole pal Joe to piss off when he comes demanding his committee chairmanship. The Repub’s elected him, not us. We owe him nothing.”
Exactly! Tell Joe to go blow. Now that we have the majority, hopefully in both places, we need to stay vigilant and demanding. We cannot let up and let Speaker Pelosi know we mean business.Let the hearings begin.
I’ve thought the Fifty State Strategy was the right idea ever since Dean first proposed it. I’ve been faithfully putting money into Democracy Bonds for over a year now.
So yeah, I’m happy with the results.
I may do my own diary later, or I may just take the day off and go enjoy my daughter’s birthday party later tonight. But we need to start getting the message out that there were not one, but two failed philosophies defeated last night: the Republican agenda of Sheriff of Nottingham-ism (soak the poor to benefit the rich) and the DLC policy of “clearing the decks for the most electable candidate.”
Call me a cockeyed optimist, but I’m hopeful that people are starting to wake up to the idea that they can control their political destiny. They don’t have to have solutions shoved down their throats from either side. Wouldn’t that be lovely?
That’s the best frickin’ comment of the day! Go take some time with the family. We all deserve to take a break today. The real work lies ahead of us all. Are we ready to rock’n’roll?
I don’t know about you, but a lot of the reason I’m doing this is for my family. I’ve said this before, but hear goes: I’m over 50. I have diabetes and have for years, and while I’ve got it under pretty good control right now, the odds are good that someday something related to that diabetes is going to kill me. I don’t know how many election cycles I have left.
So yeah, I want to improve things for myself, but I have four grandkids. The oldest is 9, the youngest will be 2 next month. I don’t want them growing up in an environment like the last six years.
So yeah. Family time today. Start work on 2008 tomorrow.
I hear ya Omir. Having just gone through a health scare in May/June. But I too have said(I am 54)Iafter 2000 and 2004 I am in this for my grandleezy. We owe them that much. Here’s to the kids!! Now let’s get them the hell out of Iraq and Afganistan. Enjoy your day!
You too!
