(9,314 posts)THAT HELPS A LOT. I also have gotten out some old movies and CD's. I try to remind myself life is more than politics. I constantly remind myself when I get down that these days are a lot like the days when Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House. He constantly challenged Clinton, as if he, Newt, was the President. And of course, the impeachment only lent to the misery. When Ken Starr decided to post the official report on the Internet (then still a rather new concept) and included a picture of Bill Clinton's penis for the world to observe, thinking he was truly going to embarrass the President of the United States, I left the Republican party. I could no longer tolerate being associated with a party that did that type of thing. And so I became a Democrat and I knew almost from the beginning, that was where I had always belonged. It is very ironic that out of complete and total misery, the best political thing in my world happened to me.
