22. The 50 state strategy is a no brainer
Wed May 9, 2012, 01:08 PM
May 2012

and that is one reason I gave Dean no credit for it but at least he pushed it. Really, how could a national party not think that way? Oh well.

I think they, the haters, are very happy like they are. Somehow they have convinced themselves that their hate is actually love, the love of God and the love for God and that they will be rewarded for it. They are smug but then none of this is information that everyone here does not already know.

I take this post by Will as something encouraging that I will think back on after the damage from this session is all finished and we have to work through it. It makes everything we do in life harder and harder unless we are willing to give up our brains and hearts to what they say. Knowing there are others still able to be in a place where there is at least some thought given to compassion and fairness gives me a little joy once I stop feeling terribly sorry for myself. It is hard to work as hard as we have only to be mown down like this.

It is eating me alive at the moment.

I think there are a lot of sick at hearts right now.
