No longer hoping for the best

and I'm beginning to expect the worst. I just can't get my hopes about any of this any more. On election day, I was just about dancing down the isle at the grocery story. I was so convinced that we had done it. That Kerry was going to win in a landslide. Then on election night all those hopes and dreams were shattered. I was a basketcase for two days.

Kerry had run a good campaign and there was no comparison to the level of support for Kerry as compared to the lackluster turnouts for Bush. I know what I saw with my own eyes. Myself and 1000's of other standing in the FL August Sun to see John Edwards and no one had to sign a loyalty oath. I saw the O'Dome filled to capacity to see Michael Moore and 99.9% of the arena was voting for Kerry. These are just two examples of what I saw and know is the truth.


So here we are. The moment of truth is upon us. However, I am afraid to hope anymore. All I can say at this point is that if Jan 6th goes to shit, I don't know what I am going to do.

I do know that I will never again support or vote for any incumbent DEM who does not support Conyers tomorrow.

As far as I am concerned it will the end of the Democratic Party and I might as well quite wasting my time with them.

And for anyone who doubts that I strongly supported Kerry since he won the nomination, I am the person that gave the Kerry campaign prima facia evidence of collusion between the Bush/Cheney campaign and the SBVT. I'm talking documents that would hold up in a court of law.

All along I've defended Kerry. Telling people here to trust him. That he knew what he was doing. Today, I feel a bit like Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. I look at Kerry and fear that he and the rest of the DEM leadership have forsaken us. This is the DEMS darkest hour. It's all or nothing now but I am no longer able to hope that Kerry or anyone else is going to save the day and America.

I still hope that I am totally wrong.

Peace be with all of you.
At least they can't say we didn't try.
