Hard to stay focused on this roller coaster ride!
I love to rant, obsess, scream at the other side as much any normal human being does - and to an extent its most likely healthy - especially since I went through a period of about three years without DU, wondering, "am I the only one thinking these eerie thoughts about our govt and the war?"

But now I know I am not. I know I am in the majority, my feelings are valid - proving to be true - and I can make a difference in many ways.

The fear creeps in, though. I see a Swift Vote Ad, a CNN anchor spinning polls, hundreds of *bush supporters at a rally and I fall back into fear, dread, and wonderment, "don't they see?"

Then the Boss shares his "Chords of Change" and Jon Stewart takes on a a spinning Repug and I am again reminded I am not alone.

But the GOP is in a desperate state right now - on the attack with full venom spewing. They will lie, cheat, steal, and do anything else it takes to stay in power.

God, I wish the election were next Tuesday. Put this baby to rest.

But then again, I think how much more can I do - can I help make in a electoral landslide? A mandate?
That's what I'm talkin about!!!

Why vote now and win narrowly, when we have almost three months to rant, rage, and yes, discuss, to get out the votes and fuckin crush this * regime and all the thugs that ride along with him.

So there's my rant - stay vocal, stay active, vent on DU, and swing a voter a day.
