To echo many of my previous sentiments, I can not wait for this to be done with and for progress and change to occur.Danielle Johnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262963278607119928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328158326335479526.post-77149253698111442732008-10-25T15:10:00.000-04:002008-10-25T15:10:00.000-04:00@ nefarious: As always, you and I can't but help ...@ nefarious: As always, you and I can't but help look at most political moves the same way.

Have we become so jaded, so blase, so trapped in mire and malaise that we are willing to cede control of our country and our rights to a group that thinks nothing of talking out both sides of their mouths?<BR/><BR/>8 years of Bush-style Republicanism is enough for any reasonable person to stomach. Another 4 years would put most of us in intensive care on IV anti-depressives. I've watched this country abstain from holding its government accountable. I've seen the nobler aspects of my home country be over-shadowed by our greed and moral conceit.<BR/><BR/>Obama must win. He will win. Tired, we all are, but we must drag ourselves to the finish line and see this thing done. We must ensure that if nothing else, a reasonable person sits in the Oval Office and gives us hope for change.Nefarious Newthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265387596697011256noreply@blogger.com
