The Times They Are A Changin'

For sure I got my dream ticket into office! Hallelujah! A fresh breath of air after 8 years of fear and dread. The largess of the American people came through all the rhetoric, nasty lies and fabrications to see into the future and realize a BIG change was needed at the top. Congress is a Demo majority as is the Senate, noit the perfect storm of 60 that we wanted but that will likely change again in two more years when some other senators come up for reelection. The Rebublican Party is in deep reflection now trying to sort out their direction and associations and that will take a while. John McCain will go back to the Senate to heal and fight the good fight for what he believes in while dear Sarah Palin will return to Alaska to serve out her last two years as Govenor OR work her way into running a campaign for the Senate seat soon to be vacated by the convicted criminal Stevens as the Demos will want to vote him out of his seat and many Republicans will do likewise...too big a smear on themselves if he's allowed to remain in the senate after his conviction. Then Sarah will use her experience as a VP runner to win the Senate seat from the Democrat and go on to a 4 year career in the senate as a junior senator. 2012 comes around and who knows what she'll do...but I BET the Republican Party won't want anything to do with her. Too embarrassing for words. Yes Sarah, Africa is a C-O-N-T-I-N-E-N-T, NOT a country. Boy. Like I said earlier, Hallelujah!

A New America Begins Today

Just the sense of Hope that I see on the faces of the persons heading into the city hall building to vote...hope filled to overflowing today the 4th of November, 2008.
We will elect a bright, shiny new 44th President of these United States. It will be a landslide for Obama, at least that's my prediction. We may get greater than 65% of the registered voters to the polls, maybe even break the record of 66% just because the interest has grown so very much over this two year election cycle, that and the promise of a new administration with a different agenda. I too am hopeful, hopefull for diplomacy betweeen the world's nations and our own. That a long, tedious and un-needed way in Iraq will soon be over and we can REALLY support our troops by bringing them home in one piece. Hopeful that we can begin to take care of our citizens like other modern countries do, with a national healthcare system that actually works FOR the people instead of the pharmacutical companies and HMO's.
That indeed we can make companies who send our labor overseas pay for that previlege.
People who are rich should pay more taxes, not less...they made it largely on the backs of the poor and dwindling middle class. That hope will reach to our schools, bring modernization and improvemnts to the actual pedagogy instead of the endless testing regimin of No Student Left Behind. Hope that our elderly will be cared for, that our infant mortality rate can be improved. All of these things that have apparently been shelved over the last decade. I wish us all the hope I saw in the eyes of those voters this morning, and if you didn't vote, shame on you.
Best of Luck Mr. Obama, best of luck!

Election Day 2008!

Tomorrow is The Day! We can throw the Republikan jerks out and get on with putting our Beloved United States back together again. The bastards are getting what they deserved all along...the entire last 8 years have been filled with dishonesty from the White House, lies and fabrications galore to set into place the Bush/Cheney Manifesto of hate and fear. Enough Brave Americans, tomorrow we take our country back! Go Obama and Biden!
