I've got that same feeling today I had in 2004 when Booshe was re-elected

It's a general malaise or depression I can't explain. I listened briefly to Boner's acceptance speech, realized INSTANTLY it is a complete lie, they were ELECTED once again to power by lies, my state Governor is a fucking disgusting liar and was elected because of the big lie, and the President's cabinet is fracturing as if they see the cracks in the dam.

One day we'll figure out how to counteract these scumbags, one day we'll have a Frank Luntz, but I wonder if it will happen in my short remaining life?

I am so tired of losing to these whores.

2. I"ve had it for awhile

I didn't like the flavor of the koolaid--so I've never lost my depression for this country and what it is on the path of becoming.

3. The progressives don't stand a chance in hell

With the right wing media always framing everything to favor the republicans, there is little chance of ever ridding our nation of the crooks who continuously regain power like these monsters.

Every time someone gets in office that is progressive or leans that way they are attacked 24/7 until they are brought down. Facts are twisted, made up or faked, then up becomes down and inside is turned out, all to drive the right wing agenda of destruction of the middle class in America.

4. same here. It's the further lowering of what we expect from our government.

each and everytime these fools take over, it seems as if more blocks get knocked out from under the foundation.

6. My avatar is what it is for a reason.

The only variable is the degree to which it applies.

8. We were outmaneuvered for two years, Nancy Pelosi was demonized and used as a punching bag in ads

and we got the same fucks who screwed the pooch under Booshe BACK in power. Either the American people are amazingly stupid, or they are amazingly stupid.

7. i hear you, DB -- for sure.

you know...there's plenty of amazingly talented political comm folks out there...they're not being used. or, they're being misused...pointed at the wrong targets, etc. Luntz doesn't have magic juju. He's just got access.

9. Cheer up. It's going to get worse

I'm not kidding. You and me and 80% of Americans feel the same way. The new type of GOP mix with the Teabaggers in power will most likely finish off the underlying corruption of the Congress that's been going on since Reagan.

There will be a backlash in this country. There will be a revolution and it may or may not be violent. This country is in the process of changing, but first the dross on the surface must be scooped off.

Hopefully something better will be created by us.
