A thoughtful piece on the state of things.

Sad that you can get attacked for being a vet but that's the new republican tactic these days, yes you can serve your country and be un-American too! You can be even more un-American if you lose mulitple limbs, just ask Max Cleland, who even though he lost both legs in Vietnam was attacked by the right and lost his Senate seat to a chickenhawk. Paul Hackett, (D) Ohio, lost a close congressional bid to a long-time Republican officeholder. He was an Iraq vet who had just returned from duty, his opponent a supporter of Ohio Gov. Taft who is being investigated for numerous conduct violations. And I thought Virginia was screwed up. Quoted as saying “I don’t like the son of a bitch who lives in the White House but I’ll put my life on the line for him” Hackett put his honor out for everyone to see. He lost a close race that the democrats had never come close to winning before under very suspicious circumstances. Hmmm. Ohio once again does what no single man can do, throw an election. One man, one vote, is total bullshit! Not in this country. If you are a Democrat in Virginia or a Republican in Maryland you might as well not bother to vote in the presidential election because your vote does not count. And if you are in the wrong party in a certain area you might just get intimaded enough to not vote at all. Amazing that we are behind even the new Iraq constitution in the democracy process. Our founding fathers should be spinning in their graves. I'm starting to believe that we need UN supervision for our elections. I wonder what Pat Robertson (R-Hell) thinks.
