Politics is a funny business. What a difference a day makes.
Last week, Bush was on the attack, getting ready to hang Saddam, and swearing up and down he was keeping both Congress and Donald Rumsfeld. And Ted Haggard was demonstrating that the Religious Right are Wrong for America.
This morning?
Bush is getting all chummy with Democrats, it's hard to find news on Saddam, and Bush has lost Congress and that prick Rummy has resigned.
Ted Haggard is still proving that a holier-than-thou attitude has its drawbacks.
God Bless Democrats? Huh.
Unfortunately, troops are still dying in Iraq. More troops have died in Iraq than innocent people died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. No need to add the civilian deaths, costs, and disruptions in Iraq. Just this one statistic alone tells me how "safe" Bush has made us. Thanks, butthead.
In fact, everyone in the world basically hates us right now. Thanks Bush! Ruins my travel plans, I'll tell ya.
Fortunately, with today's election, perhaps there will be some international feeling that Americans are waking up. At least, that's what the articles overseas and quotes from foreign leaders are suggesting.
On a(nother) positive note, the big strides Colorado has made the past two years with a Democratic Mayor in Denver and a Democratic legislature will continue. I'm proud of the success and improvement in Colorado, and hope it continues now.
Of course, Coloradoans proved hostile to gay people this time around. Apparently they are worried about it affecting their marriage, just like that homo Ted Haggard, head of a Church even! I mean, if *he* can be corrupted by gayness, just imagine what those gays could do to normal moral folks like us?
It's like being in the white-trash trailor park, and voting to keep the trailer park down the road from getting running water, keeping them just a little bit lower than us, because we all need to be superior to someone. Mission accomplished!
*NOTE ABOUT THE TITLE: I'm swearing in Irish now to ensure that my readership at work doesn't get busted by profanity filters installed by their Ted Haggard boss.
