How to see the Democratic Party reinvent itself and take back America!
It made me
so damn happy
 "So great to be a part of the taking back of our country!"
How I did it: It wasn't me, baby. It was all of us. We are blessed with a true statesman who emerged at a propitious time. We recognized him, and together we propelled him forward. Together we believed in a vision that Barack Obama was able to articulate.

How I did it: When they were counting votes, back in 2000, I sat at my desk and wondered how the United States could survive an idiot, a complete and utter mororn being in office. I bitched and moaned about it, and threatened to leave the counry. Some people said I was over-reacting, that it essentially doesn't matter who is in the white house. I wonder if those people still have a job, or, if they ever think back and say "holy shit..… Read how I did it…

This morning I put up these little signs
12 months ago
This is our bonsai gingko tree. Yesterday at work we had a pumpkin decorating contest, and our pumpkin was an electioneering fool all decked out with signs and slogans and vote eyes.
My favorite McCain -Palin sign said something about a little known fact re Palin: “She’s the reason compasses point North”. Cryptic, I know.
I put these little signs out this morning, and we stood a moment and watched. It is a rainy breezy day. We were watching the winds of change.

Today I picked up a No on 8 yard sign

And it sits in the front of the house, proudly among the Obama signs all over this neighborhood.
In the parking lot I drove through, along the freeways I drove upon, there were no McCain signs.
I am beginning to think maybe this is actually happening. America is waking up, as if from a terrible nightmare, and is determined to do something about the dishonesty and dislike for anyone who isn’t on the same narrow pathway that has ruled this political climate since Bush took office.

Borrowing the observations of another:
13 months ago
Quoting Bob Herbert of the new York Times:
This is such a serious moment in American history that it’s hard to believe that someone with Ms. Palin’s limited skills could possibly be playing a leadership role.
...
The morning after the debate, the Labor Department announced that the employment situation in the U.S. had deteriorated even more than experts had expected. The nation lost nearly 160,000 jobs in September, more than double the monthly losses in July and August.
Conditions are probably worse than even those numbers indicate because the government’s statistics do not yet reflect the response of employers to the credit crisis that has taken such a hold in the last few weeks.
Where is the evidence that Governor Palin even understands these complex and enormously challenging problems?
...
But after Senator Biden suggested that John McCain’s answer to the nation’s energy problems was to “drill, drill, drill,” Ms. Palin promptly pointed out, as if scoring a point, that “the chant is ‘Drill, baby, drill!’ ”
How’s that for perspective? The credit markets are frozen. Our top general in Afghanistan is dialing 911. Americans are losing jobs by the scores of thousands. And Sarah Palin is making sure we know that the chant is “drill, baby, drill!” not “drill, drill, drill.”
...somehow this puts me in the mind of a possible sequel to Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Invasion of the Mind Snatchers
