This election is starting to feel like 1980 and 1994 wrapped into one election cycle. <br /><br />Robb might have the best idea to just pull up stakes and move to New Zealand. :)<br /><br />But since Larry and I are stuck here, we will just have to hope that things aren't as bad as they seem. I just wish the Dems would stand up and start sounding like Democrats again.<br /><br />And maybe with all those "vote by mail" ballots out there, and with most folks using cell phones (and not accessible to polls) the election might not be as bad as it seems.<br /><br />Losing Feingold would be terrible. It'd be worth knocking on a few doors for the poor guy. <br /><br />Either way, this election might best be handled with a bottle or two of wine for commiseration or celebration.<br /><br />allanAllan Stellarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664417640753179655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559482056018458626.post-48983419294701894012010-09-25T07:21:53.942-07:002010-09-25T07:21:53.942-07:00Allan,

I have always tried to be an optimist when it comes to America and its problems, but now, after 30 years of the same sh** I have lost my confidence.<br /><br />Today:<br /><br />Deficits are bad...cutting taxes are good.<br />Outsourcing of jobs is good...no jobs in America is bad.<br />Health care for all in Iraq's "democracy" is good ... health care for all in America's "socialistic" state is bad.<br />Energy independence is good...solar and wind power is not the way to do it though.<br />China is progressive...America is regressive.<br />America's best Senator (Wisconsin's Russ Feingold) is likely going to lose his Senate seat to a Tea Party Republican mulit-millionaire who has exported hundreds of thousands of jobs out of Wisconsin the past deade. Our progressive populace will elect him because he knows how to create jobs? Yes he does...overseas!<br /><br />I'm disheartened...I'm saddened...I'm frustrated...<br /><br />And yet let's not forget that as Rome burned...the wealthy elite prospered.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling better.<br /><br />Larrylphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181262431785226913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559482056018458626.post-51574965783922394112010-09-24T19:04:39.928-07:002010-09-24T19:04:39.928-07:00Kia ora Allan,

And to read today the FBI is now rousting and searching anti war protesters in Mpls. and Chicago for being suspect of "aiding terrorism" does not bode well. Shit, the US government and corporations have been doing that for decades! Look out free speech.<br />Cheers,<br />RobbRuahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.com
