Predictions

November 7th is around the corner, and that is the day I anticipate because I will be able to watch TV without having to vomit during those wretched political attack ads. Joy of free-speech-laws-we-write-'em-we-abuse-em congressional-hot air balloon muckheads. And they are ALL guilty Elephants and Asses alike--at the end of the day, they all leave behind a trail of steaming, foul smelling waste throughout the national media.

phew. what a stench.

My biggest fear is this: If the Democrats take control of the House (and maybe the Senate, but I cant wager on that one), than they will have two years before the next presidential election to attempt to put the various shambled pieces of our country back together again. This can only be partially accomplished because they still have to contend with a Republican White House, and so, the damage will occur more slowly, and compromises will leave everyone with a bad taste in their mouths, and overall, the Democrats will only be able to bring about half assed attempts, and then, come November 2008, the Republicans can blame Democrats for lack of progress. Worst case scenario--we elect another Republican into the Oval Office.

If we win enough seats we will be held accountable for fixing the mess created over the last 6 years. The American people will let the Dems in as a Courtesy: not because they like them, but because they are a bit miffed with Republicans. They are sick of Foley, Abramoff, War on Terror and lack of job security. They might even feel that Bush is not the guy you'd imagine fishing with on a Sunday afternoon. Likability? Ha. So the Dems will get elected, but they will be scrutinized. We will have to recreate Iraq into a Utopia, Reconstruct social security, the health care system, education, medicare, the environment? ...Its a never ending mess and there is only room for widespread disappointment. And we will only have two years to fix it--under a Republican White House.

Happy Voting---and I hope you do
