I am so tired it’s not even funny. I also have so many things to say I feel like I am about to burst but I am so physically and mentally exhausted right now that it will have to wait till tomorrow.
Greg over on TalenShow just posted an entry that I can whole-heartedly agree with, so I am quoting it here to speak for at least some of the thoughts I am having right now. I would just like to add that I feel also betrayed by the corporate media, particularly MNBC and NBC (Fox was a given) for calling an election that was nowhere close and still isn’t.
But otherwise I completely agree with Greg:
If my soul-crushing despair were translated into wealth, I’d be rich enough to benefit from Bush’s tax cuts.
Despite the hundreds of reasons to vote against the President, he’s already claimed the popular vote. I still hold out hope that Kerry can sweak by in Iowa and Ohio, but it doesn’t change the fact that the majority of Americans think Bush deserved to be re-elected. John Edwards is right. There are two Americas and they don’t even speak the same language at this point. Regardless of who wins, America is in bad shape.
Around the country, eleven states approved constitutional amendments to ban gay people from getting married. Apparently the mental image of two men in love is too “icky” for Americans to allow them to share the same partnership rights that heterosexual couples have. Never again let a conservative tell you that they want the government to stay out of their lives. It’s a lie and tonight’s results prove it.
The GOP has strengthened their hold on the Senate and the House. Regardless of what happens elsewhere, the legislative agenda of the far right, represented by DeLay, Hastert, and Frist has been given a mandate to get away with anything they want. At the same time, the strength of the current Republican leadership will further marginalize the moderates of the Republican party. link
It’s not over yet, but I simply have to get some rest. More tomorrow.
