Things I almost said about the election

After spending most of the night watching television and learning that the democrats are taking over congress and most likely the senate I had some scathing revenge writing planed. Being the passionate and forgiving person I am (like most democrats) I don't hold a grudge or want revenge. It has been like that in life for me as child and an adult. I've been wronged a few times in school and at the work place and hold no animosity's towards any one. I'm sure I've done a few cruel things in my life and am certainly no angel.

I was going to say things like....George Dubya is sending Cheney crow hunting this morning (alone) so they all can have a huge eat crow dinner together tonight. Even Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and the entire Fox News network would be invited. What a blast they would have and they could all throw up together after they ate, but I just would never say that. I know. You are saying...why not say it?

Look at all the nasty, disgracefully and out right lies the republicans have been using on the Dems. Even pounding John Kerry into the ground over a botched joke.

Someone like Nancy Pelosi took the high road, after last nights blood bath and welcomed George and boys with open arms and asking that they all work together for the good of the country, the way it is supposed to be.

Here is where I changed my thinking. I watched President Bush at the news conference this morning and saw the hurt he was feeling. I felt sorry him (even if maybe I shouldn't have) and then again thought. "He is the President of the United States of America and should be shown more respect just like it used to be.”

My father was a staunch democrat but liked Ike. Most folks did and trusted every thing he did like it or not. I'm not going to get into all the things George W. Bush should or shouldn't have done.

This might sound corny but I took this from a country song. "Fathers don't just love their country every now and then....it's a love with out end...Amen.
