Nothing to Say

Well..you may have noticed I haven't posed a blog in several days... that's because I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
I've been thinking about things I said that I probably should NOT have said, or how I SHOULD have said them, but it seems like wasted brain power now to dwell on them..
I don't know how I feel about the Democrats in control of Congress, yes it is better than the GOP, but not sure by how much. While the Republican Right scares the Sh*t out of me, the Democrats often get my hopes up and then disappoint big time. I'm afraid it might HELP the GOP in 2008, as Congress seems pretty unpoplar regardless of which party is in control since it is such a wasteland of incompetence and corruption, and it looks like some Dems will probably be fingered in the Abramoff scandale and others.
To all those who had hopes the Democrats will END the War in Iraq..SURPRISE. They will not. It will keep going for a few years at least. There are institutional (i.e. military) forces at work that will not allow the U.S. to withdaw from Iraq soon.
And the Democrats will NOT do what Dennis Kuccinich suggests, and CUT OFF funding for the war. That would be interpreted as abandoningn the troops, and that will be a BIG NEGATIVE in 2008. And the will NOT cut any wasteful military spending either for the same reason.
The Theocons (theocratic conservatives) seem to be winning more power in both political parties, so watch as both parties continue to play their GOD cards...
The GOP and conservative press will keep boxing the Democras into a right-of-center position by accusing everything they do as being "socialist" or even worse, "San Francisco Liberalism." So the Dems will probably NOT move to the left where they need to go on many issues... it will be the SOS as before...
I think Gay Marriage is DEAD in the U.S., while it and other gay rights causes seem to be advancing in the rest of the civilized world..
If Tennessee keeps moving to the right we may need to start a freedom highway to Vermont or somewhere north of the Mason-Dixie line soon...
So I guess I did have something to say after all.. Sorry I'm feeling kind of down politically right now...
