the dems probably wont keep control, if you can even say that they have it now as the party itself is splintered but i just hope obama learns to use that veto pen.

in any event my dad always said, you just have to wait a few years to let one or the other hang themselves with their own ropes. im terrified of the tea partiers and their members like carl paladino for one example and bachman etc but im just as sure thatthereps are terrified of the dems in general. we will remain a country deeply divided for decades. my hopes are on the young people.

im a child of the 60's and to this day i believe my our slogan....war is not healthy for children and other living things. i am pissed at my party for not having the guts to investigate further into the lies bush and cheney were fabricating to go to war. they are evil bastards no doubt but my party is not blameless. some had the courage to vote no on the war. precious few.
