I cannot believe that at my age, I have been so politically naive.

It is all one big game, eh? These twenty year veterans of the belt way are doing nothing but cavorting around with the enemy--at least I consider them the enemy.

What comes to mind is after one of the debates, second or third, Bush, with his arm arouind Kerry said something like "Let's meet somewhere"

I can't believe I gave , sometimes my last penny, to a campaign that was enabling insiders to make millions, all the while being joined at the hip witht he opposite party. I don't care if it is done all the time--that is a fallacy argument.

I can't believe that I have now bad relationships with my own family, children and siblings because I argued against Bush, while Kerry was dancing around hiring bed partners of the Republicans.

One of them said to me "They are all the same" and at the time, I argued.

They have made millions--Kerry took the overflow and intended to keep it for another run--while I put off certain luxuries, such as steak, in order to support him.

Truly, this system is corrupt. Truly and I must make ammends to a member of my family, where relationships turned, painfully, very cool, and apologize.

They are all the same.

It is no wonder the Democrats appear to be spineless. They are not, with the exception of a few who still possess some integrity, spineless--they are players in the game. --raking in the money, going to the posh parties,being connected, networking with the fascist Republicans and having a whole lot of fun cavorting around DC with their Republican buddies while taking money from poor, but hopeful naive people.

Lieberman makes sense now. Gephart appearing int he rose garden kissing Bush's ass makes sense now.

This is the way it is played, and this is the way that many, even Democrats, say it must be played if we are to have an "electable" candidate.

I won't play anymore, after reading this entire thread.

No Democrat is going to delve into this mess--they may lose their "contacts" and their plush position as an "honorable"

Thoroughly disgusted now.
