Reply #4: That's me...hopeful, but cautious

Some people I know were getting a little uneasy about a year or so ago, and stopped spouting so much of the talking points that they'd heard. Then, there was silence. Now, they're starting to say a few things. I never rub it in, or say I told you so, because I want to be sympathetic, tell them they've been conned, and get them to vote for Democratic candidates in 2006, and 2008.

I'm not going to drive away a vote for Democrats by getting in people's faces with a condescending attitude, because that's more of what a Republican would do if the roles were reversed. I want this whole corrupt administration out, and if it means shutting up while I watch people figure out things I've been telling them for six years, that's fine.
