I think the Roberts confirmation may be the end for me [View All]

[Doctor_J]

I have been thinking of leaving the country anyway. I still give money to the local, state, and national Dems, but I don't really think I am going to any more. They're letting an ultra-right wing, unqualified, unresponsive partisan through without even a cursory challenge. I know, you know, and everyone who reads any sort of news source knows that if FL2000 comes up again next year or in 2008, this loser will again vote to overthrow the people's will. And yet "our representatives" won't say one word against this guy. And whoever is nominated to take Sandra's place will be just as extreme and partisan, and again will be waved through.

We have NOLAGate, Plamegate, 9/11, Operation Flight Suit, and Roberts all ongoing, and what does our 2004 candidate come up with? Oil prices! :wtf:

So I'm saving my money and lying low until I get a job in Canada or Europe. I'll probably walk to the polling place to vote for Durbin and Obama and whoever's running against Judy Biggert, but the party is of no use to me or anyone else at this point.
