Today’s the day…
Cast my ballot at 6:15 this morning, and was glad to do so. With all but one exception, I voted Democratic (yes, Dad, you can rejoice.)
Yes, I’m naive. Yes, I’ve started to believe at least some of what I read with respect to Iraq, torture, foreign policy, and the covert operations of our current executive.
Yes, I believe in checks-and-balances, and the blank check Hastert and Frist gave Bush over the past 2-3 years is criminal.
Yes, I believe Carl Rove is Satan, a demagogue who sowed division in a country desperately needing togetherness, all for political gain.
Yes, I believe we’ve willfully exchanged freedom for safety.
