Now I just have to convince him to represent me instead of some other random Ohio district (waves hand dismissively at other district).<br /> <br /> I do like the secular coalition for America's scorecard. I also really like Project Vote Smart's National Political Awareness Test, where political candidates indicate which measures they'd be likely to support if they are elected to office. Unfortunately, not all are willing to take it (explain how we feel about issues??? Oh swoon!), but I've really enjoyed paging through the results of those who have. It gives me a far clearer idea of who I'm most closely politically aligned with than 30 second smear commercials.

Our reality, but we can stop it. We have our brains, the only Theist who has used their brain (that I know of) is Spanders. Spanders is on our side, so while we are outnumbered we out smart them.

What happened to us? What happened to the ideals that the United States was built on? What happened to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

OK, it’s early, and I’m bitchy.

Will our government ever again focus on America’s real problems? It seems to me that it is very adventageous for them to simply split apart the citizens.

There is no more middle ground. There is no working together.
There is no room for compromise.

You’re either a nasty liberal or a nasty neo-con. There is no middle ground. None. Nope. Not yours.

I’m so disillusioned I could cry.

/rant over. I’m going to the gym to work out my anger.
