You thought I’d be here Wednesday gloating, didn’t you, seeing as how I’m a big ol’ Democrat? I’ve gotten my first sense of political relief since late 2000; I’d be lying if I said otherwise But it’s not all about the Democrats. It’s about balance. It’s about no one group or individual thinking they or s/he can just do whatever without explanation, without listening, without accountability. In simple terms, I think the three branches of our government should represent ALL of us, and I haven’t felt represented for a while.
So yeah, I feel better. But I guess I stayed away from the celebration because it’s hard for me to break into a big dance when I feel like I’d be doing it on top of the bodies of the freedoms we’ve jeopardized, the allies we’ve alienated, the international treaties we’ve snubbed, the non-combatants we’ve sacrificed, and the more than 2,800 dead and over 21,000 wounded American men and women in Iraq.
All that being said? Thank you, Pennsylvania. Dogs–yellow and otherwise–everywhere knew Rick Santorum was lying.
