Ebbie,

No, no, no... This isn't about cynicism or despaie but the reality that:

A. Bush is screwing up big time and

B. Kerry and the Dems are letting him get away with it.

On the "open letter to Nader folks" I mentioned that maybe the American peole need another 4 years of Bush so that they fiully understand that folks like him don't have their best intersts at heart.

But the Dems proably need another 4 years of being out of power so they can figure out that they have to be a ***true*** opposition party that paints the vision of where they thing the country should go, not quibbling about amounts of tax breaks for this or that but more about their vision of what kind of country they want. And they are going to have to throw some constituencies, other than redneck America, some bones...

When they do that then we're on the road toward a two party system, which opens the door to a three, four or five party system that will better represent the intersts of all Americans.

Ya ever wonder why folks don't wanta play any more? Why should they? This is despair 'er cynicism. Just reality...
