Thread Name: BS: Dems Take Senate
Subject: RE: BS: Dems Take Senate
Yeah, TIA, but on the other hand, while the election may have broken Bush's stranglehold on the US, the Dems ain't like saviors ridin' in on white horses...
GUEST, while perhaps at tad theaterical, has voiced some real concerns that will settle in after the euphoria about the "new bosses"... I have these same naggin' concerns... Yeah, I am more hopefull than I would have been if the Bushites had prevailed but I also understand that policy is driven by money and the average Joe ain't got the money to keep the machine going on a full time basis...
Fritz Hollinsworth, a former SC Senator, told "60 Minutes" that he had to raise $8000 a day to finance his next campaign just to stay in office... Hmmmmmmm???
So average Joe giving his 50 bucks here and there ain't gonna cut it and so, yeah...
...I'm concerned...
Where's the $$$ gonna come from an at what cost???
Ahhhhhh, not to be throwin' a wet towell on the celebration but...
