<p>I look at it this way (as a good liberal pessimist, crying in my tea…figuratively speaking, of course)…</p>
<p>Armegeddon or the fall of Rome (i.e. America) is coming either way. The Republicans are just hastening the process.</p>
<p>Kluge, actually I DO have a plan: a return to lesser government. </p>
<p>Something neither party seems to want to do.</p>
<p>A little off-topic. . . but Brandon’s Mom’s quote –</p>
<p>""Imagining Nancy “I can’t keep track of my facelifts” Pelosi as Speaker of the House . . . “”–</p>
<p>is so, well, there’s no other word than “catty.” I can’t afford face lifts myself. I can’t afford nice cosmetics, or to get my hair cut in a fancy place. But that’s not a basis to attack a woman in politics!</p>
<p>Deep within the liberal psyche:
Within the querulous metaphysics of the liberal, hope springs eternal…if by ‘hope’ we mean “apocalypse” or “the end of life as we know it.”</p>

<p>Where and what have the Democratic Party done in the past few years? Probably not much but then did/do they have to?</p>
<p>I have a theory from the observations of the companies that I have worked for: If you try to expand your reach beyond your core, you are doomed to fail. For this election cycle it seems to be one ‘folleytoomuch’! For the last Presidency, it was one ‘mouthtoomuch!’ Take your pick.</p>
