I care [too much]about my kids and grandkids to sit home in a snit.

You know, I've given this a lot of thought, probably more thought than it deserves. I do take a small umbrage at such a dismissal of my agonizing over the present state of things as nothing more than a "snit."

The full weight of my thoughts in this matter is the weight of history: my own and that of at least two generations prior. I have watched, chronicled and carefully studied the GOP terminal addiction to money. A cure seems dubious; I've seen methadone treatments that eased the gnawing desire but killed the body anyway. That is what the Conservative vote amounts to at this point. Voting for an experimental cure is easy, soothing, and short-sighted.

I've watched the GOP neglect to lift a finger to extend its existence beyond an expedient voting cycle. It has invested in everything but education of the next generation. It eats its own young, and picks its teeth with their malnourished bones, bones grown thin and taxed without representation.

Do I vote for a pause in the decline or do I focus on the progeny and do my best to prepare them for what's coming: your rich Uncle Sam is dying and leaving you nothing in his will. Get your house in order.

I think you have it about right. When I mean snit, I mean that Obama must go, sooner rather than later. he is that dangerous.

We have good people out there who don’t want to run. That happens only because those people don’t want to drag the people they love through this process.

We are at the end. Another 4 years of Obama and there is no turning the dial back. At least not in our lifetime. Maybe never. I am kind of with those guys that know we may not be able to vote our way out of this mess.

That is how bad it is, and it is sad that we are in this dilemma now. We should have been grooming people for the task at hand.
