Well I looked & thanks for posting it Mud & thanks for poiting it out, Meek.
My *problem* is, I *just* had a neighbor gal tell me her father (an 87 yr old Repub) had told her this weekend while she was back in WVA viviting 'em, "Bush doesn't stand a chance."
When I asked her why he'd say that she says, "Well the state of the nation now & all that."
I said, "All what? Did you know we're better off now than the last term of the Bent1, only because people like you & your elderly father are watching CNN, you'd never know it. Right?"
She seemed truly surprised to hear my telling her *something* genuinly positive & optimistic; BUT, I have to tell you in my attempt to get her attention (& the glazed "1,000 mile look" in a ditzes eyes always give 'em away...), it really pissed me off to hear her say what she had.
In fact, I'm *still* royally torqued.
"Maybe that'll help ya feel better..."
I dunno, worked myself into a frightful lather right now.
Don't need to necessarily "feel better" per se, & if I did there's junk like *lithium* for that. :o)
...I'm just fightin' mad.
Oh, man. I see.haha ! Well, I just meant like for a 'news' type 'pick me up'. ;^)
Hang in there. We have Libs here in Texas, but not near as many
as some parts of the country, thank goodness.Sorry you'er havin' to deal with knuckleheads like that ...
The sources you use fer news definitely have a major impact on yer perspective...I helped ween a co-worker off NPR and his outlook has been sooo much rosier as a result. That 87-year-old needs to check his sources and discard those that are too willing to spout the DemonRAT talking points.
As yer you, 'Dru, you've often given me good advice to not get too high or too low in watching these campaigns...there's a lot of twists and turns ahead of us between now and November...don't pop a blood vessel!!
