"hand wringers, that is what we've elected!"
Clerks and PR men and women.
For the record, I voted for W. It was the first time in years that I had voted at all, I am ashamed to say. That is actually how little I believe in our government per se.
I'm glad you voted for W. The alternative is unthinkable. Were the same toss-up there even after this, I'd still vote for W. But I am going to begin working actively now for a party that upholds my values (which are American values) and which I hope will one day become a major party in American politics.
