Well, another deal conducted late and in the dark of night. And, I got a call this afternoon from the Republicans asking me for money. I think they know/knew they're not getting any more financial help from me and those others like me who feel betrayed by the good old boys. Just trying to get a buck at the last minute before the old bank door slams shut. I was very suspicious of the timing and had to actually hang up on the young man who called, he was not rude but I told him no and he didn't want to take that for an answer.
On the other hand, listening to Air America to find out how the loyal opposition is taking things...they're even more upset than we are. That being said, let us pause to consider the nature of politics and what we're actually worried about here. We have boys and girls out in the field right now, tonight, fighting and maybe dying. That's what's most important. If this deal gets the senators off dead-center so we can get the war issues dealt with hastily then I support it in that respect.
After I cool down a bit I might even get some sleep.
