Pardon my cynicism, but I still remember the idiocy of a Federal government that couldn't come to a consensus on authorizing funding for our military campaigns but had no problem garnering nearly unanimous support in Congress in 2003 for a Federal law to protect Americans from -- now get this -- TELEMARKETERS. WTF? LOL.
Being cynical is one thing. Acting out on emotion and not counting the costs properly and doing something stupid is quite another.
I submit that voting Dem or not voting at all is an emotion based act of stupidity - and I say that as someone who has been cynical about Karl Rove - and the GOP establishment consultants - since late 2000 and who has a long history of published material on that very topic.
