Do you ever feel like sanity is slipping away?

[Liberalboy]

The past few days I have been amazed at what has transpired in American culture and politics. Every time I have turned on one of the TV news stations (never Fox) I have seen either Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson as the guest. Are we still the liberal media?

Then Janet Jackson exposes her breast (on accident or purpose - i don't care) and the FCC is trying to burn her at the stake. For God's sake people its a breast not a gun! Then I hear that some NBC affliates are not going to run ER tomorrow night because apprently they will be showing an elderly women's breasts in one of their segments. Then this morning I hear that the traditional values coalition wants to have the FCC go after Cable television (HBO, Showtime, etc.) because of their "indecent" shows.

Dennis Miller is now a Republican.

Finally, just when I was getting hopeful that some Democrat might unseat Bush, Massachusetts comes out with supporting Gay marriage. I want to be happy because that means that my partner and I might finally be able to go somewhere to recognize our relationship, but I can see * using this for some election year slimefest.

I'm expecting to be rounded up and put in concentration camps by November 5th.........jesus.

1. sanity slipped away

when the SCOTUS selected *

if not during the campaign when the media WHORED relentlessly to prop up a bluesuit packed with pure chimpshit

2. Yes, but I expect to get it back.

Seriously, those voters upset over the gay marriage deal, I have to believe, would vote repuke anyway. The issue is here and there is no running away from it, MA decision or not.

As I always say, I think the crux to the election is the 10-15% swing voters, many of whom vote according to looks, personality, the 'beer buddy' test, and other trivial criteria. Anything but issues to these people; issues confuse them.

3. with catterwalling callers on Hannity, there IS hope...

The gay marriage thing is a strange issue to be pivotal. Was talking about this with a gay friend of mine the other day. In the currrent global 'climate', it's seems such a pittance. How can it be that this issue makes such a nationwide fear and panic arise that could threaten the election? (I'm not naïve. The question is rhetorical, really.)

Honestly, what do these people think will happen if gay people start marrying each other?? They're not saying they're going to marry THEM (the scaredy cats and bible thumpers), for cryin' out loud! Jeez. You'd think that they'd be happy that the Scary Gay People will be happy homemakers out from underfoot and not 'preying' on their young or unsuspecting...

But that's why a few of us are trying to find inventive ways to capture the swing vote. (check out the website below)...try to shift attention BACK to some issues that shouldn't be forgotten whatever the fashionable or unfashionable news du jour may be. Don't let people forget that they have the power to make change. Don't let them forget the legacy of lies and bankruptcy...

4. No, I don't

These jackass Republicans have been sitting under a rock since Nixon...They almost had their shit together during Reagan's maloxx Presidency, and they sharpened their ugly personality and skills from 1992-97.

They are just horrible people, history has seen them before..you are not going crazy.

5. I long ago accepted that the world is indeed insane . . .

and that has allowed me to function a whole lot better as part of it . . . once you understand the insanity, you can deal with it . . .

6. I don't know

Wouldn't that encourage complacency? I mean i can certainly understand the sentiment, but wouldn't accepting insanity make it harder to fight for a sane world?
