I want to thank George W. Bush sincerely

[renie408]

for what he has done for me personally. If it were not for Bush being one scary m'f'er, I would never have had the impetus to really pay attention to what is going on politically in this country. I truly enjoyed standing with all those other people and listening to John Edwards message of hope and empowerment yesterday morning. Four years ago, I would never have bothered to go to something like that. I ordered my first Edwards stuff yesterday and made my first donation to a political campaign. And it felt good. And I never would have done it without Bush. I never really understood how the caucus or primary system worked, I never paid any attention to early debates, I never bothered much with anything until it got down to the general election. I am very ashamed to say that I have never voted in statewide elections unless they were tied to a national one. That is going to change. I would have dismissed a website like this one as boring or too...I dunno, something... four years ago and was I ever wrong.

I also want to thank everybody here, even the ones that make my head want to explode. Cause you are here and that means that you are paying attention.

2. Yes, one side effect of the chimp's awful policies

is that he's creating a lot of liberals (just as Viet Nam did).

3. Renie, thank you

Bush has managed one small part of his "I'm a Uniter" lie. He unites people to oppose his ass.

4. I'm right with you.

I was really apathetic about politics even through the 2000 election. My feeling was "Okay, so Bush got into office...how bad can he really be?"

And then I found out exactly how bad he could be. :scared: I started attending protests, writing email to representatives and senators, and--for the first time in my life--donating money to a political campaign. The one good thing His Chimperial Majesty has done for me is make me wake up and pay attention to what's going on in the government.
