Democratic and Liberal political analysis and commentary

Ever since the first installation coronation election of monkey-boy George W. Bush, I have wanted to say I f-ing told you so to sooooo many people. This morning I read just the piece to get me in the mood to do just that. So, here I go.

To my uncles in St. Louis (you know who you are) who are really libertarians at heart, but voted for Bush because they were sure that he represented their interests more than Al Gore would, I told you that a Bush presidency would be a disaster. Even I could not have predicted how much the government would have grown under Bush, or how much more money he could spend than ever before. And guess what, he did not go out of his way at all to end abortion. Nope, he was too busy allowing Iraqi babies to be murdered than to worry about anyone on this continent.

To my ex-boyfriend David, who looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears one day at Don Pablo's, I told you! I had just come back from seeing Tipper Gore at a Tom Harkin fundraiser and heard on the radio in the car on the way to the restaurant that Bush and his cronies were beating the war drum. By the time I got in there and had ordered a beer, I was in full-out rant mode. David looked at me as though I was a crazy woman. He has since made right his initial bad decision to support Bush. He emailed me the day of the 2004 election to say he had voted for Kerry, which was against every Texas-born fiber in his body. But he knew that monkey-boy had been a disaster.

To Jay Wagner, who now writes for the Iowa Independent, I told you. I saw him at a Halloween party dressed as himself (a conservative republican) in a corduroy blazer just before the 2004 election. I had teased him a bit about voting for Bush and he called me a name, and walked away totally flustered. He is still dabbling in politics, when he takes short breaks from playing video games. The title of this post, "Giuliani Touts Conservative Values" pretty much says it all.

There. Now I feel better.
