Say it ain't so!
At the very least, part of my non-blogging is due to various stages of disgust over the political landscape of the last several weeks. Utter disbelief at the stupidity of (almost) all politicians as well as the nitwits in the UN have broken through my psychic defenses and rendered me speechless.
The only good news I've seen in the last month is here. Congressman Flake (someone, from somewhere) put forth 19 anti-pork amendments, and to my disbelief (though I must admit some pride) my Democratic Congressman (Cooper) voted for every one of them. Elsewhere in TN, the Republican's and Democrat's ended up pretty evenly split in their support (or non-support) for wasting my money.
It's a scary thought, but from my vantage point in TN, thanks to Congressman Cooper and Phil Bredesen (well, and the ever-spending Republican majority in Congress), it appears that at least some Democrats are becoming more fiscally conservative than the conservatives. Other than national security, that is my new 2nd voting issue. So if we ever win the war against Islamofascism, I might actually vote for a Democrat. *Shudder*

that's the beauty of being an independent; you can vote for whomever wants to take less of your money without feeling like a traitor to your party! as far as voting democratic, though-- it's kind of like i imagine sexual "experimentation" in college (or ending up three sheets on a girls gone wild video, which, in retrospect, could be one and the same....); you might actually do it, but it's not something you tell your freinds later (or your parents).
