Bush II; Day 369: Laying the foundation for taking back our country

So how do I feel?

When I was driving home last night they were still thinking that Prop 75 and Prop. 73 would pass, which really honestly brought me to tears in the car. Not big, gulpy, sobby tears, just a fine mist of frustrated angry tears. If you want to read a take on the Prop. 73 issue that unfortunately has not been widely expressed via party "talking points", but is wonderfully convincing, check this one out by danah boyd.

[Side note: I know so many women who find this the bane of their existence: when they're really pissed the tears seem to arise...and it feels wimply, not angry and powerful. Does this happen to any guys out there? Seriously.]

Anyway. Obviously I was very happy to wake up and find that Ah-nold and his plans went down in big smoky flames.

But all this does is set the table, or lay the fondation if you prefer. We have work to do. To defeat Ah-hold in 2006. To help the rest of the country help us win back at least the Senate. And to move on toward a victorious 2008.

So, don't sit back and relax now.

Some of those anti-women's rights and anti-union props. came a little too close to passing for comfort. And you know Texas passed another constituional amendment putting discrimination against gays in the constitution, right?

Now is the time to work even harder and follow this punch that knocked the right-wing radicals back on their feet with a 2006 punch that will knock them down, and a 2008 punch that will knock them out.
