i have never really been interested in the political process in my 20 years of voting eligibility. my interest began about 1 1/2 years ago when arnold started his run for the govenorship of my state. i was outraged and felt it was time to register to vote, to prevent the mockery of minnesota's wrastlin' governor out here by casting my vote against the terminator. i felt pretty good about being involved in the political process, even though he won.

well here it is a year + since the govenator has had the wheel, and much to my suprise things seem to be getting done out here. granted we have put the state in debt for years to come with his borrow from pete to pay paul bond efforts.

well i started to find W's act appalling about 2 1/2 years ago when his smug ace lied about things that really mattered. it was not just lying about a stain on a fat chicks dress. the more i payed attention to his, and his cabinets adjenda and act the more i soured on him. my passion for the process grew, and continues to grow everyday a bit more. mostly encouraged by the strombergs and islands of this board, and world. i find myself holding three fingers up like a W and the dropping the two outer fingers and letting the one remaining show where i stand to a person with a W sticker. this has never been in my charcter and i think i have the stromberg to blame. he has brought out the passion in me on this topic and has made my distain for bush palatable. its not a feeling i relish.

i am outraged that they continue to cast a smoke screen and bash a guy they knew nothing about until earlier this year. the excuses made for their boy bush and this war HE got us into as a valid war are comical. i wonder if they really think about what they post here, i know i dont, i let emotions take over and i apologise to each one of you for that. i just hope that i wake up on the 3rd of nov and stare at the renates of the bush admin floating in the bowl of my american standard porcelian. even a bad wipe wont be so bad that day.


stromberg, the way you preach over and over is not the act of a confident man. your act reminds me of something m,y pops told me once, "when moving if you write fragile on every box it loses its effect". i have decided after much thought, my vote will be cast to cancel out stromberg's, rendering his vote usless. a year and a half ago i was not even a voter, and now iam clipping the berg!
