This Saturday I’m going to caucus for Barak Obama. I’m none too happy with Nevada’s characteristically backwards closed policy that will require me to register as a Democrat just long enough to participate—I’ll be returning to my preferred independent status just as soon afterwards as I can. I do not believe that the fascist Bush administration has served this country well, nor has it done anything but besmirch this great nation’s reputation in most of the world. I admire Obama’s candid honesty and hope that it can survive with integrity the remaining months until he is elected our president. Working for his election is the only positive way I can think of to counter my cynical belief that this country lost its democracy when Bush was appointed to office in 2001 and of allaying my fear that the neo-cons have actually taken over our government without spilling a drop of blood (at least their own). I believe that there is a new day ahead for America, and it can’t come a minute too soon.
P.S. Mary has a new post at her blog, Rant, which is well worth the time it will take to link with it from my home page.
