No, no! Venting is GOOD! My journal is ALWAYS open for any amount of Bush bashing. He's done good things, don't get me wrong (he, um, didn't insult the nation too much in its time of tragedy after 9-11 except for all his commercialism remarks about how people can help buy buying things, and the no-call phone list is good, except for the few actually good businesses it puts out of business) And I'd never wish harm on him. I just disagree with him about EVERYTHING he says and does and don't think he should have ever been elected (whoops, wait, he wasn't, technically)
I live in Virginia, which is so republican (and southern republican, the second to worst kind only after Texas republican) that it's HELL most times living here. I grew up in northern VA with all the military and washington influence- everyone LOVED Regan and daddy Bush to death. I was only one of two out of a class of 35 to do a speech in class about Clinton when he was running for pres. I'm MORE than used to my peers talking about how they love republicans, then not understanding things like how tax cuts hurt or how they're going to need social security down the road, and just liking/hating the guys in power because their parents do. Idiots. All of them. I don't understand people. Never have. Just comes from having very liberal parents and growing up amongst conservatives. So even though I live in southern VA now, there are, like, a couple people who aren't conservative. And it's like a world of difference :-)
As for speaking out. I'm done with it for this term. I've no voice left. I'm just appauled at this presidency and all the people who have been forced to die in wars that were begun on false pretences. I used to be all politcal, rallies, signing people up to vote. I've just lost hope this year of my making any difference. All I can wish for now is that the country isn't screwed up past the point of recovery. People have been through worse and survived... I can hope that eventually the country will recover and that too many people's lives won't be ruined before that happens. But with Bush, that last part's maybe too much to hope for. *sigh*
