A government that looks the other way while allowing a dumbass president wage a war over his personal agendas and his buddies' oil profits is NOT my government. A government that tells loving individuals with longterm relationships that they are going to hell for loving each other and have no rights to the same matrimonial freedoms as everyone else is Not my gov. A government that tries to take away or diminish a woman (or young girl's) right to choose what she does to her body is Not my government. I haven't felt represented for a long time (at least 7 years...)

I'm not a republican nor am I a full blown democrat either. I don't know what to call myself anymore. I'm so confused. I have to agree. I’m not a republican nor am I a full blown democrat either.

Obama has a lot of high hopes to live up to...if he fucks up we are doomed. If things don't get better within the next four years I seriously, seriously will want to become an expat, seriously. If Bush & Cheney end up attacking Iran and declaring Martial Law...I'd leave in a heartbeat. I'm fucking riled up too! Our fucking government is worthless!
