there is hope at last

just when you thought all the good-ness had left the hearts of the men (and women) in washington d.c., here we have a regular citizen, who happens to be republican, but not of the rabid type we've been seeing lately. listen to what he has to say:

I, for one, a moderate Republican who is disgusted with how the right-wing religious nuts have overruled the party, am thrilled with Senator McCain and his working to keep the filibuster and the rights of the minority party. The country is clearly on a downhill course right now with power hungry selfish brats running the White House and both chambers of Congress, using false morality and the ignorance of the religious masses to pass laws that clearly benefit themselves and their corporate sponsors, but have nothing to do with the people. Senator McCain is one of the few elected Republicans who is representing the people, all people, and doing what's right and not acting like a selfish brat. He should be praised for acting like a grown-up and not propagating the 2-word and 3-word expressions so commonly used by the Republicans to dupe the masses ("activist judges", "attack on marriage"). He is one of maybe a dozen Senators left with real character and values, who uses his power for the people and not to propagate his own career. He spends time working on solutions and not spreading lies and catch phrases. He is not a traitor, like some of the ignorant claim, he is truly an American hero.

i'm no big john mccain fan, and i loathe at some of the things he has done in the past. but given that he still stands for what the republican party, like under reagan, used to stand for. i was a republican back then. everybody was, or stoned out. back then, the republican party stood for American values, the ones we cherish even today, and i say we by meaning most of the non-bushites. the followers of george bush jr. are the missing children of rev. moon. in fact, we even had some senators crown rev. moon IN THE SENATE building. don't believe me? listen for yourself. disgusting to say the least. that this would happen in America is of no surprise. that this would happen IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE BUILDING, is of surprise... oh wait, the bushites are in power, aren't they. *flip* so no, there's no surprise there.
