A nasty by-product of the Bush administration

Because Cheney, his puppet Bush, and their minions are so dishonest, so blind, so greedy, and so totally lacking in character, it has become easy for liberals of all stripes to want to do anything to get rid of them or to compensate for them. I am all for that, but I know a price will be paid. A big part of that price will be women's rights and gay rights, which I expect to be shoved aside to some extent in order to tend to "important things." And of course, the suffering of non-humans will remain something only "those animal rights people" are interested in (even Al Gore somehow mangaged to forget about factory farming when he stepped forward with his latest book and film on the environmental crisis).

I could possibly be tempted to vote for a Democratic ticket, but it would have to be some ticket. Two white males would be the kiss of death for me. Now Obama is being pranced around as a likely candidate, but he is unacceptable to me because he does not support all civil rights for gay citizens.

So-called liberals have shown us what cowards (and often, what racist and sexist people) they are in the past six years. I think we can expect more of the same.
