Thursday Quick Fix 6 (11/18/04)

I’ve been doing some thinking about what a new Internet friend said re: this blog: “The endless smack toward non-Bush voters is getting kind of old, don’t you think?” He could be right. Since this blog began in mid-February, the prez race was front and center. And I took no prisoners in supporting Dubya. Believe it or not, however, I’m not 100% Republican. By any means. I want R’s running things nationally because their social agenda isn’t as repugnant as the D’s unabashed support for the slaughter of the innocent unborn. On a state level, however, I’m turned off by the arrogance of the R’s. They’re a law onto themselves. On the local level, it doesn’t matter one iota. Right now, the top item on my agenda is The Duane’s attempt to take over Sherman Avenue. I’ll try to give non-Bush voters a respite — if they behave themselves.
