"the public has spoken"

i am so cynical of politicians. my stepdad, who's on city council in his little suburb of birmingham, was highly offended when i confessed this. i was raised a conservative and presently think more like a "liberal". whatever that means. but a liberal can't be pro-life, so i must still be conservative. moderately. oh wait...i oppose the war in iraq. holy hell, which side am i on? this is my problem.

the dems are claiming that there are going to be numerous changes now that they're gaining power of the house. john murtha said this morning in an npr interview that "the public has spoken". we have. and as usual, in all things, we want to see some change. we can't sit still. we love power. but we also hate war. well, some of us do. change, in this case, could probably do us some good. all i have to say is put your money where your mouth is people.

this is a bit off the subject, but you know what would be an interesting political race? barack obama vs. rudy giuliani for pres. 2008. i would certainly have a tough time deciding on which guy to vote for.
