Its amazing what you didn't miss when you stay away from the media for a weekend. I was completely void of any news this entire weekend. I didn't read any blogs, watch any TV, or read any newspapers. I wasn't exposed to any top of the hour news breaks on the radio, because in Denver there are not any sports of interest to the masses during the summer (the Rockies suck). I do know that the first lady got heckled somewhere becuase it was AOL's top news story when I logged on to check e-mail. Typical! Anyhow, it was a nice change. I'll bet I can tell you what I missed. Absolutely nothing. The constitutional option is still going to happen and the republicans still have the votes. All the hype and spin I missed this weekend is just that. The Republicans are in power now and the base is not going to tollerate a weak response to weak democrats. If your name has an (r) next to it, you better vote the party line this time. The election on 2004 was about Judges. We canned the cheif obstructionist (Daschel) and we will can you if you can not deliver the vote. We want our Judges and we expect the loser democrats to get out of the way. If they refuse to move, the men in power better have the spine to make them move. I have faith in my elected officials to do the right thing. I believe my elected officials understand that this is a watershed event. With the constitutional option we can once and for all bring democrats to the realization they are losers and will continue to be beaten down. They will be foced to shutup and get out of the way.
