What an awful place to live
And what a stark difference between the two parties. Here’s Hot Blava on 8/28/08:
But my impression of the DNC? America is a terrible place to live! Everyone is worried about putting food on their tables. Stressed about paying for health care. Frightened and horrified by climate change. Concerned they can’t pay the mortgage next month, or college for their kids. No one is happy, content, relaxed.
How completely, utterly depressing. And not my experience at all–I might live in Happy Valley, but I live in a lower-middle-class neighborhood where many of my friends do not own the houses in which they live. And most of us are pretty happy with life most of the time.
The Democratic view I’m getting doesn’t jive with my reality at all (thank goodness!) I’m telling you, the Republicans better have a more uplifting message next week, or else I’m writing in my father-in-law for president.
