Iraq

Well, as most of you know, the last six years has been a very difficult time for us all... Our founding father's ideas on freedom (freedom for gay civil unions, freedom from the "Patriot" Act, the freedom to choose, and the freedom to find cures to diseases, freedom of being unable to leave poverty due to a inadequate minimum wage), separation of church and state (come on, can you really not teach science in schools?), and most importantly checks and balances (the republic's won't run everything) were all merely a story of a lost time... Now, with shift from an anarchical government to one where everyone is represented, it is my hope that there will be less scandals and cover ups, there will never again lose hundreds of millions of tax payer's dollars by illegally giving government contracts to companies without the lowest bid (<cough>, or to those companies in which government officials have conflicting interests), we'll get the troops the equipment that they need to help us get out of Iraq safely, without spawning a new generation of terrorists... We'll be able to make sure that our President doesn't throw away the Geneva conventions just because he thinks it is "a little ambiguous"... We'll be given the opportunity to help reduce pollutants so that our children won't live on a scorched planet... There is new hope that we'll be able to fix our nation's security problems to prevent another terrorist attack... I am not saying Democrats are better than Republicans (I don't have to say it), I am just saying that our country needed some help, and now there is a chance it'll get it... We as a country can finally know that our government is functioning like it was designed... "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"
