There will certainly be no honeymoon - how can there be when there wasn't
even one good first date? ;-) Because of the Florida situation, he wasn't
even allowed a celebration party. I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but I do
feel sincerely cynical about the whole process in light of everything I've
witnessed the past few months. Although, my cynicism toward politics goes
way back many years in general. Years ago I had a position working as a
public relations/government relations representative for a large government
contractor. The position did have its' share of excitement because I got to
meet many senators, members of congress, a president and some of the more
famous news media personalities. However, the experience was also a huge
eye-opener as to the supposed "goodness" of one party or the other. My
experience showed me that not only were there really bad rats on both sides,
but most of them really seem to be in it for themselves first and foremost,
and not in it for their country, as we have idealistically been encouraged
to believe. I was left with absolutely no illusions after dealing with those
people. Nonetheless, I've always been somewhat of a Pollyanna, so I still
hold out some hope here and there. We have to, don't we?
As for Bush not standing up for Chavez more strongly, that is something that
appears to be angering many Republicans now. Well, they should hold on to
their seats, because the turbulence has just begun!
