I want to begin this political rant with a reminder than I am not a Republican, I consider myself an Independant.
So, Arlen Spector crossed party lines and became a Democrat yesterday. That gives Democrats a supermajority in the senate and the house. Republicans cannot block any Democratic legislation, period, end of story. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America.
Obviously, i'm not thrilled by this turn of events... I'm scared as hell honestly. Yes, we let untrained monkeys run the country for the last 8 years, and we got ourselves in the worst situation we've seen in 4 decades. But now, the overreaction is to completely remake how our country functions. I really hope, I pray, that everything turns out okay. At the same time, I'm gonna be planning for the zombie apocalypse.
:P
