Every election, I vote Democratic; hoping that there will always be a balance of power in this country and no one party, faction, belief system or coalition has their ideas imposed on all of us. I have always believed that my political party's point of view should never be the ONLY point of view.

However... the almost rabid efforts of the Republican Party/Tea Party to reverse the progress brought about by the Women's Movement, Anti-War protests, pro-choice legislation, just about anything progressive that ensures the rights of the individual has me very, very nervous. I want to believe in the Democratic Process, but the religious/political right for over the last 2 decades and more has been nearly successful in hijacking that Process.

Be afraid and trust no one.
