There are an unending list of law-breakers out there. The feds have to choose their priorities every day. And all of the states that allow it for medical use are in conflict with federal law, but the DOJ was ordered to stand down on that issue. How about focusing on illegal immigration, drug smuggling, drunk driving, and jaywalkers and quit worrying about recreational pot use.
For my part, I'm happy has a clam about the outcome, although I wish Steve King and Michele Bachmann had been ousted, and I hope the president uses the next few months to kick ass and take names and cram some changes down the throats of the obstructionists. It won't be pretty, but it's probably the only way the things both sides want done (but won't agree to because of politics) can happen. And if it's done now some of it will be forgotten by the next election day.
And I hope to get involved with
www.nolabels.org and want to really start pushing for these brilliant ideas to get enacted.
But to those of you who feel like the end of the world is nigh, trust me, you'll be fine. After Bush was elected the first time I made it my life's mission to make sure he wasn't re-elected. And then he won again. And the sun came up the next day and life went on. My suggestion is start kicking and screaming to get religion out of your party so you can focus on the economic issues that have always been the backbone of Republicanism. I'm convinced I'd have been on the losing end of this election but for the (my favorite phrase from last night) whackadoodle caucus of the Republican party. I am confident that the majority of Republicans are not crazy, but sane will lose if crazy is allowed to keep controlling the conversation.
