Post-election-day bullspunk

You know, I don't expect everyone to be happy about the results, but I do expect people to buckle down and cope.

Waaah, the Republicans are in power. Waaaah! It's a conspiracy! Waaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaah, I should move to Canada!

Yes, yes you should. Please move to Canada. Move there and spare me your noise.

With me, my wife and Jen W., I think you make the fourth fur not to hate Tuesday's results. :P

Actually, that's five. You forgot to count me. ;)

I don't love the results, because I don't see eye-to-eye with the Republicans on a number of issues that I think are important (I'm definately a fan of the independents that run because they tend to reflect my views a lot more closely) but I align with them a lot more than I do the Democratic party. So I definately am not hurt to see the Republicans getting the balance of power shifted to them.

Which is ironic, considering my upbringing on the farm. I mean, when you look back at the history of the party there was a time not so long ago that the Democratic party used to be the party of choice for farmers and "the common people."

Hey, we can start our own club. A very small club. YET ANOTHER FUR FANDOM FACTION! Just what the world needs. :P

I'm not partisan in any ordinary sense. I am just being taxed to pieces, and the rates get higher decade after decade without fail. Gah!

After a brief period of being a no-tax-too-high Democrat (sadly, there aren't many who aren't in that category lately) in college, I'm basically a SMALL-"L" libertarian ... but I vote GOP in many races because that is the best chance of stopping the greatest overall harm to me and my interests.

And yes, a problem with my being GOP is that most Republicans do not cotton to furs ... let alone furs who life-model. I'd say fewer than 5% of furs would call themselves political conservatives ... that fewer than 5% of life models would do so ... and that there are fewer than 10 lawyers who are life models who like anthropomorphic shtuff in the WORLD.

And nine of THEM are gay.

Which makes me a misfit all over the place. :]
