HELP! I think I’m addicted to politics, the primaries, and now DU/GD2004!
Edited on Tue Feb-24-04 12:18 PM by MurikanDemocrat
It started with Election 2000... the anticipation of the close election… and then the endless days and nights and drama of the recount. (*gulp* I still have unpleasant flashbacks about the recount) I’ve been a political junkie since then, but always able to work and otherwise function.

Then came the anticipation of the primaries. Another election soon to be upon us ... has it been that long already?? A possible chance to unseat Bush! God I can’t stand that man. I especially can’t stand to listen to him talk.

The Iowa Primary came along, and I’ve been hooked on the Primaries ever since. *sigh* A few weeks before that I began lurking in GD Primary, and about a month ago I took the plunge and joined. Now I spend all my free time reading GD2004. Even that wouldn’t be so bad, but this weekend was just too much. This weekend was all out chaos and warfare, and like a masochist idiot I ended up wasting all day Sunday reading and participating in it. Like who needs this self-flagellation anyway?

And so help me God, I can’t wait for Super Tuesday.

Is there life after Super Tuesday?

Assuming we win the election in November, is there life after GD Elections? LOL!

Do I need to have my head examined, or what??? Is there a 12-step program for this?

I’m only half serious, but really disgusted with myself too for wasting all of Sunday on useless BS. I unplugged Internet access all day Monday to protest myself.

My name is Murikan, and I’m a Democratic Primary junkie.

1. OMG
I was on all day Sunday and stayed off all day yesterday until after 5:00. I was telling my girlfriend how ashamed of myself I was. I thought that it would be OK after Clark got out but here I am back again. One good thing is that I have not gone shopping much so my cc statements look better.

7. Sorry about that. Mentioning his name is like Mary Hart's voice.
In some people, it causes seizures!

:+

If only our candidates could get so much positive media exposure!
