I am having a hard time figuring out what exactly is real and what is just posturing to keep the Red States interested. The Gay Marriage thing was an obvious ploy and I don't see anything coming out of it anytime soon... I hope! Pure genius... That Karl Rove is amazing at what he does...even though he scares me a great deal.

Do you get the impression that we're all just pawns and we all get ticked off over politics for nothing? I feel like such a puppet most of the time. It seems like a few people set the debate and the rest of us are left to be sheep and make our minds up about things that in the grand scheme of things, really don't matter/relate to 90% of our daily lives??

I'm way too young to be this cynical... )
