Mostly I stay away from Michael Moore. I would like to say this is because he is way too far to the left for me. The truth is, he makes me uncomfortable in my own skin. Whenever I force myself to read his writings or see his movies, I am forced to re-evaluate everything and re-adjust my value system and yes, I am forced to think. I may not always agree with what he says and I may think that sometimes he is just waaay-out-there, the fact is, I am proud of the fact he is out there doing what he does, slapping us in the face and saying...think about it! Today on his website there is a piece on "Six Ways the Democrats Can Lose the Election."

You might have noticed I have been off the political bandwagon for some time now. There were several reasons for my doing this. It wasn't that I no longer believed Obama was the right man for the job. It was simply Obama's cavings on several important issues that led to my partial disillusion. Mr. Moore's article covers them quite nicely. I truly hope these can be rectified before the election because I am truly afraid of what will happen to those of us who are not wealthy in this country, given four more years of republican control.
