Bah Humbug!

Well the results are in. Looks like the right wing really won in these elections. Oh Joy. Democracy has spoken and as usual, people are idiots. My one hope is that there is no "unity" government. It looks to me like the people of Israel want the right, and they should get the right - then lets speak again in a few years. What's amazing is that Kadima, which was an offshoot of the Likud is now viewed as being "left", man they not even in the center. Unbelievable. The people of Israel are obsessed with not being "freiers" (suckers). The proud right wing will stand up to our "enemies" as our country crumbles under special interests and religious bribes. As usual the religious parties will be the winners in the end. Cool, more of our tax dollars to strengthening Yeshivas and settlements. I've had it, I'm officially checking out. I'll leave politics to my betters.

Democracy "alek". Until they change the process, we will constantly be held hostage by the religious parties.
But never fear. With the "stable" political process and the good honest politicians we have, we are sure to have another election in 1 - 2 years.
Maybe by then the people will have smelled the humus.

If it means waiting for people here to get a clue, we have a long wait coming. I suppose we deserve what we get. It's true though Mart - Democracy "alek".
