Groundhogs, some Democrats and Progressives
What I want to do is compare some Democrats and Progressives to the groundhog coming out of his burrow in today’s environment after voting on November 3, 2008 to see how much the world has changed since he last surfaced. He wants to take a look-see.
I want to say the groundhog was so optimistic before he packed up his little burrow with much glee and fanfare anticipating his big move from his borrow out into the wild, blue world; whistling and humming his little groundhog songs he did methodically go about his business.
With him and other groundhogs there was much excitement amongst the various burrows as to how living on land was going to be an exciting new adventure for them and how they were all going to have health care and how their children were going to be highly educated and how they would all have their own homes and two cars in their garages and they would only use their burrows as summer homes without feeling tremors of bombs falling around the world.
They had voted. They were truly excited! They felt they were at last witnessing, “Once upon a time….” Many of them were so highly motivated and voted for the first time in their lives. Many of them worked hard motivating other family members and friends to vote. They knew their votes made a difference. They knew their groundhog votes made a big difference.
The day came for them to all simultaneously emerge from their burrows. With great ceremonial fanfare and festivities and with baggage and furniture in tow, they did pop up from their burrows and were horrified! For they discovered all of them were not going to have health care. They discovered their children were not going to be highly educated as promised and they were not going to have homes with a two car garage because there were not any jobs. They discovered Congress was not groundhog friendly.
It was quicker than the bat of an eye did they all retreat into their burrows to begin the process of un-packing and un-doing other preparations they made anticipating their big move. The only proof of their brief emergence on land were little signs popping up over various landscapes reading, “We are not voting again. Please do not disturb!”
As always,

Groundhog Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 2[1] in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If on the other hand, the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.
