I'm filled with both disgust and elation at the same time.
On the one hand, disgust at the deliberate attempt to not follow the rules in multiple counties in GA in order to prevent Liberty supporters from participating in the process. Disgust at the mixed message that is sent: We want you, we need you, please help us vote Obama out. . . but only if you do it our way and believe what we believe in.
Disgust at the pitiful attempts by those in power to use everything they have to maintain that power.
Disgust that when dirty tricks are played on Liberty minded individuals it's sweep under the rug, yet when we play by the rules and just outright plainly win with no tricks, we receive a public tongue lashing of the nth degree by a local GOP Chairman:

On the other hand I feel elation.
Elation that while we are mocked and called bullies, arrogant, ignorant, we stay engaged and work to persuade others to our point of view.
Elation that we (as much as I can see) handle ourselves in a professional manner, especially under trying circumstances.
Elation that for the first time in my relatively short life, I feel genuine hope for the future and my children.
Elation that I have found many other like minded individuals who believe as passionately (and sometimes more so) than I do in Liberty.
Elation that a change is in the air and for the first time in a long while, it is a good change.
That ultimately no matter what happens this election cycle, good, decent, men and women of all races, colors and creeds believe in and strive for the message of Liberty. And that ultimately if we aren't able to effect enough change before the whole economic system goes belly-up, good men and women exists to pick up the pieces and start anew.
So while the fight is long and hard. Thank you everyone who has restored in some way my faith and hope in the future. May we keep striving for the long road of Liberty.
