Since we're not turning this all around by 2012, I prefer we continue to force the elite to make concessions to the masses and keep in the fork-tongued devil we know, who I believe, truly has at least some of our interests at heart, rather than voting in someone who promises a return to traditional values like what happened in Iran, Cuba, Russia, France, Germany, who bought that lie, and what they got was more totalitarism, more extremism, more elitist influences than they had before.

My gut reaction is I agree. Then I think, Maybe if it got bad enough, there's be more protest from the left. I am happy to see the recent grass roots organizing, which I thought we were doomed to see only from the tea party. I don't know what it's like for people who live in other parts of the country, but jobs are very hard to come by here, especially for people who need enough money to support a family. Who's to say that radical organizing can only come from progressives.

The timing concerns me. The OWS movement, which is protesting policies that started under the Republicans, will put forward a "revolutionary" candidate, split the party, and we'll end up with another Republican president.
Obama did not run as a radical. He has always been a firm centrist. The left projected all kinds of stuff onto him that he never embodied. I'm not an apologist for Obama - I've been disappointed too. But I'm also not inclined to romanticize politics -- it's a pragmatic business at best. Heart |
