I think what we're seeing, too, in another sense, is the awakening and angering of America. For too long, politicians have campaigned on lies, but before, we were all economically better off and there were enough folks satisfied with status quos, as opposed to those whose lives and livelihoods were on the line. People who are this angry want to blame someone and *do something*, so they are doing just that now and going to the polls. If a politician doesn't fulfill promises, we'll vote 'em out!! Simple.

It always comes down to whose ox is getting gored. This time, it's not just the GLBTQ's and other "fringe" groups. It's now the everyday "mainstream" American, and large numbers of them. Too many people have lost and are losing too much and this has gotten everyone all fired up...and scared, too. Unemployment can happen to career politicians as well as anyone else now and that's a lot of power!!!

So, if we're lied to, we'll vote 'em out and these crooked politicians are waking up to this fact. It's not just "business/politics as usual" anymore. In Michael Moore's latest film, "Capitalism: A Love Story", he hits the nail on the head when he says that the ONE thing that the Politicians/Ruling Class/ "Have's"/Corporatists fear most is the vote, because there are more of US than there are of them, and nowdays.....we'll use that power.

Yeah. Change.

It has come, indeed.
