Don't. This is the moment when the iron is hot. If the Dims don't rise to the challenge, then so be it. They will get tossed out with the rest of the rubbish. Yeah, that means a time of dislocation and upheaval. And that sucks for most people. But there comes a time...

I know that I look to the Dems more than you or John, but it helps that they exist and are immediate. Having said that, if you could have seen the exchange on the House floor.........well suffice to say the Dems did us proud. They ripped several Republicans a new asshole. In the past few weeks, the Dems have become energized along with the media. It helps that the American public is starting to wake up. I think there is enough there to build on.

We need to build a future that is secure for our children and grandchildren. Now is the time to do it. We have one of those rare opportunities to shape the near future. We are experiencing the same pressures that gave rise to the Grange and Populist movements or the late 1800s. The same pressures that led to the Marxists-Leninists movements in Europe. And those things gave rise to the labor movements and the toppling of the monarchies and the rise of democracy in Europe. We might fail, and odds are against us. But the stakes are high and the payoff is large.

History calls to us.

I couldn't agree more.............there has to be a serious restructuring of American goals and priorities.........and if it means the restructuring of our democracy to better reflect current times, then so be it.
