No need to blame yourself or oneself.

Now that you see the reality-------work to change it. Even a few phone calls of protest to the White House, a letter to the editor, a contribution to your candidates make a difference.

One thing I would suggest is that in politics; however, one must recognize when a candidate is a spoiler candidate who may throw the election to the left.

I.E. Ross Perot whom I truly like was a major factor in losing the election to Clinton. Clinton won by about 43% of the vote.

The people who supported Perot were great people and neighbors; however, they threw the election to Clinton unwittingly.

Rather than recognizing they were the minority in a 3 way race, they should have played hard ball politics and made demands for concessions within the party.

IMO that was the turning point for America to the left and now to Obama.

What I now see is a grassroots movement parallel to that of the Reagan era--------not the same people but with new participants and leaders to compliment the experience of experienced leaders. These are the voters who will make a difference on Nov. 2nds.
