I just wish it were more encouraging. It's great that they seem to be "getting it" that standing strong translates into a surge of support (dollars). But as for the rest, it seems to be the same old same old.

On the odd chance that someone "does notice" (as you say), I'll be more specific with what I mean.

It was a nice laundry list of agenda issues, but on a list that long (and boring to the public) they couldn't find room for election reform?!?

We've had 2 stolen elections, with hours-long poll tax lines for poor, minority, Dem voters and none for rich, white, GOP voters. How is this not at the top of the list? Is there something more important of which I'm unaware? Do they imagine the election thieves are going pause for a moment in their well-funded effort to stifle democracy and continue to impose their kinder, gentler fascism?

And while it's high time we got up off the mat on arguing values, this mantra of not dividing the country is just beltway pundit drivel. The country is already divided and the right will work hard to keep it that way. It's what gives their 30 percent the power of 40something (leaving only the last few percent to steal).

Once again we're showing up with a knife to a gun fight.

But this is what you end up with when you spend too much time listening to the pablum of the DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy. You start from the presumption that "disenchantment with the Repubs won't get us there."

Oh, really? Where's the evidence for that? Demonizing us certainly got them where they are, didn't it? It's not like anyone has to do anything except tell the truth to get the job done - they come pre-demonized.

Why don't we try it. Just try it for a little while. Let's actually send the message that we're willing to DO SOMETHING.

There is a Single Step Solution for taking our country back that cuts through all the beltway bush*t.

STEP ONE ..... Impeach and remove the bushkid regime from office ASAP.

That's the plan. All of it. It really is just that simple. It's not like there isn't sufficient grounds, that the majority of the country already agrees with.

Like say, perpetrating The Most Heinous Act of Terrorism in History when the Chicken Littlehawks issued their "mushroom clouds ... in 45 minutes" bomb threat against the American People.

That level of terrorism makes anything 20 guys with boxcutters, or even a "dirty bomb," pale in comparison. And it's irrelevant whether it was for sinister or greedy motives, or just rank incompetence.

And since we're discussing values and standing up for them -- it really is the only patriotic option because anything else ignores THE CORE obstacle to any reality-based solution. Doing anything else just makes one complicit with this continuing catastrophe.

Think they'll notice?
