Now what I saw was not 'debate' it was a mutual backslapping event. At a time when folks are scared, and they are on my twice weekly sales calls to potential clients I actually hear the overtones of fear, this for the first time in 20 years. People are scared no messin'<BR/><BR/>Bottom line from both men I talked to was, 'They are all the same...they don't give a fuck about us...nothing to be done...' for this, this alone, Nancy Pelosi, Schumer, Donna, Howie all the 'leadership' of the 'Democrat' Party should be turned into crow bait.<BR/><BR/>A year ago expectations were running high. My so called 'progressive' friends where excited about the prospects. People thought that change was in the air...on the way.<BR/><BR/>Now we see the fruit of the Obama scam. And it is a Republican influenced, corporatist fifth column assault on the Democratic Party which has succeeded beyond Rove's wildest dreams. With the help of the idiots on the blogs, Kos...Bowers...Marshall...Jeralyn and their vile 'followers' the citizenry no longer believes that this cycle will change a damn thing.<BR/><BR/>That at least is reality. Obama's damage will be limited in that no one is taking him for anything but what he is. A clueless empty suit.<BR/><BR/>Something new will emerge and I hope it will come from the real progressives and working classes, some do wear suits also, and we can clear the dead wood out of the party and the 'sphere. There are plans afoot to do the first. I intend to raise the issue of the second.<BR/><BR/>I call upon Kos, Bowers, Marshall et. al. to STFU! for at least a year. They have proven their utter incompetence and engineering change. Plus....<BR/><BR/>None of them can write their way out of a wet paper bag.<BR/><BR/>As for being a liberal. I ain't I am a progressive in the tradition of Teddy R. and FDR. Our time is coming.<BR/><BR/>The other side has nothing and the Quislings are idiots.<BR/><BR/>The day of the conservative and his parasite the neo-liberal is ending in the wreckage of an economic system run by morons. As the Pareto curve gives way to the L-curve the citizenry is realizing that having an HDTV and beer in the fridge does not make you rich.<BR/><BR/>And further, that under this system neither you nor your descendants ever will be more than debt slaves.<BR/><BR/>This knowledge is starting to sink in and when it ripens the type of fruit it produces will be dependent on us.<BR/><BR/>Real progressives.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729969243960279886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-32099362394647712622008-09-27T12:59:00.000-07:002008-09-27T12:59:00.000-07:00"If you fundamentally believe things are OK in thi..."If you fundamentally believe things are OK in this country, if you don't diverge that much from the substance of your opponent's political approach and think that the real problem is some partisan troublemakers who need to be more argeeable, this is what your politics will look like."<BR/><BR/>I have been amazed this past week at the conversations I have been having with an assortment of people who really know that things are not OK in the country, who are widely divergent from both candidates'/party's political approach to the problems, and who are dying for a troublemaker to get rid of the whole crew in DC. <BR/><BR/>But at the end of these discussions, I then found out that I was actually talking to a conservative republican and we were on the absolutely same page. <BR/><BR/>My eye doctor yesterday. My piano teacher on Wednesday. And we laughed at the end of our discussion when I declare that I am a flaming liberal but they were conservatives. <BR/><BR/>Voters from both parties are hungry for change now - but not the change that the Unity Crew has foisted on us.<BR/><BR/>Today, my darling daughter and I talked and talked about the problems - but we both know the solution. Hillary Clinton. Please come home!Shainzonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885787622541523527noreply@blogger.com
