Reply #12: The reality is that people make the changes [View All]

The only way we're ever going to change the minds of people all over the country is if real people in every part of the country stand up for what they believe in. That has ALWAYS been true. The reason right wing radicals are running the show is because they've intimidated so many people into silence. The only way these sections of the country are going to change is if people find strength in numbers to speak up for common liberal values. Obama is bringing people together to do that.

DUers are always saying that there are more Democrats than Republicans, more people who should be Democrats. Well somebody is finally bringing them all out of the woodwork, and you want to call that drinking the Koolaid. No, the problem is you'd rather drink the bitter poison of cynicism because somebody is doing what you could not, and doing it while saying "jesus" which really pisses you off. That's the problem.
