He channeled FDR and JFK, my god, what a speech

[nadinbrzezinski]

That is what needs to happen, and needs to happen often. He needs to talk to the people and short circuit the media

1. I'm a cynical old man, but tears are streaming & I'm not ashamed...

I've never been prouder to be a Democrat and an American! Hooray!

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. I hardly cry over political speeches but was careful to look for signs of

where we are going

And next stop is New Deal II....

Said this before, but this is where we are going

3. Gergen compared him to FDR and LBJ...with the Great Society.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Color me surprised that Gergen would bring Johnson

I'd even bring some of Lincoln, but god darn it, that's too old for most

4. Exactly. n/t

6. I think the code on the flat lined republic is working

7. Let us hope. It certainly looks like it may.

I am still leery of the Nazification/Bushification of the nation but most especially the cirruption of Law Enforcement through Homeland Security lucre. And also, because the Afrikaeners used the much same strategy the Bushies have used to destroy media and law enforcement, then get rid of the Liberal British to create their Apartheid Bushie Paradise.

The question is: is the real playing field here the surface Cable TV politics we are told about, or on a much deeper level in which the Rushpublicans serial behavior as if they don;t need voters is actually because they don't need voters.

I know you understand that. Hell, our shared concern over this formed the basis of our initial onlin friendship.

To me, that is the only question. On the surface, it looks like Obama can't lose. The Rushpuclicans have circled the wagons so tightly and crazily that all they ave left are KKK-types and Hannidiots.

And they might not even have THEM for much longer.

Can you imagine you are a scummy KKK-Bushie, and your Party Establishment is now lead by a a guy who's real name is Piyush and an AFRICAN-AMERICAN like the one you've just been screaming hate at for a year?

Politically, on the surface, it's a horrid move. The Bushies last true base, White Male Christian Authoritarian Racists, are now going to be leaving for Stormfront in droves.

Stormfront is going to get an increase in membership, and the GOP membership is going to decline by about the same number, coincidentally. :rofl:

As I said, if this is all about politics and there's little or none of what we speculated going on beneath the surface, then the Rushpublicans are dooming themselves to a long period in the wilderness.

But I remain concerned that the things that you and I railed against for 8 years are real, to one degree or another, and patiently waiting to pick up where they left off in the tyrannization of America.

Having said that, in either case, yes indeed, we are in nearly the best possible situation to hope for the future of the Old American Republic.
