Possible Directions our Nation could take in the near Future. |
|
The way things look to me at the present moment:
1. If the Neocons should win both houses in November, and also the White House in 2012, this would spell the beginning of the end of democracy in our nation. It would be self-destruct, if the Crazies should take over. Psychopaths can't help behaving the way they do.
2. If the Democrats should win in November and also in 2012, our present shaky type of democracy will continue for a while longer. For me, this alone is a strong enough reason to vote Democratic. Where there is life, there is hope.
3. And what is that hope? Some really good Democratic leaders will be voted into the White House and Congress in 2016. And this could happen only if Obama and the Congressional leaders would change their present weak-spined style of governing. Democrats can't take any more of it. Many have already reached their limit now, and most will have had it by 2016, should there be little or no change -- even if the alternative is self-destruct.
4. This is what I see. Do you agree with the above, or do you see other possibilities?

one of the houses of congress in November, 2010; or losing one or both houses in 2012, but retaining the presidency. Each situation could cause some difference in effect in the whole issue.
