Just a reminder: We are living in the Citizens United Era.

Du'ers might have steely (& contradictory) BS detectors, but ...

Not wanting to stir up 'Why they voted' stuff again, just a reminder that the playing field has been further titled, and in target seats, more than vanilla lopsided.

1. Citizens United.

And yeah. I think that played a huge role last November.

3. IMO society is polarized over a few key issues, perhaps 30% each side, with remainder seeing no

difference between either party and many refusing to vote because they believe it's a waste of time.

6. My 69 yrs. on this planet tells me you are right.

8. I wonder whether we are going

to have a revolution or a civil war? Either way, an awful lot of people will first have to be pried away from watching 'American Idol', 'Jersey Shore', 'Basketball Wives' or following the misadventures of Charlie Sheen.

10. I'm not a historian but when the gap between the haves & have-nots widens and the % haves approaches

perhaps one tenth of one percent, then inexorable forces are set in motion for the impoverished 99+% to reclaim their stolen natural, inherent, inalienable/unalienable portion of the world's resources.

9. True

There are millions in the USA who care next to nothing about politics and are quite apathetic.
