Any anti war candidate could clearly address all of the financial and moral issues facing us |
|
and win..in my opinion. The teabaggers and racists hate Obama. Many of us hate the wars and the crisis they have brought to our doorstep and the rampant waste. Obama is going to raise a billion dollars for his campaign which is obscene it itself. BUT, we have the numbers and the vote. Such a revolutionary idea...each one of us gets one vote. What we could do with that if we united in common sense.
Grass roots organizing to buck the disgrace politics has become can be organized via social media. I expect it. Its not just DU that is unhappy with our representatives. It's impossible if its not organized but I anticipate change much like the Arab Spring in Egypt..only by writing in the next president rather than having them herd us into the same corporate reps again. Turning off the tv is the first step to ignoring the herders.
Please dont tell me its not possible. Anything is possible especially now.

2. I do believe Dennis Kucinich has proven this assumption to be in error. |

3. There is no messiah to address 'all ' our issues. |
|
Believing that some 'anti-war' candidate can do everything is foolish and naive, IMO.
A president cannot rule without Congress. He/she cannot sign a bill that Congress has not passed.
