Why do our reps and senators not understand that we, and even the benighted fools

[Skidmore]

we call Teabaggers, are all saying "enough" to corruption too. I just heard someone being interviewed on "This Week" on ABC who said that the Egyptian people have taken to saying "enough" when it comes to Mubarak's corrupt government. It seems to me that is what we are also trying to say here. And congress keeps selling itself to the higher bidder thinking that we don't notice. Now we have a new crop of corrupt reps coming up. Teabaggers arrived and discovered the good life in DC. Dems have given power away when it hasn't been sold outright.

1. They understand only when WE STAND 1,000s deep in DC

and before then.
and that is reality.

2. Not only standing but refusing to leave

After the weekend is over. Almost all American Protest in the last ten years have occurred on a Saturday of Sunday and they are gone the next day. These people in Egypt are staying until the job gets done or at least until they are shot at.

3. Exactly!

That is why change happened in the 1960's......5-6 years of repeated steady determined
people staying in the streets.

4. You have a very good point. We protest on weekends and they go

home to relax knowing that we will be gone on Monday. What is to be afraid of in that. I do remember that this was different in the 60s. Hadn't thought about that - we also do not protest in the winter - just the long hot summers when we are comfortable. I am wondering just how dedicated we are?
