GOP Setting The Stage For A Truly Radical President Like Santorum, Rubio, Rand Paul et al.

[Demo_Chris]

11. I am a pessimist, but...

Rand Paul isn't going anywhere near the White House. Nor is Santorum.

This is the last hurrah of the GOP and the Christian Right. That's all but done now, even with the gerrymandering issue. Even many in the GOP are not at all accepting of that level of crazy. Our enemy is the 1%. That's who we have to beat. And we have to avoid defeating ourselves.

We have to do something radical and new. It's going to be really freaking tough. But we have to actually PROPOSE and FIGHT FOR meaningful legislation that helps the people. We need to stop defending the bad legislation we have settled for in the past and propose something new.

We need to ditch Obamacare and fight for single payer. If we deliver that we will be in power for the next fity years.

We need to seriously address free trade and bring the jobs back home.

We need to end the wars. Just fucking end them. And end Patriot while we are at it. If terrorists really cared about blowing things up here on a regular basis they already would be doing it. Every now and them one will slip through, but that's life. We have to stop living in terror.

We need to fight for a real ground floor safety net, one that covers everyone at a decent living level, and forget this nonsense about forcing people to find jobs that no longer exist. There are not enough jobs for everyone and there never will be. We can either leave these people to starve or we can take care of them. That's reality. And if it offers some incentive remember this: if someone is going to be forced to starve, the elderly are getting the axe first. It's not like they have allies among young people.

We need to stop with the silly stuff. Stop wasting time on non-starters like gun-control. It's not going to happen in any meaningful way, and while guns are scary to you they just aren't to most. And young people in particular just don't care all that much.
