7. Do Anything?
Sadly, Lisa's votes will be indistinguishable from what Joe's would have been. She will continue to vote according to the dictates of the corporate powers. Therefore, she will continue to push for the elimination of the EPA to satisfy the greed of the global polluters; she will continue the theater of "over-turning" the (very Republican, I might add) health insurance reform legislation; she will continue to try to convince all of us that Social Security is a major contributor to the deficit (denying the facts) as another way of further transferring the public largess into the hands of the financial industry; she will push for an extension of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy (ignoring the reality of the adding to the deficit), and she will continue to support these ridiculous illegal, un winnable, insane wars. She will continue, at least through her acquiescence, to support the agenda of the crazy right that goose-steps us into the future.
