57. Love To See A PUSH-BACK Mounted By "We The People," But I'm
thinking that even IF there's no Public Option, when ANY Bill is passed, Democrats will be out there using words, or fuzzing up the debate BY USING CERTAIN words, that tells people that THEY REALLY GOT a "good deal!"

They'll be doing a "media blitz" telling all that what was actually passed IS REALLY what the people wanted and needed! They'll use certain buzz words and phrases to do CYA and then go along their merry little way!

Then when the roar dies down, when the "barricades" never get manned, when the people don't really REVOLT, it will just be THE SAME OLE S--T AGAIN!!

We The People Lose!! OUR apathy will let them get away with it over and over as we have for all too many years! Just sit at the PC, blog and complain!

There really has to be a REVOLT by the "lefties" if that's what they want to call us, but WILL IT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN?? As a Boomer, I have always been proud to have at least PROTESTED in a VERY LOUD and relatively effective way, WAY BACK WHEN!

This country has changed over the years and that's not unexpected, but what we can no longer afford or put up with is just sitting back and taking it without REALLY GETTING RILED UP!! It may not change the outcome of the issue, but it just MIGHT make the Blue Dogs and yes... Pelosi, et al take a look at how much we feel they have failed us, when "we the people" worked to give them everything to work with and they still have NO SPINE!!

I'm fully ready to bolt and leave the party because I really don't know what else to do!! I'm SICK of writing, calling and signing petitions... it ain't working and they don't give a S--T, so why try anymore?? Repukes have "birthers" and "deathers" and above all... a "follow their leader UNITY!" We can call them every name in the book, but if in the end THEY still get their way... THEY WIN, WE LOSE!!
