Let us be realistic, ladies and gentlemen. Suppose Romney wore a Swaztika to a rally TOMORROW

13. Seems like a good formula

But, after decades of cultivating hate for people who have anything to do with government assistance, I find it difficult to believe that some of the people who need it most would respond. So many people are blind with anger and the best measure we have is the lack of outrage at the 47% comment.

From my experiences talking to people who are middle class and below, I really believe that anger at banksters and wall st. has been redirected toward anyone who fits the stereotype that has been identified by mitt and the republicans for decades. What better way to pay the spite forward than to support someone who they know will screw people less fortunate, whose lives seem not to have changed as much over. See, some of the elderly and disabled didn't have as much to lose and therefore have weathered this thing out better than middle class. We are the obvious targets.

This is a totally different time. We can't undo the damage republicans have done to the American psyche. Even if it was present after the depression, it could not be mobilized the way it can be now. Hate can be organized and mobilized in today's world. I also do think there were more people who cared about their neighbors than there are now. Thus FDR's 4 terms.
I don't know what the solutions are, but I think it will take more creativity and possibly more time before people will accept anything resembling what we saw succeed in the past.
