YOHABLO, I totally understand your feelings, but we have to realize that a large part of the American public has been expertly pandered to by the Republican machine, which has successfully labeled liberals as those who enable lazy people not to work and raise taxes so that businesses are sending jobs overseas. Or, how about, we're the drug-using old hippies who would rather save some insignificant animal instead of the working people's livelihoods, and, to add insult to injury, liberals don't believe in God! Notice how adept the conservative mouthpieces have become in turning something good into evil, or at best, idiotic.
We need someone who can simply tell the American people why they are voting against their own interests when voting Republican, and be able to soundly counter any false argument the Republicans use to try to sway the voters. The liberal/progressive viewpoint is the best for the common person, but we need the right person or persons to be able to prove it to the people. We can't blame the people for succumbing to the better created Republican rhetoric, and if we can't turn the vast majority of Americans into Democrats during the worst recession since the Great Depression, then when can we? We need to find leaders at the state and federal levels and get them to win in the next primary season. Hopefully, in time, we won't have to settle for Democrat In Name Onlys, and finally get people that really represent the common people, meaning people who are making a lot less than $250,000/yr.
