Reply #11: Maybe it will help if we start with what we know

I do not disagree with what you've said, the questions must be asked and answered. But one thing sticks out in my mind. No matter what the cause of today's situation we do know what it takes to get voters out in mass, that is a failure as obvious and odious as the Bush Administration proved to be. I am not suggesting that it has to get quite that bad again to bring out sensibility in voters either. But back to your point, that the question must be asked, I agree with that completely because I am certain that the nation can not withstand a takeover of Government by today's "Republicans."
