44. Behaving in a way that leads to the election of republicans will set progressive causes
back. In some states, way back. The aspect that turns my head is the belief by progressives that getting republicans elected will cause voters to become repulsed. Recent circumstances in Wisconsin, Paul Ryan's budget, Rick Scott in Florida, Kasich in Ohio and Snyder in Michigan seem to give credence to the progressive view. But what of the far more numerous stealth republicans that are damaging town and city halls, state governments and Congress? If republicans step back from their over reach, the party will be able to work toward it's goal of gutting the poor and middle class. Keep dreaming that a Paul Ryan will come along to maybe change election results, keep dreaming that. When you wake from that dream your goals for society will be father away from realization.
