From about the "Scooter" indictment on, I did something different. I didn't come to DU or any other political forum to engage in any "group think or reaction". And, I did next to nothing in watching the talking heads who are trying to manipulate me more than inform me. I wanted to be just the average slob, getting the average slobs impressions (remember, they don't watch or read one tenth of what we do and incidents happen and are over in a flash for them, etc.). I think I can sense where "the people" are right now. Yep, the corruption of Bush and his cronies IS making a dent (and with the sick of war and sick of gas prices in their minds, they are eager to shit all over the boys in power). BUT, remember that the repukes have painted the Dems as filth personified for years. Thus, the people now look and say "yep, those Repubs are just as dirty as the Dems--who can you trust"? Now, THERE is our challenge. It's great that they are caked in mud but we have to somehow get out the soap and get the slime they have smeared all over us off our body. We have to become the "good guys" or, so help me god, they will go out next election and hold their noses and vote for these scum again.
