Buh Bye GOP
If they do turn "Roe v. Wade", they will cease to be a political force. Ironic, isn't it?

3. You can't go negative forever.
Sooner or later you have to produce a job or a health care program or an economic policy that actually shows progress with the American people. The current strategy of being negative and taking things away, while at the same time labelling the take-away as a positive has a limited shelf life. It's a bait-and-switch and sooner or later, the mark does take notice.

We will never get all of those people who are deluded into voting against their own best interests. We don't need to. We need to get back enough to tip the difference. We also need a press core that pays attention to honest polls and notices when election day comes around and polls don't match results. This is how the fraud will eventually be challenged.

11. They have already in Ohio.
The ballot initiatives are a grassroots movement to make the system work and work honestly. If all the ballot initiatives don't pass this time, I think there will be pressure to try again.

So much of politics is cyclical. I think the wheel is starting to turn again towards people who want a more responsive government. That will never mean that all people everywhere are on the same page. It means enough people will be to actually start to change things.

4. No... the People Will
one way or another. Think outside the box. People are hitting a boiling point. Political parties may be rendered obsolete if the religios/corporate right keeps fucking with our rights.
