And if this DFH method of peaceful direct action of targeting bad Dems works in stopping the FISA Fiasco of telecom immunity, adnoto will be very mad. -- L.W.M.

Well well well, so that's how you are going to attempt to frame this? 21st century direct action, right? Opening wallets and playing an establishment game of fighting money with money is now considered direct action? So when the Republicans use their vast corporate resources for swiftboat ad campaigns aimed at Barack and Michelle Obama they will just be engaging in some good ole direct action, right?

You are so revolutionary LWM. What would we ever do without you?

Another thing,

To actually get into a position to minimize the influence of money in politics, we have to get people of a mind to do so elected. -- LWM

Yes, I know what you think. I know that is your belief. You are why I fear for the future of this country. Not BushCo, not Pelosi, not Hoyer...YOU.

Please listen to me everyone.... Whether he realizes it or not "LWM" and those who believe as he does are attempting to sell you a lie. He and those like him are doing you as great a disservice as the BushCo's, Pelosi's and Hoyer's. He and his ilk either cannot grasp or refuse to acknowledge that it is the system, as it has been gamed by the corporate/MIC establishment and willing politicians, that is now the root of our problems. LWM wants to work "within" that system to bring about change. How many times have we heard that before? Ask yourself -- how often does that work?

More and better politicians of any stripe are not the answer for two simple reasons. First, we will never be able to elect enough of them all at once to affect serious change in the short term. It will not happen and you all know that. Secondly, because we can not elect enough of them this round, those that we are successful in electing will either be compromised and/or marginalized by the time we are able add to their number with even "more and better." Do you see the "one step forward, two steps back" aspect of it all? You must see it.

There have been people saying and attempting what he proposes for the entirety of our history as a nation. What has been the result? What has been the outcome? You are watching it. You are living it. You are "fighting" it right now. If you follow his lead you and your progeny will be doing it for decades more and your children and their children will end up right where you are now (if they are that lucky). The entire thing has become a vicious cycle of vote and be screwed, vote again and be screwed again...over and over. Voting and hoping is not only unrealistic it is harmful.

The LWM's of this world are not for change. They think they are but they can't grasp that their plan, as shown in the blockquote above, is an absolute fantasy that will bring about little to no change in the long term. He is in effect asking you to believe him or your lying eyes. Don't let him do it to you.

By all means, do go out and vote for who you think is best but do not kid yourself into believing LWM's fantasy. And do not kid yourself into thinking that 3 ad campaigns directed at wayward politicians, who are supposed to be on your side in the first place, is going to have a great impact in the long run. You may win this battle and that would be great but If you truly want change you might as well force the issue with the group of politicians we already have. If you want real change you will have to force the issue at some point so why not now?

I am not advocating or calling for violence here. I am asking that we collectively wake up and take a bodily stand. The only kind of stand that will scare them. The only kind of stand that has a chance.
