  Enablers

  Thank you Glenn for your usual wise insight.

  I keep telling Dems they are acting like enablers. In the family of an alcoholic, there always has to be enablers who ignore the bad behavior allowing it to continue. These people live in denial and are often sicker than the alcoholic himself.

  I believe we need to try to get everyone to read this article. That's one thing we can do.

  We also need to throw out incumbents who support these bad policies. The elections are over, but now is the time to start planning for 2010.

  I live in a caucus state that always goes Republican, so I'm working with anti war Ron Paul supporters to get anti war, anti Patriot Act people on the ballot.

  If someone lives in a Dem state, they need to get involved at the caucus or primary level, to get better Dems on the ballot.

  An election is already lost by November. The real key is getting involved with the actual party so better people are put on the ballot for other people to vote for.

  I love what third parties have to say, but the major media won't cover them so they don't stand a chance. What they can do is move into the major party the most closely identify with, and invade the caucus or primary system. That's the key. You have 400 to 800 times the pull at that level.
