Remember when Pat Buchanan said it was a "culture war" and some bristled even within his own party at that extremism? Well he was right and the right is better organized and fired up than what remnants of the left remain.
Hillary and Reid supporting albeit in different forms laws/amendments about flag burning, Hillary with the war and abortion and don't even get me started on Joe Lieberman.
What voice of eloquence and every day speech to not only power up those who feel our democracy is at stake but the person who might believe in health care initiatives, or has concern about job outsourcing and the future of our economy not to mention the future for their children but then votes Republican because of the flag waving patriotic double speak despite the fact that they work possibly at Walmart and have massive debt, exists?
Sadly there is none. The democrats may not have Abramoff in their playing field but their respective lack of "balls" or more any true sense of what is really at stake is to me personally frightening and in the end their need and want of the corporate cash that funds the Beltway and everything within it's confines are just as tarnished and dirty.
In my darker moments I think I might just vote even more radically right because I fear that it might just take the extreme loss of our civil liberties, jobs, and future before citizens finally wake up and fight for anything. But by then I think I’ll take my son and move to Europe which isn’t ideal but at least doesn’t suffer the complete breakdown as yet that we seem headed and besides I never liked jackboots and marching in step.
