Make no mistake: They are going for total control of the government

24. True, but...

Our President, his campaign, and the entire spectacle of messaging we just witnessed in Charlotte demonstrated the main available antidote to that sick flood of cash: Those who define the opponent in a political cage match first can counter all following messaging.

"Lyin' Ryan," Romney as Flip-Flopper-in-Chief, and the whole Corporazi crew of the new skinhead Republican Party are greedy, power hungry toadies belonging to Wall Street. That's already out in the ether, and it's up to us all to ensure it stays out there through every conversation, email, tweet and water cooler chat... . If it becomes "common knowledge" to the 5-6% of the public who are not yet set in concrete which way they will vote (or whether they will vote) that the Corporazis are trying to buy the government, then when the inevitable flood starts, there's a decent chance the size of the flood may turn them off — or, even better yet, anger them.

Finally, we have to do every single thing we can to ensure voting turnout is high, and I mean breaking-the-records high. That's our flood, and the last, best hope we have. We can only save our democracy, you know, through democracy.

It's worth remembering that candidate Obama's 2008 chant was not, "Yes I can." It was "Yes we can!" And we can.
