A democracy needs less stupid ones, and only education fixes that.

"So, WHAT do you offer as a solution?
IF we address this as a Failure Of Leadership (which it IS) to successfully counter the problem posed by this Vacuum,
THEN we can solve the problem.
So far, ALL you have offered is Blaming the TROOPS even harder and more bitterly.
Good Luck with YOUR plan,
because it IS a plan for FAILURE. "
Well Leadership is not a quick fix. Clinton, for all his faults, was a great leader, just not what was needed. What is needed to for the people themselves to take leadership back, to realize that no one, not fdr, not jfk, not LBJ, no one, can do the job for them, but they the need to work throughout the system, starting with the same local elections that the GOP focused on, then work their way to the presidency, with pressue along the way to ensure that even if we hate the person in power, they know they have to do what we want. They want pacs, like form pacs of our own, funded by money we would spend at walmart. Until we learn to think and act AS A MASS, we are screwed. We do not need leaders, we need servants.
I am really trying to be respec tful here, because I do not want to fire on my own people, but do you think third party/protest votes do NOT make the powers that be happy? And frankly, the propblems of Obama were started by Cliton, and his problems are not that he did not act like Clinton, but he continued Bill and Hills policies.
