WHOOMP, there it is.

95. Unfortunately, "Short Term Pain" will = "The Death of the U.S.A."

Eight Years of the Failure Fuhrer ruined this country almost beyond the ability to repair itself. I shudder to think what eight more years of someone WORSE than even Bewsh will bring us, if the exercise is to remove DLCorporatists from our party and get more progressives.

Here's another risk you run with "scorched Earth": V for Vendetta, which is the exact opposite of what we want to happen. We run the risk of the country becoming LESS moderate (let alone liberal, because this government is not even remotely that now) and MORE totalitarian. This scenario is far more likely when you have moneyed interests purchasing government. We know very well, with a vastly uneducated and history-ignorant country such as ours . . . . "It Can Happen Here".

The place to hold "sit ins" are corporate boardrooms. Thousands upon thousands in corporate offices . . . barge in, to hell with security. You're going to tell me that penny-ante non-cop security guards are going to hold back thousands? Are security guards going to shoot us? Sounds far fetched? Workers in . . . I think it was France, I saw this on an Al-Jazeera special once . . . sat in their boardroom with their executives until their labor demands were met.

Shunning Washington where everyone but a scant handful are purchased . . . shouldn't we be on the backs of who's purchasing them instead? This system is corrupted from stem to stern. The heart of the corruption is Corporate America and the wealthy that run it.
