8. wow. so that's it? you're willing to let them win?
I'm telling you: the damage to you and other Democrats is much worse in the long term if we don't keep putting decisive pressure on them.

I would be stoked beyond belief if it were able to work. I feel our little circle of activists is just too small at this time to make a difference. I think things have to be radically upsetting to the average joe before it works the way many of us would like...

but bear in mind: I don't want the complete and utter failure of this economy. I just want this holiday season to be a bit dampened. I want people to feel the power of a people scorned. ANd I want to apply strategic economic pressure on the powers who HAVEN"T BEEN LISTENING TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
