A lot of hand wringing over Grayson's loss
How about this for a thought to help you get through the night and into tomorrow.

It looks like Alan Grayson is going to lose his seat in the House. It is a voice we need.
Many here are disheartened with the Democratic Party, with their failure to put up
progressive leaning candidates. How about thinking of Grayson for chairman of the
Democratic National Committee.

Here he could have a bigger voice instead of just one voice. He could help shape the
Democratic party into a party that really could make a difference. He could help find
candidates that would promote the true values that this country was founded on.

Just give it a thought.

3. Either we let the corps take over or we don't
We have to start somewhere. I really do not care what the TPTB want.
It is time to turn this country around and stop the destruction of this country.

4. Using future tense?
Hell, they've taken over since before most folks on DU were born. We really just get Democratic and Republican flavored corporate oligarchy; we get to push for a little social justice and civil liberties, while they get to push in the direction of racism and tax cuts, but always within the bounds set by our corporate masters.
