I am hopeful
Edited on Fri Mar-11-11 07:48 AM by cap
folks in Wisconsin and Indiana while standing up for their rights are slapping the donkey. Not just the Republican legislatures but the Democratic donkey is getting a swift kick in the rear. Labor Unions with their backs up against the wall are fighting back. Other groups are mobilizing to support them. Pizzas are flying through cybesrpace.

People in power have to be noticing the parallels to Egypt and the Middle East. The revolts in the Middle East are really against the neocon nightmare forced on the people by Bush and Co.

We are the change we can believe in. Not our leaders. Us. We have to take it to the streets in order to take it to the polls in November 2012. I predict a Democratic blowout on the state level elections. I think we will see more progressive Democrats in office.

1. I am not for the near term. But I view things not in the changing names
in Washington as much as the names that do not change and also my understanding of non political economics. For example, as unions and their sympathizers have been protesting, the Senate New Democrats Coalition announced their set up for the 112th congress.
