I wonder if Carl Rove has figured out a strategy for that one yet? Hard left, moderate right, extreme right, and Tea Party loon hard right. I can't wait to watch that one go down. <br /><br />My only thought about it is that an actual true left liberal would never stand a chance in such an election. Only true liberals are honestly addressing the issues that need to be addressed, and the word liberal has become so tainted by the last 30 years of Republican electioneering (as well as Obama's pitifully coward performance) that they 1.) wouldn't be able to attract any money, and 2.) would be absolutely <i>skewered</i> in the resulting add wars, especially since the courts have basically declared open season for the big corporate money to enter the fray and influence outcomes. I fear that an overtly fascist corporate police state is virtually guaranteed now and right around the corner at that.NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-45405400549083229422010-11-05T11:01:34.107-05:002010-11-05T11:01:34.107-05:00On Dylan Ratigan (MSNBC) yesterday Cenk Uygur (You...On Dylan Ratigan (MSNBC) yesterday Cenk Uygur (Young Turks) and Glen Greenwald (Salon.com) said they would declare war on the White House if Obama agrees to allow the Bush II tax cuts to the 2% wealthy continue.<br /><br />They presumably would try to get a third candidate to run against Obama in 2012 ... they did not have enough time to fully develop the thought.Randyhttp://www.peakoil.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-21830883502341526882010-11-05T10:11:15.276-05:002010-11-05T10:11:15.276-05:00Capitulation really does sum it up. The right'...Capitulation really does sum it up. The right's been demanding it since Obama took office, and the roadkill dems have been more than eager to comply. Not hard to figure out how the next two years are gonna go, is it? <br /><br />I was amused listening to various pundits and pols take on what the election "meant" yesterday, as if anyone is privy to what was going on in the minds of every single voter out there. From what I've heard, the Tea Partiers are at least as pissed at the GOP as they are the spineless dems, so construing some sort of "mandate" out of that would seem to be problematic.<br /><br />As far as dem support - or lack thereof - goes, that's not hard to figure out at all. Young people and true left leaning liberals like myself saw all they needed to see from Obama and the dems in the last two years, and, in my case at least, their support is now gone for good. Until the dems make wholesale, deep, and <i>meaningful</i> changes, I will never vote for or give money to one of them <i>ever</i> again. And <i>that</i> is change you can <i>actually</i> believe in!NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.com
