9. color me NOT impressed
Keep them on OUR side? Really?
If I'm on a side, it is decidedly NOT on the short sited, selfish side of the guys in the video.
Especially that first dude. None of this bothered him till it affected HIS paycheck, HIS town, and HIS son whom he's apparently trying to raise along with his wife (anyone else catch that creepy comment)

Whatever my side is, I think it has a dash more altruism and quite a lot more wisdom than I saw in this video.

You think they're going to be making any wise choices at the voting booth? You think they're going to THINK about important issues facing Americans? That emotional turn away from the regressives is only because they are pissed that it hit home. Emotions go up and down and might very well fade by the time it's needed.

I'm sure we'll see all sorts of new and shiny regressives changing their team as more and more of the nations dis-functionality gets right up in their faces. Sadly though, without the ability to see further, or care further, they won't be of much value and can't be relied on to think about issues until AFTER they hit home. Chances are still high that come election time, they'll vote with the same lack of vision, and the same emotional appeal of a new and shinier conservative.
