We got this far, no need to lose optimism now. |

Some may get tired with the games in Washington and the feeling we're sometimes losing ground but the people are just way ahead of Washington. It's justa a matter of time before they catch up as long we don't lose our optimism and will for change and urge to repair the government systme. Keep the brighter future in the sights as focus then it's only a matter of carving a path on the way there. It seems troublesome now but never forget the ground we have gained sof far, no time to despair now. It was always on the cards there were many more battles ahead even with a new President even with a great man like Kucinich.

2. What ground? So far, all we've gained is an election and a couple of meaningless gestures. n/t |

far things have come. Yeah things are pretty grim right now but that's no call to slow down I'm sure from all I've seen we can work it out, without too many scrapes on the other side.

6. See, that's where you have me confused. There has been a lot done and most of it |
|
precludes improvement, rather it solidifies the bad and ensures that it will continue to become worse.
Maybe you can be a bit more specific in how/what is moving toward the better.

Washington still deludes itself that the people aren't paying attention. Regardless of how DC maybe wanting to resist change it will happen maybe slower than some of outside may wish but it's enevitable. The corrupt politicians will be rode out of town whatever party and honest policy will return it's only time. It's the peoples govenrment folks only need to grab it and own it by vetting every candidate in primaries for single payer, an anti-war leaning and a will to see public owned state run banks. That should cover it. The only thing that can stop all these things is giving up, it has to be a long term plan to restore honest government.

cannot allow for any latency. Like all those clever wingnuts who say the economy collapsed after the election of 2006.
I think 4 months to fix 30 years of essentially conservative doctrine is asking a bit much.
