One of the main reasons...IMHO...that we are in the shape we are in is because our government is too corporate controlled.
We have the Republican Party in lockstep with the interests of the wealthy elites while the Democratic Party, too a large degree, does the same. The working class has become expendable and ignored.
Now we have working class Republicans who are told and believe that Obama and the Democrats have gone too "socialist" and "liberal" and we have working class Democrats who understand there hasn't been enough social support from the Federal levels of government. Republicans who will vote out of fear and inspired to "take back the country" while Democrats are now disillusioned, disappointed and leaning towards apathy.
The sad truth is that we need more progressive/liberal representatives and not less. When you strip away party affiliation in Congress you see that the corporate conservatives rule. Wall St gets it's way. The DLC and Blue Dogs have scorched the Democratic Party and now we potentially face a further conservative swing.
This is madness and this madness is encouraged over the radio and TV to a degree that is destroying this country. We face a further escalation of the corporate led M.I.C. and an evisceration of our social safety nets.
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
