...but I think most politicians are terrified of candidates like Sheehan. If ordinary citizens begin winning elections, then this threatens the status quo.
Barbara Boxer has done a lot for us. I'll never forget her fight on the legitimacy of the 04 election. However, I don't see ANY Dem standing up (including Boxer) and speaking out against the PNAC plan and Bush corruption, as much as they should. True progressives should be putting the smack down on a daily basis. Our democracy is in the cross hairs and this is a very serious situation. I'm not saying Boxer hasn't done good things.
It seems like Boxer is just helping out a fellow CA politician. As much as Boxer is truly on our side on most issues, I think she's a politician first and she's attempting to appease one of her colleagues.
It seems as if most politicians these days, prefer the status quo. I'm tired of feeling like they're all in cahoots.
In my opinion, if Sheehan--and other progressives become powerful and offer an attractive alternative to the current corruption--that threatens the entire system. Sheehan is an outsider. She's not a politician. If she runs and wins, that could start a chain reaction of non-politicians who gain power and truly revolutionize DC.
God knows we need it. We need to replace 99 percent of them with average, decent people.
