Here's what I'm thinking about November ....


I'll be looking at Election Day as an opportunity to TARGET and knock out more

right wing corporate Republicans.

Won't be looking at November as voting for Democrats --

And, certainly, have no plan to reward Obama or Democrats --



If we keep the PUSH going that we began in 2006 to knock out Republicans, we

might actually put enough Democrats into Congress to create a Congress so full

of Democrats that we will hear no further alibis or excuses from Pres. Obama or

Democrats about being short of votes!


With less Republicans in Congress screwing up things and holding TV press conferences --

I think we'll all be happier . . .


HOWEVER, I'm also keeping in mind that we need to get rid of ALL pro-corporates

-- and that means replacing Democratic corporates with liberal/progressive Democrats --

thereby moving the Democratic Party and national politics to the left.


TARGETING worked for Republicans both against the Democrats as well as in

their own party. At this point they've been so successful in their own party in moving

their moderates and even their right wingers out that it's become a party of near-

psychopaths concentrated on destroying this country for wealthy elites.


I've never considered not-voting an option --

but, obviously, anyone doing that will not remove even one Republican from Congress.

Neither will voting for third paties remove even one Republican from Congress.


Given a lot of lemons, I think we should make lemonade ... as best we can ... !!



:)

The problem with your average Progressive in America is we live in the Real World

Will keep fighting until they put me in the Ground.

and people needed to hit the streets.

And I thought perhaps they don't and we do need to march, but who would you rather march on, Jerry Brown or Meg Whitman?

edit: IOW agreed, K & R
