Hate to tell ya, Ake, but the way I see it it woulodn't matter if the Dems did decide to have a backbone... In their case, they have been out gerrimandered with redistrictin'... Plus, in 90% of all races the canidate with the most money wins...

So, no, the Dems most likely won't be able to do a danged thing...

Unfortunately, what has to happen before the settin' will be right for either the Dems to assert themselves or the Green Party to replace the Dems as a real 2nd party, is not going to be too purdy...

What I have predicted is that Boss Hog will continue to flaunt his new found wealth as the working class stiffs continue to slide backwards... Now you may call this the "Bobert Prediction" but when the Southerners get squeezed too much they will turn the show around... Yeah, Boss Hog only thinks he understands Southern Man....

Yeah, Southern Man, likes his beer. He likes his country music, He likes his flag. He ain't fir abortions... He hates falg burners... But all this is just the fluff that Boss Hog has used as he uses Southern Man but...

...a day will come when Southern Man been squeezed too hard in the wallet. This is the part about what Boss Hog doesn't understand 'cause when Southern Man begins to turn, there won't me 'nuff "I'm sorry's" from Boss Hog to turn it 'round...

You know them million dollar buses that Boss Hog feels real comfy riding thru the South??? They willl become targets and there will be a rash of Boss Hog's killed and buses burned in the South... When that happens, and I very much fell it is heading thast way rapidly, then the country will be ready for a major correction...

But what progressives need to be doing is "stayin' our course" and not let the T-Diverters throw their crap in out path... They know that our message is pro-earth an' pro-human and theirs is based on greed, power and control...

Jus a mattter of time but at least we don't have to change the story, just be patient while perssistent...

Peace

Bobert
