Americans are not morons....any more than the Brits are morons.

The ordinary folk are just sick of politicians, at last folk are beginning to see what is really happening...and they dont like it.

Unlike the majority on Mudcat, most people in the real world dont have strong political affiliations, they dont see politics in terms of "my team".

The popular movement you see in America is a move away from political spin and hypocrisy....even if this is a move to the right in the short term, it must be good for the country to break the political stranglehold applied by corporatism.

Maybe the powerful are going to have to start listening.
