I agree with soccerdad. And the more I look and read, the more I'm convinced that the electoral process is corrupt. The democrats have allowed the republicans full power now. Their protests and compromises are simply for show. I can only guess that they have put self-interest over what's good for our country. They must be very afraid that the repubs will attack them personally and politically and are not up to the fight. And I'm not sure how many of us would be, with the republican smear machine or worse ready to go into action against any who might actually stand up to their grand plan. I guess this to be the case because it has happened with frightening frequency over the past few years and has been very effective. I was going to call the democrats cowards, and maybe they are, but if you or I were in their shoes and you were looking at potential ruin, would you have the guts to continue? And I think if anyone actually tries to fix the electoral process, and any semblance of an honest election were to threaten those in charge, I think a nice crisis or two might just be created for those special powers to be invoked. I've never been this cynical or despairing of the democratic process in this country before. I am now. I do not think what I've said is off base. I wish it was.
