Polls continue to show the downward spiral of the major parties. The major parties all have excuses to blame each other for the public disappoint
ment in their "work" to date.
The first person/gro
up to have the courage to "tell it like it is" and propose bold plans that directly and realistica
lly address our major national ills - regardless of the potential of it passing before the next election - will leap ahead of the other. BTW - I think adding an immediate exit from Iraq and Afghanista
n should be added, savings from that disaster help finance plans. Addressing the tax loopholes and corporate welfare problems needs to be in the plan for it to be considered realistic.
Even if the bill can't pass, a large and comprehens
ive one that addresses our main problems becomes the platform for the 2012 election. Those who are for that platform will rise through primaries (at least on the Dem side where candidacie
s aren't nearly as scripted as the rep side) and likely end up in DC.
Under the banner of that plan, 2012 Dem victories can be launched. Without it, the odds of holding or regaining any branch are sharply lower.
This is a "make or break" situation. Leading will win it all. Sadly, the President believes that the process of 'setting the bar low' ("the political realities we have today mean....") is 'leading.' He couldn't be more wrong. I hope he aims big, but I'm certainly not going to hold my breath.
