It becomes clearer to me with each passing day that the only thing that's going to get the attention of millions of voters is going to be their impending arrival in the ranks of the homeless and impoverished.
When the republicans begin their next wave of things like attacks on social security and reducing taxes for the rich - perpetuating the deliberate transfer of wealth from the 99.5% to the 0.5% that has occurred over the last 30 years - conditions in this country will continue to worsen.
At some point along the decline, more voters will realize that there is far less 'wrong' with the poor and the young people (lazy!) and that the problem is the rigged system. I don't see any other way that change will occur. Too many people are still too isolated from pain.
republicans will succeed in bringing us that condition because they succeed regardless of who controls White House. Look for massive spending from koch and all the shadow groups formed by the rich and powerful on congressional races. If they take the Senate, they know they can do whatever they want.
I doubt they will waste their money on romney because they know he has no chance and they know they don't need him given that Obama has proved to be a sp1ne-free pushover so far. Lock the Senate up and browbeat the President into signing off on their priorities (bipartisanship!). Then we can all wait for rock bottom.
