Until people stop tearing each other apart, nothing is much likely to get done. You don't change someone's political leanings by giving their head a good stomping. It's not the individual that is to blame.
It's an odd thing to watch. I was rooting for the tea party, because it started as a real organization based in the solid beliefs of individuals who were pissed about the bailouts. Then Hannity, Palin and others stepped in to redirect and suddenly all talk of the bailouts was gone. That familiar mantra that "what's good for business is good for the individual" was touted and all talk is now seemingly back on the old course. I figure there are a few people out there with a clear vision, but mostly I see that people are easily manipulated.
One thing Obama has done is completely polarize the majority of the populous against the Democrats. Things are so bad that suddenly Bush is welcome. I see this as an indicator that the next president elect will be the biggest, baddest bastard to have come along yet. I'm guessing it will be Perry from Texas, but who really knows. I'm just positive it will be curtains for all of us.
One thing is for certain, government never relinquishes power.
