This is why this coming November is going to be very important, because if Obama gets in again, than that will plant the seeds for a second American revolution down the road which could be the result.
The conundrum is this - we keep relying on the ballot box to fix the ills of the country because conservatives play by the rules. However, in this election, the issue is not a choice between radical leftist candidate A and conservative rightwing candidate B. This year, it appears that the choice will be between candidate A and candidate A-lite. IOW, it's a wash; neither one will alter the course America is currently following.
In addition, we keep hoping that by voting our conscience, we will alter the course of America. And, yet, look at what the past 60 years (for example) have brought us. We know that a huge part of the problem is Congress, but we keep re-electing the same people and sending them back. We have 535 people in Washington who are responsible for the problems America faces and those same 535 people who CREATED these problems all claim that THEY know how to fix them!! So, gullible John and Jane Voter go to the polls to vote for THEIR Congresscritter again, because it isn't THEIR Congresscritter that's screwing up the works, it's EVERYONE ELSE'S Congresscritter!!!
All of which makes the timing of a "second American revolution" rather interesting. If things go as they are currently expected, what difference will it make if we have, shall we say, an "American spring" this summer, or next?? With either of the candidates that we are currently expecting to see on the ballot, the future remains relatively the same. And, that's not good.
