we need to remove them from power and eliminate their ability to screw over the rest of us.

So, then, tell us how that happens in real-time. Putting the bell on that cat is a great idea, grasshopper.

How about this - we follow the normal political approach of making progress each election and doing what can be done within each cycle?

Your approach sounds great in principle, but you have utterly no realistic way of doing it the way you envision.

following the normal political process...

How’s that worked out so far? Take a good look around at our country, the world?

The normal political process is exactly why we are where we are. As Reagan said Government is the problem.

Politics is the problem.

In the last 100 years we have had two decent presidents - Coolidge and Reagan. The political process is corrupt and broken and the only “political” group that stands for anything right now is the Tea Party and your beloved GOP has already started to marginalize them.

If we continue our current course this is not going to end well. So we have a choice, be bold and do the right thing based on principles and values or...continue the “normal” political approach where we have to compromise our principles, ignore our values and accepts lies. How has that become the “norm”.

Everyone has just become way too comfortable with evil and apathy and now we even call repugnant things “normal”.

And you know it isn’t even about being bold...the American voter just need to find the courage to do the right thing and actually decide they want to stand for something.
