Perhaps the silver lining in all this mess is that the American people are waking up, they are abandoning the MSM for Fox News, they are going to town hall meetings to hold their members of Congress responsible for their actions and even in the most liberal of states are rejecting liberal candidates at the ballot box. More important liberal touchstones like socialized medicine, global warming, appeasement of terrorists an shrinking US power are being seen for the frauds that they are.
Your point about people waking up is critical. They are. I am amazed every day as Democrats I know come around. They are getting it. The Liberal MSM Punditry iss way behind the curve on this.
