Shift is only temporary???? Where have you been the past eight years?? George Bush pushed this party left with his Ted Kennedy ass kissing education bill, his denying it was amnesty, and refusing to close the borders! This party has gone left his entire term. Just temporary??? I don't think so.
As for 2010 midterm, that is a pipe dream also. America has jumped on the "free stuff", "I want mine", "me, me, me" mentality, the "it's all about me generation" crap. America wants free stuff. With socialism they get their free stuff. By the time the fools wake up and see that free ain't free, it will be too late. America is all about getting the latest "stuff", watching American Idiot on TV, being on the Island, going to the bar, watching the BIG GAME. Look at TV this week, it is WALL TO WALL and nothing else about the damned Super Bowl. It is a football game, nothing else. But, watching on TV, you would think the entire destiny of the planet rides on THE BIG GAME!!! I like football. I have watched it all my life. But, I have yet to reach the point where I will jump off the roof or cry my eyes red because the team I wanted to win, loses. It ain't life and death to me and I live in life and death football country here in Alabama.
Maybe that explains my optimism. I don’t have a TV :-)

The NFL is to the U.S. what the bread and circuses were to Rome. A nice diversion while the country is ruined from within... (You could also include non-stop coverage of celebrities like Britney and Paris in this equation).
Don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate a good football game — I love football! But, it’s true that the majority of Americans have not a clue about what is really going on in Washington, and it’s not like the MSM will report anything without bias any longer. One would have to spend everyday reading proposed bills on the Congressional website to even know what’s being shuffled through (it’s not like our reps read the things...).
UGH... I could go on and on and on... This is truly a sad time for our country, and indeed for the world if the U.S. goes the way of Rome. I fear it may already be too late frankly...
