Yes. I do. All your e-mails, tea parties, Liberty groups, whatever don’t mean SQUAT to these people. Only votes. Mao said power comes from the end of a gun, and in a democracy, the only power is in the election.
Then again, I suppose the tea parties - if large enough, and covered by the media, even if only Fox News - can serve to fire up the slumbering voters to (hopefully) vote the 'RATs out of power in 2010. It may have worked somewhat for the election in NJ. We met a LOT of angry "non-political" NJ residents at the 9/12 March on DC (I realize that is only anecdotal evidence).
I guess all we can do at this point is to attempt to delay any health care bill vote in the Senate for as long as possible? The 2010 elections are still too far off to make any difference there unfortunately.
It's looking pretty grim...
