The silent majority is grumbling ... and people forget how big this majority really is. (Don't mention "independents" ... that's another label). Example, 93% of us are not unionized, but you'd think at least half of us would be when you see the hype and the video tapes ... yet there are no video tapes of the MILLIONS at home becoming more and more disgusted with this sort of behavior. The "media" highlights only the very loud and visible "force" that is made up by a surprisingly low percentage of voters ... and the huge numbers of Americans who generally stay silent have awoken. That's what those two recent elections proved.
People didn't vote FOR a Republican ... they voted AGAINST something they are beginning to understand as a threat.
