Critical Mass?
We've analyzed polls, we've critiqued ads, and we've speculated on local races and the national situation. As progressive activists, we have given a lot of time, money, and thought to this election cycle.
Flashes of Republican election fraud, smear campaigns, disenfranchisement tactics of all manner, and just plain lies are no doubt swirling about the progressive consciousness now, with less than twelve hours to go before the polls open.
And the latest salvo of GOP robo-calls is a fitting way in which they will close their campaigns—in a panic, shedding their last scraps of integrity, stealing whatever they can.
No matter the results, though, even the mainstream media can't deny this: The American people are waking up. Iraq is a disaster and we should get out. Gay marriage is a red herring in the political landscape, and it doesn't actually threaten anyone else's marriage.
George W. Bush isn't “plain spoken,” he just has the vocabulary of a third-grader. “Stay[ing] the course” to the exclusion of reason and common sense isn't being resolute, it's being idiotically, dementedly stubborn.
It may have taken too long, but truth is beginning leak all over the place, scandal after GOP scandal, indictment after indictment, investigation after investigation. How many more disgraced Republican congressmen--and their henchmen--does this country need to see before the current cabal is ousted? I hope we as a nation have finally reached critical mass.
