Now, the real reason I'm posting this is because of the primitive screen name.
For the longest time, there was a primitive of prominence, the burdened primitive, "Tyler Durden," or something like that. A guy in his late 50s, lived in Michigan. Had a job at an auto-parts store, but lost it during the Granholm Depression up there. Self-proclaimed socialist. Didn't like the Big Zero because the Big Zero was soft on gaiety, and so left Skins's island. Along with the unappellated eohippus, the "Horse with no Name" primitive, one of the most prolific liars ever, on Skins's island.
Suppose the burdened primitive's back?

I'm a Democrat and I'm okay...
I fundraise all night and I fundraise all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the Lavat'ry.
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea.
Sorry, that's a bit how I feel about my party right now. Teddy's gone. Grayson's lost office. Wellstone is but a memory for most and dear Dennis is dismissed as a fringer.
Please, Democrats in Congress and the Senate, grow a spine, stand up and quit being afraid of offending the right wing zealots. PLEASE! We need you now more than ever.

1. Think we have to begin to understand that the GOP is party of NO and Dems party of NO RESPONSE ....
Silence is also an answer --
I'd love to hear a response from the Democrats -- where is it???
Meanwhile, I think we have to look to ourselves -- and to our own bloc of voters for new answers and to create CHANGE.
Two years seems to make things pretty clear -- unless we are trying not to see what's been going on.
It's not up to them -- it's up to us now ... imo.

2. It has always been up to "us."
WE brought Obama into Office just as we brought in Bill, Jimmy and Jack. It seems that each time there was a concerted effort by business (read GOP) that sought to destroy them from day one of their tenure.
Today, the RW have Fox news and talk radio and the table is slanted even more than before. Like Ike said some 6o years ago, "beware the military-industrial complex." Personally, I'm beginning to think it may be too late. They have a strangle hold on our nation and I'm at a loss as to how to make them release their grip.
The banks and insurance companies need to be broken and I don't see that happening anytime soon.
And the LW has CBS, NBC, ACB, CNN, the
New York Times, the
Washington Post, the
Boston Globe, academia, Hollywood, the labor unions, &c., &c., &c......ho-hum.

3. Agree ... it's up to us ....
What's the new plan B then?
Are we going to continue to vote for DLC Dems and New Dems who deliverthis destruction of NEW DEAL safety nets, Social Security, Medicare -- and as Bill did ended 60 years of Welfare Guarantees with a nod from Gore?
It's never too late to act -- when are we going to begin to do that?

4. God, I wish I knew.
It seems the majority of candidates today are only those with major dollars and in it for the money.
I'm feeling pretty helpless in the mess right now.
If this new primitive is in fact the now-gone "Tyler Durden" primitive, again, it shows a lack of imagination, a lack of creativity, among the primitives.
He could have picked a screen-name such as "demninejeep," and then it would've taken decent and civilized people a little bit longer to figure it out.
