How can we make them care about us? 
 Advertisements [?]They take our votes for granted because they know that our eyes are open to the horrible chasm before us. They know that we will do everything we can to get those little crumbs they occassionally throw our way like a slightly stronger FDA and EPA, or cute little programs for the poor.

I for one intend on continuing to vote Democrat. As Obama has said "The hour is late.", and I don't think that we have time to get the system to complete reform itself by voting for Nader or by staying home.

But how do we get them to listen? They care absolutely nothing for what we say or want. This congress has spent the last two years doing everything it can to advance the Bush agenda. Perhaps because they're completely complicit, or maybe because they want to rile up the "Independents" by just running the country COMPLETELY into the ground first.

I dunno, but either way they're playing politics and they don't even bother playing politics with us. Today they effectively ammended the Bill of Rights in complete opposition to the desires of their base, and even in opposition to many RW'ers. What do we have to do to get a Constitution amendment that guarantees the right to healthcare? What do we have to do to get them to hold our interests higher than the Corporate Oligarchy?

How do we make it happen quickly?

Are we just completely hopelessly lost to Fascism now? Is it over?

Seriously - flame me if you must, but I'm really feeling adrift right now.

6. Oh please. If that was what I was after I would be a Puke
 Most of America wants this war over yesterday, AND wants socialised medicine for starters. Did most of America want huge corporate bailouts with virtually nothing left to help homeowners? Did most of America want warrantless wiretaps and telecom immunity? How about astronomically high credit card rate limits? I could go on... do I need to? 


Speak for yourself loser.

I want the Government to leave me alone, not care about me.

And it also answers the original poster DUmmie's original question, of sorts.  DUmmie who claims to speak for the majority must realize in the back of his peabrain that the idiots who post on DU (on purpose!) are but a small slim insane group of unhinged radicals.

The "war", which doesn't exist, is not a foaming-at-the-mouth issue for normal folks.  If "universal health care" was a popular idea it would already be in force.  

This DUmmie is really asking, "why doesn't my socialist hopes and dreams outweigh common sense?", and "why aren't we a communist nation?  I don't know anyone against the idea."

The Government should never be in the position to "care for" anyone. Especially considering that a government that "cares for you" also "owns your ass" - nothing ever comes for free.

The primitive has ventured too close to reality and found that politicians are not there to make his personal like happy.

Instead of holding his head high and facing life,like a cockroach exposed to the light,he went scurrying back to the safety of the deluded.

Bring it pinhead.  Lets see how far you get.

When is the last time you fired a weapon, you revolutionary crazy person?

You morons couldn't fight your way out of a wet paper sack but you sit around talking about "revolution".  You idiots crack me up.

More fun that would equate to you dying for your cause.

If it is DUmmies self-immolating, the weenies are already there, small and used only on other weenies, but there none the less

FA, to them, "revolution" is not showering for three months, as opposed to the usual one.  (Yep, they're pretty revolting after that.)
