That's the problem with Neo-Liberals in a nutshell Joe, and Obama had the power, charisma, and platform to do MORE...to stand up stronger to these crony, corporate-anarchocapitalist, fascist bastards but they didn't. That's why the bloody election will likely go the GOP direction no matter what. The eternal see-saw of reactionary voters who'd rather blame the current guy, with only a fools hope that the next guy they throw their flippant votes at will actually do what they "promise" to. It's a cycle of history that no one ever learns form.

Eugene Debs ran for president from prison and lost (unfortunately.. I think in his case), but Do we really want to know the answer to the question of how close we could come to actually electing an indicted seditious traitor, who is all but sure to be convicted with the avalanche of incontrovertible evidence that we have against him if the damn trail would hurry up and begin. I should hope not, but something tells me we might get a look at it.
