One bite at a time is the way the Republicans should be picked off in this election. Recalls are a one bite. Wisconsin has experienced that with more to come soon. If a Republican wins the presidency it could mean a country totally controlled behind the scenes by greedy money grabbers who care nothing for the end results to our society. Children will grow up unschooled to their potential as the country will gradually lose its potential, as well.
Times are desperate. Those people who will vote for Mickey Mouse (or worse still, Gingrich or Romney) have no real thought to the good of the country. They do not see the overall picture and are the same ones who were swayed to vote for GW with his back yard barbecues and 'folksy' touch. This year it is no longer a reason. Knowledge and understanding of the problems the nation faces has little value. It is that the candidate must have 'fire in his belly', not to be confused with indigestion. (It is sad that the only woman running was experienced by most women as a disgrace to her gender.) .Fire in the belly is not determination but seems to be outrage and anger, such as Gingrich displayed in the last debate. However, one might hope the outrage is not personal narcissistic defensive reaction to injury and pure bullying.
Meanwhile, one of the bites is an attempt to get rid of Citizens United. Admittedly, that is a very large bite. The Occupy movement is another bite which may be bigger than it seems because so many people are behind it. Many organizations are taking bites as well, Move On has been active as one of many groups trying to promote action by strength in numbers. People do not like what has been going on throughout the country within states as well as on a national level. Unfortunately, the many Republican debates have focused only on supportive Republicans to the Republican party. Soon the rest of the country will have their moment in the sun when the media realizes the Republican campaign for candidacy is not the only game in town.
