1. Great video! I hope

that we are able to manifest some actual socio-political changes in the years to come. As a country that prides ourselves on our diversity, it is wrong that we relegate so many of our citizens to second class status. Everyday we are denying others their rights because an ever decreasing segment of our population lets out-dated dogmatic fairy tales influence their political beliefs.

We can create change.

EVERYONE GO VOTE TOMORROW~

2. Well done video, but

And, its a big but. He cherry picked the intelligent voices who haven't been paying attention to and haven't formed opinions about the issues he brought up. Great tactic actually, but I bet he came upon some who were very well versed and wouldn't have fit into his expressed scenario. My step daughter and her boyfriend were there. They would have ran rings around his questions so would have ended up on the cutting room floor. Thousands more like them as well.

He does have a point though, there are many people to busy to really pick out the real issues, think for themselves and using critical thinking make their own conclusions.
I just hope they all voted or will vote tomorrow and not for slimy repugthugs... THAT'S my agenda. Do not vote for any republican ever...

3. The GOP eats other, progressives dine on each other. WTF. A positive thing happens and we go looking

for the fly in the ointment and the GOP looks for the unregistered voting commie under the bed. What happened Saturday showed that there are a lot more reasonable people than the press would have you believe and teabaggers think there are. Like Kieth Obermann said in Fridays comment: progressives need to let moderates and disinfranchised Republicans like me have common ground with Democrats. I think it worked fine. And the signs were great. We got to see the teabaggers brought down closer to thier real size. I voted for the President and I know my party will not find a moderate (let alone less than neocon) to run so I will vote for the President's re-election enthusiasticaly.
