Imagine my surprise in reading the following lead Editorial in Sunday’s
LA Daily News (LA’s #2 rag):
(here)“Anger to Action”
(Excerpts):
“IT took a near meltdown of the economy and the single most naked example of corporate welfare to do it, but the people of America are furious.
“When voters turn out in large numbers, who knows what might happen next? And collectively we can use our numbers to shake up the political class so deeply they won't recover for a few election cycles. Don't like either Barack Obama or John McCain very much right now? Cast a vote for Bob Barr. The Libertarian presidential candidate might be an odd choice, but would surely bring change to the White House.
“Don't like what legislators have legislated? Then vote out incumbents whenever you can. If you're a Democrat, vote for a Republican; if you're Republican, try a Democrat for once. Why not? Could things be much worse?
“Do whatever you can to make sure that the political class stops taking voters for granted. Until the people turn their anger into action at the ballot box, we will continue to get leaders who are disconnected from their constituents.”
Looks like the Daily News is ready to join the SCDS!
