For middle and lower class America, things are already bad, bad, bad, but the probability is that we ain't seen nothing yet! We already have 2 or 3 jobs just to keep our heads above water, our retirements (national and otherwise) are vanishing, our health care is ceasing to exist, and our children are going to under funded, second class schools.
All this is happening for exactly two reasons: (1.) Bush’s corporate Middle Eastern Oil Wars and (2.) the inevitable results of giving astronomical tax breaks to America's Greek God like elites. The (small) silver lining in all this is that for most people, economic reality trumps political loyalties and the more Americans realize the Bush 4th Reich is breaking their financial backs, is the more they will vote the bum out.
(5.) The Religious Right has shot itself in the foot so many times of late with sexual scandals, that its moral credibility has become comic. It still has a little traction left, but they fit the "give a fool enough rope and he will hang himself" nearly to perfection. From "Dr." First’s disgusting videotape diagnosis of Terri Shiaveo, it has all been down hill.
(6.) Lastly, the Bush/Republican rape of Mother Nature will certainly be seen by history as our country’s lowest hour. Our descendants for millennia to come will hate this administrations guts, since window after window of opportunity is closing to keep our planet from dying. There is so MUCH we could be doing, but these neo Nazis are doing NOTHING, and once again in a politics-transcending way, the tentative evidence is that more and more "Earthling" Americans are realizing that Bush is killing our children's futures and they know that, as always, it's being doing in the name of the his Oil Wars and designer religious insanities. Indeed, in order to speed up the “Last Days” pathology, Bush is aggressively doing everything he can to destroy the Earth -- and many Americans are finally waking up to this fact.
As has been said, you can fool some of the people all of the time, all the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time (the Rove doctrine), and snapping out of foolishness is the lesser of the evils when the alternatives are national bankruptcy and the rape and murder of our one and only planet.
So if Americans keep coming to their senses at the present rate, 2008 should be at least as much better than 2006, as 2006 was better than 2004. Very few bells and whistles, but we’re on a realistic roll and the vast sleeping tiger of American Progressivism is now wide awake!
ps: We also dominate the Internet and know how to use it.
