According to several media pundits and their talking points, President Obama is “on the ropes,” and there is a marked “enthusiasm gap” on the Democratic side of things as “apathy” strikes the left heading into the midterm elections. Can anything be done to remedy this sad state of affairs? Democratic strategist Paul Begala attempts to convince a skeptical Stephen Colbert that all is not lost in this clip from Tuesday’s “Colbert Report.”  —KA

And in the meantime…what?  Allow the GOP and the TP to run things?  Are you out of your ever-loving mind?  LOL.

I urge Progressives to think Big Picture and vote only for candidates that support their ideals versus the lesser evil that is now more rightwing that last year.  If we shift to our ideals we may be able to support long term a new people oriented agenda and stop the Democrat Party shift into the latest embodiment of Corporatist Lackey.  You ultimately need to influence the Democrat Party Strategists, that formulates their platform, to shift to a Progressive Program.  If you continue to accept the Lesser Evil only you will continue to drive the Democrats Teaward.  Organize and think Longterm.
