On the contrary, time is on the Dems side. In this fast food, instant society where waiting in a bank teller’s line for more than 10 minutes will result in many walking out of the bank to come back later, do you really believe the protesting crowds will be able to persevere? They will grow tired quickly. They will become weary. They will ring the teller bell in protest and expect instant action. When their congressman or senator stalls, patronizes, pretends to listen, they will believe their protests worked. When they realize the opposite is true they will grow tired quickly and leave the bank. There’s just too many other things that occupy their minds. Attention spans are just too limited these days to muster an extended battle. When the going gets tough, Quick, change the channel, I want to watch American Idol now!
