SIGINT,
While I believe your heart is in the right place I think that your tactics might prove insufficiently subtle or nuanced for a time when we are not in a revolution but engaged in traditional politics, of a sort. If those terms don’t get a rise out of you then hurry to a Dr and get your blood pressure checked. The worst thing you can say about most politicians is that they know the craft of reading the public mood better then they know the meaning of the Constitution. In some cases they really do know better but time and process have sucked them in. If people, not just conservative ideologues, but first people offended by corruption and deceit, get control of the local political machinery, then the party leadership, in both parties, will respond and cast out the influence of the Soros/Kos/Move On/HuffPo extremists.
