Progressive Daily Beacon was looking in the wrong direction


when they said americans haven't suffered enough that is why Bilbray won.

Bilbray won because the voting is rigged.

Progressive Daily Beacon Opinion Piece

-snip-

What the defeat of Busby says loud and clear is that the American people haven't suffered enough. The Bush-Rove contemporary Republicans aren't just devoid of any meaningful ideas about governing the nation. They are the nation's most incompetent, corrupt, power-mad, shameful, democracy-destroying party in the history of the United States. Yet the people of California's 50th chose these Republicans to represent their interests. They simply haven't suffered enough.

1. There comes a pt where popular sentiment no longer allows rigged elections
When the overwhelming majority is mad and opposed to the current regime, then they cannot steal the election and fool the all the people. But as the writer says, not enough are hurting-yet.

3. When popular sentiment is actually 80% against the war
and they are conscripting children, unemployment is high, wages are going down, prices going up, something has to happen. Historically such things eventually result in a popular action of some type sooner or later. To be generally nonspecific, of course!
