Reply #22: What part of "the results are the same" is hard to grasp? [View All]

The same voters who were committed and enthused in '08 were apathetic and disinterested in '10. What changed for them as a result of all their passion in '08? Did the wars stop? Did Wall Street pay for destroying the economy? Did we get a real jobs program? Did health care costs decrease? Did we get more $$ to Main Street for essential needs? Did homeowners get relief? Did wages go up? Did we get labor law reform?

Where anything was done, it was done small and paltry, not enough people were helped, and the power structure remained unaltered. People are not stupid. It is hard to motivate them to perform meaningless acts.
