American politics has become an insular bubble, protected by thick walls of hubris and media groupthink. These persons in various parties think they are preachin' to the choir, as they position themselves in an infinite campaign.
Galloway does not live inside that bubble. He sees it from the outside, like so many of us here on DU who are not inside the US. From the outside perspective, the behaviour is obvious, criminal and every so clearly deceptive. In that sense, you're asking the democratic party to wake up to this globalist perspective.
Well then what you're saying, is to peirce the bubble, be it by importing representives of the outside set, or the opinion of the outside set. It is not a way to run for office, as ultimately it must be reflected by the electorate. So there is a conundrum, that to be such an opposition view, is to not be elected, and act merely as a loyal friend speaking the truth... really opposition... and america does not have opposition politics, so it is unrealistic to expect from the party that intends to re-take power when this bush criminality is exposed.
If you wanted to do it right proper like, you'd take a video camera to various countries and hold a town hall meeting with some senior american officials. This would get all the dirt out in public, as those officials face down their detractors... however those very officials, knowing they are behind a criminal consipiracy will not expose themselves... and they did not realize what a mistake it was to charge galloway with their liabellous slander.
That was it... last year it was the debates, and this year, galloway. There is never a point in time when the criminals are forced to take direct responsibility on camera for their behaviour. I can't blame our democrats, like my own representative Schumer, for being silent, as he wants to run for office and won't risk challenging the orthodoxy as it would only get him labelled as a heretic.
However, as a public servant, i do wish some of these guys would indeed step foward to be REAL public servants beyond the bubble, as it won't take much more truth to break the dam... and the dambusters is the way to go.
