I think we are in the midst of a "revolution" right now...

[kentuck]

Both major political Parties are being challenged by external forces, albeit, the Republican Party more obviously so. But both are fighting to maintain control of the establishment.

The vaunted "conservative" movement may be dead after this election? Democratic moderation toward compromise with the Republicans may also be on its deathbed? There are huge challenges to both Parties and nothing short of their survival is at stake.

The odds are that both Parties will walk and talk a lot different once this election is over. In one respect, the revolution is being televised. It is just happening at a pace that we are unable to comprehend and encapsulate.

The "revolution" may already be in motion?

2. good luck clinging to the status quo....

of course, once things change you can always claim to have been for the changes all along...

in the meantime, just keep acquiescing and you'll be fine....
