Cloture senate lost

[Valley Oak]

We have lost the cloture senate and, consequently, any meaningful health care reform in this country for at least another half century. We are all damned.

After a full year in which the democrats held a supermajority, and could have literally passed any legislation they wanted to, at any time.

What will it take for America to wake up? This is not about electing the right candidate, our election process has been completely compromised.

If you will just remember all of those who said the same thing long before your were finally disillusioned, they have not been idle while you still believed in the dinosaur.

Yesterday we had 60 senators. Now we have 100. Two inept parties is at least an incremental improvement over single party government, and it was Independents, not Republicrats that decided last night's results.

This was not opposition to Obama or to healthcare reform. Voters are tired of being told by polls and the media who will win an election, and they are tired of complacency by elected officials who think they know better than the people who elected them. Too much continues to happen behind closed doors and contrary to the will of the majority, (like bailout after bailout to corporations just for being big.) Voters are tired of being ignored. Electing Democrats has not gotten us real change. Electing Brown certainly will not. Sooner or later, more voters will start looking for a third option.

As ridiculous as this might seem, sometimes you have to stop the world before you can get it into a new way. So I propose this as a local effort to do this.

We start a competition for ' The Smartest person in the World '
anyone is invited to declare their candidacy,

Would you be willing to be scrutinized after declaring yourself to be one?

So imagine, this isn't something a physics professor could win unless they had their tears in the mud of the life most are living in.

Mud is good, it grows things but its not good to sleep in.

So along these lines someone would win and then we let them be god

I'm assuming that you all have seen the John/Jane Cusack movie "War, Inc." Brilliant, I thought.

You mean the America where we mandate 40 million more people to buy from these corporations?
