Let it be winner take all.

It's time for Barack Obama to quit being a pussy-footing political moderate. And become what he's portrayed as by the enemy Republicans. A true blue liberal. In his heart, I suspect that's what Obama really is. But he's tried to be conciliatory with Republicans. Meeting them halfway on most issues. In order to get deals done that are somewhat politically palatable to everyone. Obama isn't a winner-take-all guy. He's willing to meet the other side approximately half way. That's the nature of a nice guy. But Republicans are not so nice. One musn't trust a Republican. And if Obama hasn't learned that yet, he's downright stupid. Gullible. Therefore, I want Obama to take on Republicans by pushing for a totally liberal agenda. And by recognizing that if that means class warfare, so be it. After all, that's exactly what Republicans have been waging for decades. By siding with the rich, with big corporations, with Wall Street bankers. Obama must align himself with the poor and the middle class. The underprivileged. Against the filthy rich. Against the millionaires and the billionaires. Against virtually everything that Republicans stand for. And let it be winner take all. Because the political and social liberals and society's long-time downtrodden can win this time. --Jim Broede
