Four years ago I heard all the same rhetoric. That the far right is desperate and the left is going to come out on top in the ellection, I think we all remember the end result of that race.

Just like four years ago we have a group that dosent mind, even welcomes, more government intrusions on Americans and American business, and we have another group that wants less government intrusion in their lives.

I think there are tons of people who would have LOVED to have the Gov. Agency/Agencies, better enforceing laws that could have stopped the whole
Wall Street mess from happening.

"Goverment intrusions" are not neccesaryly bad things.

I am going to respectfully disagree with you.
