So, A Felon And A Guy Who Got His Butt Handed To Him In An Election Walk Into A Bar…

Here’s your punchline:

Tom DeLay and Ken Blackwell have put together the Coalition for a Conservative Majority, which will play a huge and unprecedented role in helping grassroots conservative groups nationwide.

Increasingly, I think this book was just a few years early.

    Grassroots movements have to start from the bottom, that’s why they are called grassroots, cause you can’t get much lower than that.

    You can’t start a grassroots movement from the top, which is the mistake the right has been making over and over again. Perhaps that’s because most of the people who are paying attention enough to want to become activists are liberals. Or if they weren’t liberal before they became political aware, the last few years made them liberals.

    Yeah. Those folks on the right never get actively involved in politics.

    Activists, not merely active. There is a HUGE difference.

    I think the right wing power comes from the rich elites and not from the masses. In this case, it is the rich elites trying to build a grassroots movement from the top. Progressive movements want to bring about change, the people in power obviously benefited from the current system and don’t want change.

    I suppose trashing the process and trying to find new and inventive ways to skew the results is being actively involved in politics.

    Grassroots from the top is astroturf.
