		<description>&lt;i&gt;Sean D. Martin said:&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Yeah. Those folks on the right never get actively involved in politics.&lt;/i&gt;

I suppose trashing the process and trying to find new and inventive ways to skew the results is being &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;actively&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; involved in politics.

		<description>&quot;Yeah. Those folks on the right never get actively involved in politics.&quot;

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&#039;t want change.

		<description>C.S.Strowbridge: &quot;&lt;i&gt;Perhaps that&#039;s because most of the people who are paying attention enough to want to become activists are liberals.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

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

		<description>Grassroots movements have to start from the bottom, that&#039;s why they are called grassroots, cause you can&#039;t get much lower than that.

You can&#039;t start a grassroots movement from the top, which is the mistake the right has been making over and over again. Perhaps that&#039;s because most of the people who are paying attention enough to want to become activists are liberals. Or if they weren&#039;t liberal before they became political aware, the last few years made them liberals.
