34. I get more & more frustrated with the dems with each page
in this chapter. Makes me wonder if the dems know what the definition of insanity is: Doing the same thing over & over & expecting different results. After reading this chapter, I wonder why anyone would run for office, when almost immediately you either must become a stooge for the party or flounder on your own.

The dem ads are weak. I don't know much about media so I don't have any suggestions to make, but the current course is not winning us elections & after this chapter, I wonder how much the dems really want to win. Oh, I'm sure they want to win, however, they do not want to win by rocking the boat & upsetting the current status quo. They are making out like bandits with this revolving door of candidates, PR consultants, media firms, the DSCC where everyone involved is making bucks, while WE THE PEOPLE get fucked. They are playing it safe & we are losing our country because of them.

In one of his campaigns, Brian Schweitzer held up a copy of a check for mega-bucks that his opponent had received from big-pharma & reminded his constituents who his opponent was really beholden to. I honestly believe if we don't reign in the power & influence of the mega-corps very soon, we will be slaves to them & their human facilitators for a long time to come.
