2. You Would Need Fox News and Freedom Works To Funnel Millions Of Corporate Dollars...
...in the form of free publicity and promotion to have a Democratic equivalent.

But seriously, how are Democrats going to get that kind scratch for a progressive cause?

The equivalent would be:

A retired Nancy Pelosi playing the role of Dick Armey.

MSNBC on steroids with several 2016 Democratic presidential candidates on its payroll ala Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich with a former Democratic strategist playing the roll of Roger Ailes, and a Demorat to reprise the role of Karl Rove. Corporations funneling billions into an astro turf outfit like Freedom Works or the U.S. Chamber of Commerce also funnelling millions attacking progressive causes.

Think about it. Where are the anti-Wall Street Tea Partiers during the financial regulation fight? The corporate masters are not allowing it or providing sponsorship, thus there are no demostrations, rallies or Fox News coverage.
