Preaching to the choir...

...is all well and good but it does little to persuade the other side.

Republicans hide from the media in times like this. Democrats tear their lungs out speaking about what the Republicans are doing. Democratic supporters get all fired up and Republicans continue to ignore the entire mess. Nothing really changes.

It would be better to have Republicans on stations like MSNBC so that they could be challenged face-to-face. But they either don't show up or they are not invited?

It's good that Democrats are informed. Now, if we could only inform the Republicans?

Democrats are angry. Republicans are oblivious. This is a problem.
