Democrats and Americans will NEVER win because of the MEDIA. Period.
The Republicans have absolutely KILLED our country. Yet, they CONTINUE to kick Democrats ass.

Why? Two reasons.

1. The Media. They are the 4th yet unequal branch of our government. They are OWNED not by the Republicans, not by the Democrats... They are owned by the Wealthy in this country.
And they call the shots. They WANT the Democrats to fail. They Want Obama to Fail. They Want the Recovery Bill to fail. Why? Because it is all about the MONEY and the POWER. Democrats,
generally, are for the People. Republicans are the 'fuck you except if you are rich' party.

Our country is dying and the Media gives ALL the freaking air time to KILL the Recovery Bill. They don;t care - they will always have their money to fall back on. Even if it destroys millions
of Americans...

And
2. Our democratic party is absolutely goddamn spineless.

Our first step is to regain the media...if that is even possible.

1. Why should anyone in government...
do anything different, than what they've been doing? Or the media? They suffer no consequences. And most people don't know enough to care.

2. Media is one source of problem
Shut them down, and lets get some new News Media without the need for profit. That's what will fix the problem, tough love for the Corporate owned media, screw them, they have created and allowed the destruction of America for their own greed of profits. Reset and start over, it's easy and will create many new jobs too!

3. There are a lot of people who are not hurt by this bad economy.
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 04:28 PM by county worker
Remember the idea of shrinking the government so it could be drowned in the bathtub. Well the stimulus bill and the Dems could put a halt to the shrinking. Those who are not hurt by the bad economy want to keep things as they are. They will buy up stocks when the market turns around eventually and make a killing as the market grows. Mean while the herd of masses will be culled and graded. All that will be left is those who will work for slave wages.

They are hoping for an economic Katrina.

5. That's why you point out to as many people as possible that the
millionaire media are only interested in saving THEIR paychecks from taxation.

I remember when the most trusted name in the media, Walter Cronkite made 35K a year, and worked his a** off. Not 8 million, 10 million, 15 million or 400 million.
