In reply to the discussion: let's be real here about the impact of "you can keep your insurance" [View all]watoos
(7,142 posts)40. I have been trying to get this message out.
It doesn't matter what issue we are talking about, be it health care, immigration, the economy, whatever; Democrats are behind the 8 ball because the M$M is corporate controlled. Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, get it? The M$M will be talking about Benghazi until the end of the 2016 elections. Democratic politicians are afraid of the blowback from the M$M, and rightfully so. It's an uphill battle for the Dems. Thank god for sites like DU. Hopefully the truth will win out in the end. We need to focus on 2014. We need a majority in the House and Senate. Vote 2014.
