Do you want a president who fights like hell for the 99%?

129. i agree. i'm talking about democracy-loving americans in general- their organizations and the

major party they use. i know there are many dedicated activists working their asses off spending resources, and that's part of what pisses me off the most- much of those resources are wasted. i've been to a lot of protests the last 25 years and many of them could worked better if they had included those limbaugh stations instead of the state capitols. those are the true headquarters of the GOP. pols dont have to listen to protestors or a lot of their constituents anymore because the 1% can blast the same area with lies from a few blowhards with loud megaphones. much of our activism can be negated by a few blowhards because we don't get in their face in real time while they're creating made to order constituencies for the think tanks, whenever and wherever they need them, nationally or locally.

The rel problem is not just the wingnuts on the right. They ave been aided and abetted by may of the "moderate centrist" politicians who claim to be opposed to the right-wing agenda, and have not been providing a clear alternative to the rantings of Rush beck, et al.

there is no bigger factor in making liberals and liberal ideals "unacceptable" and taking the democratic party rightward than those 1200 stink tank coordinated and unchallenged radio stations, creating that alternate reality.

from who wins primaries to stopping liberal legislation and reforms, evaluating and democratic party performance and composition without factoring in and challenging the right's best weapon is really counterproductive. until the 'left' starts including talk radio in their strategies we're wasting a lot of time.

whatever we do individually, we're allowing the right to beat our reps with a talk radio 2x4 and then we're booing them.
