(15,435 posts)IF you were REALLY interested in finding out WHY he wrote his latest book and the ones preceding it you would understand WHY he wrote them!
I finished reading "Listen Liberal" over Memorial Day week end and still had time to enjoy myself at our place on a lake and celebrate my middle aged daughter's birthday party I planned for her. It was A VERY EASY read jammed full of EXTREMELY essential facts about how THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY got the way it is today. I honestly feel every Democrat should read this book and to take a long HARD look at what the Party has become.
Absolutely full of facts and footnotes that's very well researched and presented in a way that's crystal clear and hard to argue with. HE IS talking about what was ONCE the Democratic Party so telling him to start his own party tells ME a lot about what you don't know.
I DOUBT you'll even give the book a second thought, but "inquisitive minds" sometimes DO REALLY want to know.
Again I say, it's an easy read but so full of REAL information. He's done a masterful job with this book and as always he's able to capture so much reality that makes you think deeply and feel a sense of so much LOST!
YOU are part of The Party that has been changed by the facts in this book!
