13. Surely by now our Dems know they don't get media coverage...so what's up
with that? Like you I thought Howard Dean would be influential in getting good spokespersons on for the Party. But look at who we have...after all this time, it's still Donna Brazille, Harold Ford, Bob Shrum and a few young voices that no one knows who are still too green to be effective.

One does have to wonder if the "two party is one party" system is really the truth of it. One being the Good Cop and the other being Bad Cop but both working for the same police department. It's hard to understand with the growth of the Progressive Internet with fact checking sites like Media Matters and so much background information on issues that we don't have more forceful people speaking out in the media. Instead it still seems much handwringing blaming things on Republican obstruction and keeping eyes on poll numbers that might have a whiff of Bush & Repugs numbers taking a tick back up.

If there had been PUSH BACK against the MSM's lack of reporting, wouldn't we out here have heard about it? Why are they so silent? And, I don't even want to think anymore about how they've lagged behind on voting rights and exposing the past three elections illegalities and frauds with the machines and the Repug Ops. Yet, we still can't even get HAVA revised or a bill to mandate that Americans have the Constitutional RIGHT to vote.

Something is very, very wrong that these issues are not talked about...it's only jobs and healthcare. When the root of the problem is overlooked.
