This is why there is no Democratic equivalent of Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, no endless drumbeat of hate speech pounding across the flyover states 24/7, no incessant wails of fear, racism, hatred of Other. Liberal ideology prohibits such harsh machinery. The Dems are the party of the smart, the city, the college-educated, the critical thinker. Nearly every major metropolis votes blue, and every significant college town, and scientist, and artist, and creative entrepreneur.

You are right Truman.

Ironically, another Truman saw the same thing and tried to warn us 66 years ago. And he was speaking about a Republican party that was much more centrist than today's far right GOP.

"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They approve of social security benefits-so much so that they took them away from almost a million people. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They believe in international trade--so much so that they crippled our reciprocal trade program, and killed our International Wheat Agreement. They favor the admission of displaced persons--but only within shameful racial and religious limitations.They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They say TVA is wonderful--but we ought never to try it again. They condemn "cruelly high prices"--but fight to the death every effort to bring them down. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."
President Harry S. Truman - October 13, 1948

"No Democrat version of Fox News..."

MSNBC comes quickly to mind.

Of course, but only for the mindless...

"Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox. And this balance here has been completely reversed. The thing that sustains a strong Fox network is the thing that undermines a strong Republican party."

need a tissue or a tampon.

socialist talk show hosts fail in a market driven reality

MSNBC is worse than fox and the MSM are all Obama FLUFFERS

DEMS are the party of NEEDY children who are ruled by Dem elites who use the votes of the needy to gain the power and wealth those elites have usually failed to obtain in the private sector

ideas didn't lose. nobody was offering any.

That's part of the problem (to the OP). The Free Market. I remember "liberal" talk radio. Lasted what? 6 months? Lost all their sponsors and shut down. Nobody wants to listen to that garbage......especially that Jeanne Garofalo broad.....

was it really? didn't we just move from one form of dysfunctional congress to another? what's actually going to change?

you're right, nobody wants to listen to it... the question you should be asking though is why? clearly there are enough liberals to support it, why is it that conservatives are willing to listen to host after host parrot the same talking points, nodding their heads in agreement, and liberals are not willing to do the same thing?

Allow me to explain. There will be NO Harry Reid. No bills (from the House) laying around in his office floor. 343 of them (at last count). The House will send a bill to the Senate and it will be voted on - sounds strange doesn't it? Bills ACTUALLY BEING VOTED ON?? it will then be sent to the White House where this "so-called" President will have to sign them or veto them.

I know that it might be hard to comprehend this - but THAT'S THE WAY GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY WORKS.

The other good thing about it is that the democrats will now have to go on the public record with their VOTES (see, for the last 6 years, democrat Senators have RARELY had to do that - no bills to vote on - Thanks Harry!!) So, it will be clear in 2016 exactly how WORTHLESS your party has become!! YAY!!!

That is all. Class Dismissed.

The democrat party is the party of narcissistic self absorbed egotists.

Eh? The egotists aren't the problem, its the collectivist/sheep candidates and voters that follow them. Leave a trail of beans and they follow.

If the Democrats had more egotists they would win more elections, instead they have career politicians that don't have any ideas of their own - and just get them from further up the chain.
