OK, the essential differences between prototypical Republican politicians

and their Democratic counterparts are really simple.

It's not necessarily that the Democrats are less likely to bow to the greed merchants.

It's mostly that the Democrats have to violate their traditional principles to do so.

And somehow, the Dems keep making poorer bargains, selling out for much less than the Republicans do.

Case in point--the media. When the Republiocans do the bidding of their corporate masters, they get large contributions and favorable press.

When the Dems sell out, they tend to get the cash, but not the news media acting as a PR cartel for them.

I mean, how corporate does a Dem have to get before Fox stops attacking him?

1. I'm convinced that there are a lot of Dems who do not know how to pro-actively defend their own

principles and their isn't anything, or they aren't listening to anything, to teach them HOW to do that.

You listen to them and constantly and forever hear MISSED opportunities to make strong rhetorical points. Are they stupid? Afraid? or what?
