Nancy is one of the best!
Nancy Pelosi is not the problem!
I want to be upbeat about his, but after Nancy, who is there in the Democratic congressional leadership for someone like me (an old liberal white man) to admire?
Well, Al Franken does come to mind, I do like him. Why isn’t he on any of the Sunday shows? Or being interviewed on network news during prime time?
Where is President Obama? Why isn’t he out there? Why doesn’t he say what he really thinks? Is he trying to be polite to the current president? Is this “professional courtesy” at the executive level? If so, Barack, please quit it and get out there, we need you.
Michelle Obama, where are YOU? I don’t mean to be a spoilsport, but isn’t it time for you to get to GET BACK TO WORK TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY? WE NEED YOU NOW!
Let’s see, who else is there? Hmmm. Can’t really think of anybody right now, so lets talk about who they have…
They have Rupert Murdoch, who seems to own about half of all the media. Who do we have?
Oh, we don’t have anybody like that. Too bad I guess. I think we need some billionaires. Bill Gates? Warren Buffet?
Will someone please stand up, the country you made so wealthy needs you NOW to express yourselves and put some money up.
They have the Koch brothers, who do we have? A few Hollywood stars, big whoop.
They have the Mercer family, who do we have? Al Gore, the right wing punching bag?
Oh and guess what the right wing really has:
A STRATEGY.
Democrats and liberals forgot all about having a strategy.
Here is the right wing strategy, in case you forgot:
- Buy the media and put promote your ideas
- Fund right wing spokespeople to spread the message on every media outlet.
- Fund right wing “think tanks” to promote and normalize right wing ideas.
- Fund “grass roots” organizations to spread ideas
- Fund local right wing candidates to get local power
- Fund this that and the other thing to spread the message.
- And so on, you get the idea...
You know, all it takes is money and a strategy to do this, and the willingness to spend years of time.
But that’s why the right own almost all of it now, a very few people at the top decided that they wanted control, so they devised a strategy and followed it, adjusting where necessary.
All the while, the Democrats and liberals are acting like children in a land of grownups.
Perhaps it really is time for a change!
