Thread Name: BS: Mass. Senatorial race
Subject: RE: BS: Mass. Senatorial race
Now as for BB's assertion that Obama got more corporate donors during the campaign...

That is not what I said... What I said is that the right wing has since been pumping gobs of money into anti-Obama, anti-health-care refore and anti-Dem ads... Far more than the Dems... Where is all that oney coming from??? I'm seeing 10 to 1 rightwinged ads against healtyh care reform... Sure, Obama can get up everyday and do a speech and what does that get him in terms of equal time in prome time??? 20 seconds on the news compared to 20 anti-health-care-reform ads for the rest of the night??? Then you have tea-baggers out there telling outright lies and getting even more news coverage... I mean, media wise the Dems and progressives don't have the access or that big kettloe of corpoarte money to begin to compete...

Same rssponse to you Sawz... The reason that people in Mass are parroting this "one party" crap is because it has been equally hammered into the parrots in unequal doses...

This really comes down to who has the money to control the "noise" and the folks who have the money are the Boss Hogs and Fat Cats and they are using the stupidest of the stupid who always fall easily for any campaign that pits them against any6one who has bothered to get an education... But now with the incessant media buys they have absoluted drowned out the Dems and Obama with 24/7 hammering... That is why even moderates have fallen victim... Ain't like the average moderate is all that well informed these days 'cause most are out beating their brains out trying to pay their bills and keep their kids in college... They really don't have time that most of the folks here in Mudville have or the story in Mass would be much different...

Tom Jefferson said it would take an informed electorate for democrary to work... One thing for sure is that it ain't workin'... That really is what people are pissed off about... They wanted change and then the corporations and their Babbit-brained followers have pulled out all the stops to stop change and folks are either too stupid or too busy to figure out who gets and deserves the blame...

And in the words of Walter Cronkite, "That's the way it is..."
