Reply #33: The leadership... [View All]

[Q]

...seems like they're trying to disavow the past of the party. They don't WANT to be associated with civil rights or unions or any kind of 'entitlement' program.

Why beg for dollar donations from the 'rabble' when they can wine and dine with industry leaders and lobbyists. When Rupert Murdoch wants to buy up more American radio, television and print markets...he does it the old fashion way: bribes a politician or two or three that can push through legislation to make it happen.

But all the little people have to offer is their vote. Not a very valuable commodity in a nation where millions of votes are 'lost' or not counted at all.
