stop feeding the media whore with money for ads
We need to find a better way to get our message out to the real people. While the DNC and Kerry pay for ads we feed the hand that is biting us. They use that money to pay their journalist to go out and report crap on our guys...

Nothing against the known criminals in the WH and cabinet. This is ridiculous

1. Well, part of that is right here
But trying to destroy the media so we can build a new media, might be a little too ambitious for this particular election cycle. We need to take a long term view about it, like the Republicans did. THey just kept chipping away until an entire news network dedicated to their version of the news seemed like it makes sense.

2. actually, this is an interesting idea, could we pick which stations
to place ads with? Would they back down with the negative crap about Kerry/Edwards if we said "we're taking our business elsewhere?"

I'm sure higher ups in the party have thought of that, but I've heard broadcast media stands to make a fortune off the election. Let's tell 'em fine, as long as you're fair.

3. we are giving them jobs and they are using those jobs to say
crap about good wholesome leaders. While letting the criminals get a free pass. They did this to clinton. And they cost the taxpayers a lot of money. The rethugs aren't getting hit with jail sentences like they should ....it is corporations all over...

white collar crime goes scoot free unless she is a female... and blue collar who are stealing to put food on the table....are locked up....white collar steels huge chunks of money like enron... and they live the high life....

this is horrible and getting worse
