1. Fox and Murdoch own your money

I dont think Murdoch gives a hoot about parties, it's all about power and money grubbing.

3. A very few corporations are running the Party that controls the government

“Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” -- Benito Mussolini

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” -- Franklin D. Roosevelt

4. sujan is right. Murdoch is completely amoral

he will support whatever party gives him what he wants. Does in the UK and Australia and now the USA. Will even promote a war if it suits him. disgusting

5. Don't forget to include...

...the religious right in who owns the GOP.
