11. Question: Why doesn't the Dem party have a MACHINE that operates for ALL Dems the way
the GOP has?


The GOP has had this noise and attack machine set up for two decades. It goes after every Dems and protects every Republican.

Why did the Dem party only end up with a Clinton machine that has all the most access to the corporate media but only comes out in any forceful way when a Clinton is running for office?

Throughout 2001 - 2006 the Clintons held their 'machine' back from attacking Bush and the GOP who were smearing the entire Dem party as 'weak on terror' yet there was nothing hitting back. They even let the "clinton to blame for 9-11' meme run its full course and didn't hit back until fall of 2006. Why? Because they don't hit unless a Clinton is running?
