I’m sick of these people.
The truth is that it isn’t hard for the power brokers with vast sums of money to organize to control only 435 seats in the house and 100 seats in the Senate.
Even PRIMARYING a member will generally result, by the power broker’s design, in half a dozen or more competitors of which half or all are STILL their people.
With only 535 slots to worry about, these people can easily dedicate 1 million bucks to controlling the conversation and the candidates in that particular area.
The only way to overcome such moneyed elitism is with a true movement of people sick of it. A true movement could overturn the House in just 2 years. Replace them all. They are all suspect.
congratulations...
you have just arrived where I arrived during the second term of bushie....
we can control the numbers...
we can force them to listen to us..
but, it is a difficult road that ends in the number 15...
the vote right now is damn close to a dead wash, plus or minus 5 percentage points...
now if suddenly 15 to 30 percent went to independent candidates... well...
that throws the entire electoral process into the scrap heap..
now these here people actually NEED our votes...
and this is only the beginning...
music is math, life is math and politics is math...
put the math to work in your favor..
