I think many of the independent/moderates are actually MORE Marxist than the Democrats. They only vote Democrat because the Communist candidates are not yet a viable choice, and they are committed to enhancing their Communist ideals through indoctrination of the unread masses.
Look inside the book THIS TOWN by Mark Liebovich and you'll want to read the entire sleazy story of how corrupt the media is and how much they now influence everything that goes on in congress.
Good point.
