As the Presidential race tightens, and Congressional Races lean toward the Republicans, we begin to ask why? Why did one relatively poor debate performance swing the race (at least in the polls) so radically to Romney?
Why is Warren now losing to Brown. How in the world can one explain the mess in Missouri.
It is money dear friends. Citizens United is having its intended effect.
It is not easy to "follow the money", but it still can be done.
The Presidential race is mostly even, though Romney is pouring millions into battleground states. The number of donors on the Republican side is small compared to the Democratic side.
That is because most donors for the Democrats are like me, five bucks here, five bucks there.
On the Republican side is is $100,000 here and $100,000 there.
After awhile that is real money. And real influence.
Elections can be bought. Enough money pours out so much propaganda, plus Fox News and 90% of talk radio being owned by conservatives, that the progressive side does not have a chance.
Most people do not read, or study history very much. Most are too busy trying to scratch out a living to do much research...they depend on the T.V. and radio for their information.
And that media is saturated by the far right.
So, propaganda is winning; it usually does.
Read Germany 1932 to 1945 if you want to see what results.
We are doomed.
