How do you change that? What percent of Americans do you think know what party their representative belongs to? I am really curious.

I agree with Dondilion. "Politics per se is their life blood,
it is big business for them... 24/7 radio, tv and books."


I drive long distances a lot and it seems all one can hear on the AM dial is right wing talking heads. And the stuff they say is so outrageous yet people believe them. Obama is a communist resonates well within that group.
