Why I have hope

Lately I've been so disgusted. Shortly after the shutdown. The Media seemed to go into hyper kill the Democrats to bring the Republicans back up mode.They need to keep us even. It opened my eyes big time. I always knew they carried the water for the republicans but this really did it for me. I've been feeling like its all a lost cause, with the third way and all. But today I had a thought. With all this 24/7 media, right wing radio, and fox, blaring in every doctors office, oil change place etc. And still they only have 40 percent of the country, they will have to do better than that. When you think about it, they have gotten a lot of average people to vote against there own best interest, but there are still 50 percent of us that just won't fall for it. They spend millions upon millions to get us to fall for their bs, but still half the country doesn't fall for it. And who do we have , no one, we just pay attention. I finally have hope, if they can buy every channel, and play it in every office all over the country, and still only get half of us, than maybe there is hope.
