Why doesn't the DNC run INFOMERCIALS?
Seriously. This format successfully sells: vitamins, cosmetics, exercise equipment, real estate ventures, stock trading systems, room purifiers, and a hundred other products.

Why not sell TRUTH in an infomercial format? Some things that are vital to the American public do not fit into 30 or 60 sec segments. Why not do infomercials about:

The need for Universal healthcare

The way we were lied into war

The actual state of our economy

The cost of corruption and cronyism in this Republican administration

The loss of our civil rights and why it matters

The march towards fascism

Election Fraud

What the media does not report

I could honestly think of at least fifty more topics. Why NOT use this time-tested format? Can't we just SELL truth, justice and the American way?

4. Yes, and in very sad circumstances, as I remember.
A great pity, because Troy and Lionel Hutz were two of the most brilliant characters on The Simpsons.

5. If I can see air purifiers on for multiple 30 min segments
spread over a few hours on a number of cable channels - why not Democratic viewpoints on current topics? I am thinking - 10, 20 or 30 minute segments. And why not have the feature of : If you call in the next 10 minutes we will include a one years membership in the ACLU or whatever affinity partnership you want to promote.

Why don't we just get with the program and promote and sell the Democratic viewpoint and bypass the biased newsmedia? Pitch Books, magazines, tapes, tv programs, whatever.

WE ARE THE MAJORITY AND WE DON'T HAVE A VOICE!!-

7. Just show pure, unretouched video of Bush...over and over.
  • The 7 minutes
  • The sixteen words
  • Now watch this drive
  • I'm a loving guy (crying in the Oval office on 9/12/01)
  • Sometimes accounting isn't black and white
  • I'm a war president
