Dem machine runs into ditch...again

We can't blame the Tea Parody for what happened. Here's what i wrote about Susanna Martinez, winning Governor of New Mexico: You half assed, complacent NM Democrats getting the message NOW? Your “machine” has been broken for DECADES! And it’s us POOR folk who are now going to get to suffer! THANKS A LOT, you Starbucks swilling, Prius driving, platitude spouting, boutique foods eating SNOBS!
And whose fault is it? What did the Dems do to educate voters, register the poor, refute the talking points of, or, better yet, REVEAL the Karl Rove machine? A lot of hand wringing and finger pointing, but no real leadership. If we are fat,... it's because we're low income and there's only healthy food for the wealthy. If we are dumb, it is because the privileged keep information as power to themselves. If we are racist, it is because the power elites keep us poor folk fighting for crumbs with each other. Why didn't the Dems address any of that? The Green party does. So, screw your stereotypes about poor folks! THAT attitude COST you this election! WE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS AND WE ARE SUFFERING!

 You can NOT blame the poor if we have been given NO alternatives to reactionary ideologues! The Dems are too concerned with their own privilege and NEVER even TRIED to get in the trenches with us and really help us lift ourselves! And whenever one of us TRIES to work with "liberals," they look down their noses at us because we smoke or don't speak PC or don't know how to do things they take for granted. They ridicule us, mock us and try to shame us into silence. I know this because I LIVE THIS! WE are NOT welcome by the liberal, academic elite! YOU CANNOT BLAME THE VICTIM! That's like hearing a woman was raped and asking, "what was she wearing?" as though she deserved it! Liberals don't WANT us to participate, to vote, to learn; they want to keep the power in their own hands, just like the GOP. We are scared and desperate; the GOP saw that and exploited it, just like they always do! Sometimes, when you're really poor, ALL YOU HAVE is your bible and your gun! The dems did NOTHING to dispel our fear!

because they don't TELL US they're taking them away! THEY tell us they're cutting high fallutin pork, like people paying for psychics and marijuana in broke California with their welfare atm cards, or high speed rail or chipmunk counting research or.....AND they don't tell us about corporate welfare and and and.... AND GO EDUCATE YOURSELF ON POOR PEOPLE! I can barely stay alive; it's not my JOB to educate the elite! WHY must you learn on MY BACK! Jesus! The dink who writes the blog Duke City Fix aboout Albuquerque wrote recently about a poor neighborhood I pass through all the time, and I live 40 miles away and hitch, take the train and ride busses round trip up there for groceries every month. BUt THIS genius, who lives within 5 miles of it, had NEVER seen that neighborhood before, and Is A NATIVE! If so called progressives and liberals don't educate & register poor voters, WHO DO YOU THINK WILL!?!?

And where were the liberals and progressives? A few droll signs at the Jon Stewart rally, mostly mocking the tea parody? And, in his press conference, when asked, Stewart said it wasn't his job to ask people to vote? Only Tony Bennett, after his song, actually said, "vote!" The dems should INVESTIGATE Faux Noise and get it shut the fuck DOWN, but make sure there are REAL JOURNALISTS to fill the gap: not DEM journalists, REAL ones.
