It is not so much that there are no democratic voices, the problem is that we have to fight a media that is bent on marginalizing any populist or liberal point of view. The Republicans have the support of the rich - who control the media, who make up most of the pundit class, who donate huge sums of money to Bush, who could care less about the majority of Americans.

We have an uphill battle - because we are fighting people that have immense power - not because our ideas are unsound.

It does not help that Daschle is a spineless pimpple that is literally in bed with the airline lobbyists.
