"why are the Dems shying away from this opportunity?"
That's why we have to go with what we have because we cannot trust them to do the right thing.

“I've severly cut my movie going since that stupid Nat'l Guard trailer started.
Nothing like being propagandized after paying $11 bucks to see something you could enjoy at home for less money (Avatar and similar being exceptions)
Of course, that IS the audience the Guard is hoping to reach.”

“I hate that trailer too! I actually had a loud discussion about it with my 10 year old son the last time it was showing and explained to him that it was a commercial to glamorize the National Guard and make it look like it was the same thing as being in a 'cool' action movie. Then I told him how important serving in the Guard could be, but that if it was something you decided to do, you shouldn't be tricked into it with a commercial. Normally I zip my lip completely when the trailers start, but in this case I didn't really care if I was talking over it.”

“He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse, a charge which is synonymous under Californian law with statutory rape (wikipedia)
A grand jury charged him with rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under fourteen, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor.[als o wikipedia)
But since he didn't "confess" to it, guess the charges just aren't even worth mentioning.”

After reading an entire collection of short stories, i had nothing else to do but watch the creepiness of cnn and hope to get my certificate of dismissal.

“There is no longer any doubt about who has the absolute power to control our goverrnment and it is NOT the voters. The obscene fact is that the big corporations and their lobbyists control our government. Their money has totally corrupted our democracy and will continue to do so until ALL elected representative are mandated to accept NO money from any source other than a set government and media regimen contribution of time and money. ALL corporate money must be banned from corrupting those who are supposed to represent us. To do less is to relegate us to third world standards which is NOT a democracy in other than name. We are not curbing freedom of speech but freedom of control of government and restoring it to the people. There is no other way to restore control of government to the people. The evidence is abundant and everywhere to be seen.”
