Democrat or Republican - Political Flip Coin
$8.50
Political Flip Driven by a desire to capture every conceivable vote, Democrats and Republicans often blur the lines between the two parties, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Committed to their civic responsibility, but bewildered by the lack of a clear choice, voters have long looked for a tool to aid them in their Election Day duty. When the spin speeds up and the rhetoric starts to thicken, the flip of a coin is sometimes the only alternative to indecision. Honoring the American spirit of fair competition, this coin lets voters leave their choice to chance. With a single flip, Americans can now cast their vote with ease, saving precious time at the ballot box. If the coin should somehow land on its edge, voters are encouraged to choose their favorite third party candidate. Featured on the coin's right side is the Republican elephant. The left side is dominated by the Democratic donkey. Minted in a brass alloy, this colorful coin features patriotic enamel accents on both sides.

The American Experience - Democrats
$79.98
It is compelling and breathtaking to ride along the bumpy roads that were layed out for these Presidents through these AMERICAN EXPERIENCE DVD's. David McCullough and PBS are second to none.LBJ's segment is my particular favorite. While men with FDR and JFK's personality could be elected today... the days of men like LBJ... for good or bad... are over. He was way too animated and crude for today's candidate... which makes for wonderful recollections and storytelling found in his DVD.

The Democrats: A Critical History
$16.00
The Democratic party has long been a sort of Venus flytrap of politics for Left Wing movements. God knows how Huey Long got as far as he did. People react with shock at the apparent weakness of the democrats despite a super majority, never realizing, that most of the party doesn't want real reforms in health care, regulation of the Financial markets, Full Employment, the list goes on. There have been a few good ones, but they are the exception.

At times Selfa does go a bit overboard. George McGovern was at least as acceptable a leftist as Ralph Nader, but he is somewhat casually dismissed. The Democratic Socialists of America...well okay they pretty much deserved it for backing Mondale over Jackson when there most prominent member was Ron Dellums? WTF??!!, and FDR....well, he wasn't perfect, but he was decent enough. Overall, some very unpleasant truths for the left are expounded upon throughout the course of the book

Fundamentally what one should take from this book, is that the Dems will never ever do the right thing unless pushed to the limit. They seem to be learning it now, and may ever carry it into midterms. But as the book makes clear, the lessons they learn will inevitably be forgotten when the other Corporate party waves Sarah Palin, or Mike Huckabee, or Mitt Romney in there faces.
