The Republicans are more efficient because they have more money and hire professionals to perform a lot of tasks and have a better infrastructure. The Democrats have more people who volunteer but organizing a lot part time volunteers is much less efficient. For example, I asked if there was anything I could do to help from home and they couldn't really think of anything. I work from home full time! You can't tell me that with internet connectivity that there aren't things I could do from home. One of the gentleman here is their I/T communications guy and said of course there are things that can be done from home. So if anyone has the skills to help, they ought to look into it.

That's about right. I like what he says about persistence though. I plan for RT to be here after the 2006 elections and beyond. Even if more progressive folks are in office the "vermin" will try to take them down, and I am not going to sit by and let it happen. …vermin and roaches. That’s about right.

Much like trying to rid an old house of vermine and roaches, progress is sometime illusional. With persistence though, eventually we'll be able to flip on a light in a darkened room and see no signs of infestation. Here’s a quote from my dad on taking back congress:
