DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans

No More Gangs in Government

By: Jesse Ventura, Dick Russell

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

Length: 9 hrs and 11 mins

Publisher's summary

DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans uncovers the truth about how corporations have bought the American electoral and legislative process through the power of lobbyists, campaign contributions, and political action committees. Using historical details, such as the development of the two-party system and the advent of third-party candidates throughout U.S. history, DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans exposes how the two major parties have allowed corporations, businesses, and politically-motivated wealthy individuals to manipulate elections, bribe elected officials, and silence the average American voter.

Exposing the ineptitude and ganglike mentalities of both parties, Ventura advocates the replacement of the two-party system with a no-party system based on the ideals of our Founding Fathers. As election time rolls around, this is most certainly the book that should be looked to for reforming our electoral system.

Buy Yourself some Influence or Get Screwed

Jesse says. the rich get richer, because they buy themselves the right members of the 2 Gangs, the Republicans and Democrat Party. He has got most of the facts right, but he really does not understand the root cause of all that corruption. We cannot fix the problem by getting rid of the 2 parties or changing to a multiparty system, a la Europe.

While Jesse supports Ron Paul for his push to reign in the Military/Industrial Complex, abolish Foreign Aid and Corporate Welfare; he is opposed to reforming entitlements or reign in excessive Union influence.

What Jesse misses is that starting with Woodrow Wilson, the Federal Government has assumed powers far beyond those enumerated in the Constitution and the only way to cut the corruption is to shrink the Federal Government back to the enumerated powers and return those powers to the States.

I really liked the way the author did not take sides as both parties are to blame for the problems that USA seems to have. As an outsider, it seems strange that you can't find better Presidential candidates out of all your Millions of people in USA

Not too bad

How he backs up his opinion by showing that the founding fathers did not like the two party system.

Any additional comments?

I wish Jesse Ventura did all the narrating.

Best book to open your eyes!!!

If what Jessie has even 10% truth, the USA needs a revolution!!!!! GREAT BOOK to listen too!!!!

NOT A CONSPIRACY

This is a must read for anyone into politics. Jesse's voice gets silenced easily when mainstream media lumps him in with "Conspiracy Theorist" a derogatory word used to silence anyone with willing to lift back the curtain of OZ that is American Politics.

great book

greet book to listen to while cooking and eating . lots to take in .

makes one really think

it made me think a lot about how it seems that we basically have the same government regardless of political party

Stay Woke!

If American listen to this audio book The Revolution would start tomorrow! if you're fed up with our government this book will give you every reason to understand why you should be even more Fed Up.

Interesting but Take with a Grain of Salt

What disappointed you about DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans?

Constant quotes without identification of the leanings of the quoters. I already know the untrustworthiness of the groups like the NYT, so, why would I believe any quotes from them?

How could the performance have been better?

Probably if he had a better book.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Yes, the refreshing part was that he did put both parties in the same boat. I would agree with him that they are co-conspirators in the downfall of our nation, and constitution.
