Elections & Political Process
Review:Dick Morris and Eileen McGann enjoy an opinion industry based upon bottomless wells of resentment, anger and indignation. But what are we being sold? The last few years provide them with towering dunghills of dumbfounding disappointments, scandalous lies, massive blunders, greed, corruption, cover-ups and outrageously costly governmental decisions that unfortunately have had terrible consequences both at home and abroad. The title and timing of this book are not accidental. We also have serious ... Read more
Review:I almost gave it four stars because Sharyl Attkisson should have included things like the media's coverage of 9/11 (and the evidence that refutes the conclusions shared by the media), but there are so many important things in this book nonetheless that it must be shared so I gave it five stars anyway. It truly is exceptional, and as no book is truly worth five stars, this is my biggest endorsement. Read more
Review:Bill O'Reilly should not be compared to beat journalists in your daily newspaper or news readers on your local TV news. It perplexes me that some have ripped him for not being "objective" in his well-written and thoughtful book. He is a news analyst, and only a journalist in as much as he gathers the pertinent facts before hand. His show is based on a philosophy of vetting out the so-called objective journalism based mainly on talking points. Bill goes out of his way to explain the premise of hi... Read more
Review:I loved listening to the history and how the populist movement wasn’t built overnight. I thought I knew more on this subject but until I listened to BAB I realized I did not know very much. The history of Reagan and all the tipping points in this book are fabulous. Read more
Review:An objective, thoroughly researched biography which provides great insight into LBJ and the times. It provides the reader a psychological understanding of LBJ that helps understand his assent to power and his significant shortcomings. Caro's description of the world of Texas politics is eye opening. His chapter on life before electricity in rural Texas helped me understand the concrete benefits of government programs. Can't wait to read volume II. Read more
Review:I bought the Kindle version and there frankly wasn't much of a story. The pictures were good, but I got nothing about either Mr. Savage or Teddy. Perhaps it was a bad digital copy, but I was disappointed. Read more
Review:A well written book with facts and opinions explained in context of situation. This book made me re-think of a lot of ideas I earlier has about Gandhi. Though, I do not agree with many of his experiments, he does make one believe that his motive after every one of them was finding the truth of things. The universality of compassion towards all beings is infectious. Read more
Review:Read the book not bad. Also read the negative comments about the book before purchasing it. It looked like only about two people who actually rad the book other just weighed in on it with there options with out reading.?sad Read more
Review:I do like Elizabeth Warren and support her drive to protect middle class America so I read through this entire book. It was faster than you might think since the last 40% is just citations for quotes. It is easy to see her passion but I didn't find much new here. The videos of her questions at the Senate hearings over the past year seemed much more to the point. Read more
Review:I like Eric Bolling and the title was enticing, the book was well-reviewed and seemed like a quick read so I thought I'd check it out.
Although it presents some interesting facts, it seems more like a loose collection of examples of corruption. I was hoping for an answer to the question: "Where did today's swamp come from, who/what is the cause, and what can WE do?" Instead, I got some very specific examples of scattered scandals from the 19th century, with seemingly little connection. Plea... Read more
