About this listen
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.

Good if your into money trails
This book has good information in it and is well written. Personally I got bored trying to understand the econimics of politics and trying to grasp how the money filters around all the politicians and interest groups. That doesnt mean its not great, its just not my area of expertise and I found it hard to fully take in. The general points do come across well and overall im glad I read (listened to) it. I like his politics and this confirmed that he is smart and knows how the system works and its faults. Id definately vote for him!

Jesse's take on US politics
The title of the book comes from two famously brutal, rival gangs the BLOODS and the CRIPS. And this play on words implies one of the key points which the author repeatedly makes. That America's two party system is as much about the interests of the two main parties as it is about the interests of the American public. Infact he argues that US politics is much more about the interests of the two parties, their incumbent politicians and wealthy special interests than it is about the public who votes for them. There's nothing very controversial or new in making this claim. But the author does an excellent job of reviewing and analysing the facts. And as with all his books he takes what can be quite dry material, condenses it, infuses it with human interest and turns it into a work of literature which is an easy read, though none the less important for being so. For an overview of the state of America's political system and what can be done about it this book is an ideal choice. Well read by Johnny Heller.
