2. You are right. 75% would have been more like it. But I understand there

are many Teabaggers, Neocons, corporatists and libertarians living
in the rural areas, and there are masses of people who have been
fooled by the propaganda and lies of the GOP media.

Still, enough of them have been turned off by the antics of that archetype
of a sociopath, Scott Walker, to say that they will vote against him come
November.

We have to remember that much of this country of ours is being ruled
by criminals. And the present state of our country is the result of having
so many criminals as rulers. They may only represent 1%, but they hold
most of the top positions! And it's the top positions that count. I don't
ever underestimate them.

We have to be ever vigilant and act accordingly in order to make gains.
52% is better than 47%. And there are still 2 months before June 5 to
make more gains.

I sort of have a feeling that as WI goes in June, so will our nation go
in November.

3. That it is only just 52% is a testament to the power of corporate propaganda.

Go out into the countryside and turn on your radio. You get right-wing spin all day long. If you keep repeating a big lie to people, they'll eventually take it as truth because there's nobody else to challenge it.

4. Very true, Selatius. And the Greed Over People party (I read what GOP stands for

in this forum a couple of days ago) owns 90% of the media in this country. It's
plain to see what a massive advantage they have when they turn on their
propaganda and lies. If that is what people hear, that is what most of them
believe!

For the Dems. it's uphill all the way. And uphill we'll go!

And why don't Dems. aim at owning more radio and TV stations, too? Anything
wrong with that?

6. Wouldn't surprise me either. Rasmussen had been pro-GOP slanted for a long time, but lately

the figures they give seem to be more reasonable. I wonder if their change of heart
is real, or are they merely playing games?
