Reply #16: The "Michael Moore/Cindy Sheehan wing of the Democratic Party" consists

[Peace Patriot]

of the great majority of Americans, 58% of whom opposed the Iraq war in Feb. 2003, BEFORE the invasion (didn't trust the Bush Cartel even then), 63% of whom oppose torture "under any circumstances" (May 2004), and the great majority of whom in fact oppose every major Bush policy, foreign and domestic, way up in the 60% to 70% range.

It has been the rather amazing achievement of the war profiteering corporate news monopolies that it has convinced many of the members of this great progressive American majority that they are in the minority, and has been successful in making them feel isolated and alone. They do this by giving minority rightwing views a big trumpet, way out of proportion to their numbers. They also do it by direct and pointed falsehood and malfeasance, such as their doctoring of their own exit polls on everybody's TV screens, late on election day 2004, to make the exit polls (Kerry won) "fit" the results of the Bushite-controlled electronic voting "trade secret," proprietary programming code (Bush won)--thus depriving the American people of major evidence of election fraud (the real exit poll numbers).

But, as we gather strength, exchange information, and get organized to restore democracy in this country, they will end up losing everything, these liars and warmongers. My break with them came a few days after the election--with the help of people like Jonathan Simon, Steven Freeman and DU's TruthIsAll--when I finally realized what they had done to the exit polls--that the numbers they gave us were false. I have ceased believing anything the news monopolies have to say. They have broken faith with me, big time. And I imagine many others have had similar epiphanies at different points, perhaps on different issues. That was mine. If we can't trust them to monitor our elections, and to give us correct numbers, what can we trust them on? Nothing!

Jerks.

So let them prattle on, with their diabolical illusion-creation, and their White House-dictated "talking points." We're on to them! And when we restore our right to vote--county by county, state by state, throwing their infernal election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor'--they will have hell to pay for use of our public airwaves, and for their news monopolies, when they see what proper regulation, conducted by an empowered and re-enfranchised democratic citizenry, looks like!
