31. You like being manipulated by the corporate media and bogus polls?
Edited on Sat Sep-25-10 02:02 PM by Radical Activist
Reality is not what some millionaire's newspaper says it is. Meek finished more than 10 points ahead of what any poll predicted in the primary. And you still believe what you're told about who has a chance to win? You want to be fooled twice?
