110. Claptrap.
Your assertions are based on nothing more than heresay and subjective, sloppy guessswork. To assert that the elecotrate is "stupid" because they were duped by the corporate media into believing that Sadaam was linked to 9/11 is ludicrous. If any of the candidates formed thier stratagem around this line of logic, how far do you think they would get?

As many in the post have already distinguished: Ill-informed? Yes. Misguided? Yes. Stupid? No.

As this applies to fighting elections, the key is not, as many here have incorrectly assumed, to rub the electorate's nose in its stupidity and assert some kind of right to 'take care' of them for their own good but rather to slant election propaganda to a level the masses can understand

I would submit that the populists among us feel that it's imperative to DO AWAY with the propaganda all together, but then again you may be of another political stripe that supports the use of propaganda in lieu of the truth.
