Reply #49: ThomCat, most Americans are not sheep. They voted this junta out.

But they are suffering a lag time is getting the word on certain things--the fraudulent election system chief among them. And how can you blame them, when the war profiteering corporate news monopolies pull shit like DOCTORING their exit polls? We are reduced almost to a word-of-mouth culture--with the internet acting as our modern "Committees of Correspondence." In this circumstance, of war profiteering corporate news monopolies controlling news and opinion, it takes TIME for the truth to get around. And the failure of our election system--which included the failures of our Democratic Party leadership, of American journalism, of the courts, and of all other checks and balances--is rather mind-boggling, and hard and scary for people to absorb. We just have to keep hammering away, at, 1) the facts about the election SYSTEM, and 2) the obvious wrong results of the election system (a consistent 60% disapproves of Bush and everything he does--so what is he doing as president?). We also need to assure other Americans that THEY ARE NOT ALONE, because this is the most insidious effect of the corporate news monopoly illusion: that the rightwing is the majority. It most certainly is not--which is established by poll after poll after poll after poll, over a long period of time, on Bush/Cheney approval and on the issues.

MSM - mainstream media. Not.

Not, not, NOT the mainstream of this country. Not even close. Narrow fascist view falsely promulgated as "mainstream."
