is a liar and a boor, that Kerry is a flip flopper with no accomplishments, that Dean is an unhinged leftist lunatic, that Edwards has no gravitas, that Clark is loathed by many in the military, that Kucinich was the worst mayor in American history....

and that even the liberal media acknowledges that George W. Bush is a straight talking man of unquestioned integrity.

That is.....If I believed what the media wanted me to believe.

1. If you believed the media, you wouldn't know who Kucinich was period.

The goal there was to tear him down and misrepresent his efforts so much that he will always be hung with that title of worst mayor even though it's a manufactured charge.

He was the worst mayor for FASCISTS, but a great mayor for working class Americans and consumers.

4. But you still believe in the American myth
That trumps the media when framing one's perspective. You were brain washed from day one, via mom and dad, teachers, etc.

The media is just making money off your denial.

5. HAHAH...you don't know me very well.
My mother was a Catholic fundamentalist who thought the Pope was a communist - I am an atheist.

My first and greatest political influence was Dennis Kucinich starting in 1972. My priority for any Dem is to be anti-government corruption, and the rest of the issues will follow.

Profitmaking tip: Buy someone for what they know and then sell them for what they THINK they know.

6. Then why so hostile towards the media ... now, in particular?
Fact is, it has *always* been that way.

"Anti-government corruption"? Oh, man ... Give me one example of a governing model that isn't rife with insider collusion and corruption.

7. It was leaning fascist in 80s and 90s, and blatantly fascist since 1998.
