Is there any politician that cannot be destroyed ??
If Jesus Christ himself were running for President, the corporate media - along with their comrades, the Republican Party - would call him a radical. They would say that he associates himself with prostitutes and does not love his country. He is a bleeding heart liberal and cannot be trusted. He would tax all our wealthy friends to give more social programs to the poor. He would be a very divisive person.

Not only that, there are rumors that he might have been gay? Also, there are reports that he did drugs with that Gang of Twelve that he hangs out with. He wants to sit down with our enemies and talk. Can you believe that?! Our country could not afford to be under such a leader. His radical friends would attack us. Some of his closest friends say that he likes that red wine just a little too much. And he wants to ban capital punishment. Can you believe it?

5. So true.
The 24 hour cable TV news cycle has destroyed this country. It's made our political dialogue vapid and irrelevant, focused on scandal instead of substance.

And as for Christ, American Christianity doesn't even know the guy.

6. Exactly.
I wish more people would realize this. Anyone can be demonized, and the one we should be wary of is the demonizer.

8. * and Cheny.
Sure the approval ratings are down the toilet, the war in Iraq is dragging on but now we're virtually assured of continued terrorist threats as a result, the Treasury has been raided, banks are gonna get bailed out for the sub-prime fiasco. Mission accomplished for them.

9. George W. Bush.
Everyone knew that he was a business failure, an AWOL "soldier", a mediocre cheating student, a dabbler in underage prostitution, and a dry-drunk cokehead.

Most of this was reported in mainstream news in one form or another.

He was "elected" twice, and will never be prosecuted for any crimes he came in contact with in office.

Bush will retire rich and happy.

Untouchable.
