There are still around 40% of the public who support Dumbya. Some are neocon nut jobs for sure. But a lot are just ordinary hard working folks who are being manipulated and shafted.

Many don't have time or energy to think much about it. The easiest approach to getting people's political support is to hook them on some fear or prejudice they already have.

Rove may have them convinced the Libs are after their guns. This Christmas they were conned into thinking the Libs were trying to stop them from saying "Merry Christmas". Some have been conned into believing the homosexual agenda is to take over the public schools and turn their sons into gays. Lot's of basically decent people are afraid of some damn thing or the other they have been conned into being afraid of.

But the last 40% supporting Bush aren't necessarily nut jobs. A little slow, maybe. Some of them may realize they have been had by next year. Some will never get it.

Karl Rove and his cynical cohorts have been amazing effective at taking advantage and manipulating people. Throw the corporate media into the mix and it's a wonder only 40% still back Bush. If the only "news" you get is from TV or talk radio, how the hell are you supposed to know what's going on?

Remember after 9-11 when Dumbya disappeared for a few days for scripting and rehersals? Everybody was wondering where he was and then he showed up at the World Trade Center for a scripted photo op.

It was masterfully done. Rove had a plant out in the crowd to yell "We can't hear you!"

I don't remember the exact script but then Bush comes back with something like "We can hear you! The world can hear you, and pretty soon the people that did this are going to hear.. etc.

That was masterfully scripted and staged propaganda and Bush's approval ratings shot sky high. All the people responding to the script weren't nut jobs and they aren't all nut jobs now.

Americans are pretty decent and trusting people for the most part. Maybe that's why Cheney/Bush/Rove has found it so easy to deceive and manipulate them.

Is that enough slack Dan??

Oh yeah. I knew you'd find a biter eventually. Now sit back and play it for a while.

I cant say anything but I totally agree with the post. Anybody who doesnt and actually lives here in this country has a screw loose.

P.s the only plausible reply to this thread reference the "native americans" what about the kenniwick man or the great burial mounds in the middwest or the bones found in florida? these have been suppressed. Why?

besides that if the ruskies came here or the spanish or the mexicans there wouldnt be any tribes left.

If we get many more administrations like this one the real question is who's going to be here last? Probably Cheney. By then he'll be a complete cyborg.

Well, technically, the "ruskies"(sic) were here before us, as well as the Spanish and Mexicans.

The chinks were here before all of them.

Real class TK!

You've proven many many times what a bigot you are!

Grow up.

Should I have used coolies as they were known here? You are right grow up and have a sense of humor.

Oh so you were being funny...

Do you always excuse your racism as a joke or just stupidity?

Racism is an action not a word. Your support of lefty social programs are racist as a example because they are based on the idea that people of certain races are not equal and impose action to prove that point. . Refering to someone with an invective is not racist. Specifically when humor is intended. If all races could laugh at themseleves and the sterotypes it would end a lot sooner.

"Racism is an action not a word. "

Calling someone a "chink" is an action, stupid.

Whom did I call a chink?

You want a name?

My support of lefty programs?

So you know what programs I support? Please enlighten me so I can start taking credit.

You feeble attempts to categorize people only exposes your idiocy even further. Not only do you make gross generalizations about individuals, entire races, political rivals but you then try to accuse others of doing exactly what you have been doing on this board since the sad day you joined.

And now you have even managed to rationlize your own bigotry!

But hey, as long as the humor excuse works for you... Right?

DanS

Please show me where have done either of these by the definition. I hope you never refer to someone as a Cracker again.

Waky,

You don't even know what Racisim is but you do not hesitate to call someone a racist by your imagined definition. You have been brain dead or brain washed for so long you just spew out the standard liberal line of BS.

TK

Using a derogatory reference to an entire race is racism no matter what dictionary definition you try to hide behind. Keep on rationalizing.

Life must be great when you can just call folks that don't see eye to eye with you Liberal.
