The political winds unleashed by a few disgusting videos and a blitzkrieg in the desert have swept all before them. And we now hear rhetoric from Democratic party leaders that sounds close to indistinguishable from Bush or Cheney."

(11,495 posts)The MSM is bought and paid for by who? Think about it. Republicans own the media and spew any kind of BS they want, and yet some seem to buy into it. It's all about trying to depress people enough so they won't get out and vote, and sadly there are those who are gullible enough to buy into the their bullshit!
The fools are the ones who buy into this BS and actually stay home because "there is just not hope", "both parties are the same", "my vote makes no difference". The doom and gloom crowd just loves this kind of shit.
