Whe does the media let the repugs "frame the election debate" -- Iraq only
It's sad that we have soo much at stake in this country and we are stuck with a "terra election".

Over 60% disagree with Bush and his Iraq stunt and yet they want to frame this as THE ISSUE for the election.

If you asked people what they issues they would like to understand. I would think: healthcare, the medicare reform sham, how we get out of our growing federal deficit and education funding would be of great interest in deciding thier vote.

What do get...terra and Iraq. The media is screwing the people by ignoring these important issues or maybe bush is sooo bad in everyhting else who feels terra is his only option.

1. Because they're better at it than we are....
The Right pours millions of dollars into right-wing think tanks where they
spend their time figuring out how to frame things in their favor. Sadly,
with all that effort and money, it works.
