I could go into this much deeper but I felt that this is not the proper forum nor is it wanted here. My original statement was intended to be somewhat neutral and noninflamatory. Governments in general throughout history have not reflected the peoples wishes or ideas, but rather that of a select few, and in most cases the rich and powerful. I do not feel the USA is an exception to this and will be regarded in the history books as such. Governments declare wars, people have to fight them and die. When it comes to the media being your source for polls and information, be very careful what you believe. Probably before this, but since 911 the radio stations have been given approved play lists. They don't necessarily have to follow them, but I think there is a hidden threat of red tape and license problems in the future for a radio station that doesn't. I can't prove the threat issue, that is my opinion, the play lists however is a fact. Talk radio proves nothing but what the moderator and the radio station chooses to promote. All calls are screened for subject matter and many times may not even be live, but have a lag for editing purposes. As to polls it was my impression that Bush's support has been steadily declining. I don't trust that data either though. Every one of us is the target of a propaganda war.
My apologies to the list, but I couldn't help myself from answering this. Honest, I did hold back much of what was on my mind. I promise to be good now :) > I've stayed out of this until I came across this ridiculous statement.
