...but they are manipulated by the forces of Big Money...it's all staged and the lemmings follow. The only way to fight it is to rectify the financial disparities in this country and frankly that would take some leaders with courage and people like Obama and the Clintons have none of it...they practically belong in the Republican party...time to get back to our roots and quit making excuses for these war mongering, surveillance state, game playing charlatans. Merry Christmas.

them as just a bunch of yuppies making fun of southern people. He showed them all clean shaven at the golf course and pictures of them with their yuppie families. Why isn't anyone in the news media outing those frauds? Same goes for all the other so called reality shows, they are all staged bullshit.

W bought his Crawford pig farm in 1999 just a few months before the election so he could stage photo ops of himself 'clearing brush' in western style clothes that still had the creases in them from the department store. Prior to that he lived his entire life in the suburbs and didn't know one end of a cow from another. He was born, raised, and educated in New England. Nobody seem to care much that he was a complete fraud.

But all he had to do was pander to the idiots. W kept repeating the phrases "hard workin' and "working hard". A subtle but effective sham slam on those the job creators agree aren't hard workin'—like moocher racial minorities. I'm sure W didn't come up with that on his own.

They carefully massaged the W character throughout his presidency. First they worked on getting rid of his near constant condescending sneer. But it was a tough task keeping the true W persona from coming through.
