22. The Dems propaganda machine
isn't backed by all the US multi-national corporations like the Republican's spin machine is. The Republicans own all the major media in case you haven't noticed. Unfortunately, telling the truth doesn't pay as much as furthering an agenda for rich SOBs.

I agree that Bush is not rightfully our president because his cronies did steal the election (and every election since 2000.) But I sometimes feel I want to blame people for snoozing and letting this happen. Too many Americans haven't a clue as to what our government is doing or even what it's supposed to be doing. On the other hand, so many people, especially in the south, have been so totally propagandized (is that a word?) from every possible direction that I have a hard time placing ALL the blame on the people.

I'm sorry to hear Australian opinion of the US is down but in a way it's heartening to know that the rest of the world is basically against all this Republican garbage. I might be more upset if I thought Australia LOVED Bush! I just hope the rest of the world takes a lesson from us and vigilantly guards their democracy. Freedom isn't free, you know. ;)
