He appears in front of pre-selected audiences...his "live" interviews are pre-planned...his "press conferences" are attended by pre-approved press ONLY...the list goes on and on! Talk about propoganda!

1. Because perception is reality, and if you tell a lie 5 times with
conviction it becomes the truth. Chimp is a war hero, and Kerry is the biggest war criminal since Pol Pot. 59 million fuckheads think so!:puke:

2. sheep
Some people are sheep and are happy to follow even if over a cliff. Just don't make them think out of the box. The twit is their grand leader. If he says something it must be right. They like not thinking for themselves. Look at the followers of Falwell or Robertson. What intelligent well read person would believe anything they say?
I raised sheep among other animals and I can tell you they are very dumb creatures.

6. I think they know.

And that disturbs me.

Many Americans live relatively comfortable lives. They may be choosing to believe the smoke 'n mirrors ploy the WH poses as the issues....to keep their "comfort zone" avoid the issues...and go shopping.

:shrug:

(end of layman's psych babble)

8. I wish Dems would mention that once in a while
Why not taunt him the way Republicans taunt Democrats all the time?

"George W. Bush is afraid to appear in front of unscreened crowds. He's afraid to face impromptu questions. He wants to be interviewed only by people who agree with him. What a coward..."

9. The past campaign took the cake.
You couldn't even get into a Bush event unless you swore an oath in blood and promised on the life of your first born child that you were a loyal Bushie.
