link, African Uranium, Wilson/Plame leak, 9/11 investigation, Osama dead or alive + Saddam DOA, energy conferences with Cheney, Enron/Kenny Boy,

1. The radical right

has discovered that a lie told often enough becomes as truth to many folks. It would seem that this is not lost upon the neoconservative democrats either, vis-a-vis their ridiculous charges about Nader and Greens.

4. Classic Goebbels' strategy, yep. I don't dislike Nader or Greens

but I sure wish Ralphie had not run in 2000.

2. Americans have a short attention span

Worse, it's a collective attention span.

Well, not ALL Americans, but more than enough to give * an undeserved win in 2004. Especially if the economy improves (which it won't, and surely not for the long term if * is elected.)

[benddem]

3. Well we have more important things on our minds

Like * having all the Nascars and drivers to the White House. That apparently is more important. I'm on the West Coast and haven't seen the news yet, but bet it will lead.x(

5. Lethargy is the real problem

and the fact that most americans are simply all too aware that the system is corrupt and does not represent them.

[KensPen]

6. why should we care about these important problems....

I am much more concerned about Scott Peterson....
or Kobe Bryant...
Or Whacko Jacko.....

Just keep putting shiny objects on TV and I will be amused.
