This Iowa caucus is making one thing patently clear: media hype, political machine organization, and most of all MONEY can't stop a group of outraged citizens ready and determined to make their will known!

GOOOOOOOO DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. nope-just stating the obvious
when the polls in iowa shifted to coincide exactly with the rw blitz of the last month, it's obvious that most voters are highly susceptible to the news they get from the idiot box of television
