 We've been hearing for months now how the U.S. 2008 Presidential election seems to be a "Close Horse Race?" O'Really? Perhaps it's in our MSM's best interest that this Horse Race illusion continues for the remaining five weeks. It's all about ratings. Here's a little help in breaking down MSM language.

  Close Horse race: = MOSTLY ALREADY DECIDED
  Rescue Plan: =  WALL STREET BAILOUT
  Redistricting: = GERRYMANDERING
  Enhanced interrogation techniques: =  WATERBOARDING...TORTURE
  Ethnic Cleansing: =  MASS MURDER?...GENOCIDE

   We're fortunate that here in America we have a "Free Press" Free from Corporate Parent Companies having influence over their Newscaster employees, and what they have to say.. 90% of all Americans opposed the Wall Street bailout. 64% of Americans have opposed (for over three years now) the Iraq War debauchle. Do we all like how our tax dollars are being spent? (Corporate bailouts, Iraq War, tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of Americans) The core principle of a "Real Democracy" is that the majority wins out over the minority. Ain't Democracy great! Why should Americans even continue to pay their taxes these days. Ahhh, but we Americans are fortunate that we live in a true Democratic Republic. We are ruled by a President. We don't ever have to worry about a Monarchy/Theocracy form of Government here. We don't have to worry about if our President truly represents "We The People", or not." Or if we end up being ruled by a dim-witted Decider who dictates U.S. policy according to his own personal religious beliefs, or whether he has "Daddy Issues" or not. Or do we?........
