I think Bush and Rove do play into it. I think the association of "evangelicals" with the current administration has given the left and the media the opportunity to paint evangelicals in a negative light. Some of it may be by our own doing, but I think it is absurd for the MSM use that association to discredit a massive amount of citizens.

Of course, I think that about the media in any situation. Most Americans are intelligent enough to know that what Code Pink did in Berkeley or what Imus said is not to be commended. However, I find it disturbing even when moral judgments are dispensed by mainstream media, even in such obvious cases.

I'm an "Obamacan"...

No seriously... EE-BO I just love how you use the word "hell"... That's the point behind a lot of this. I think that campaign directors are marketting spin doctor specialists that can convince the masses as to how to separate folks, easily and classify them. It is an old tactic they are using. "They" want you to feel guilty about YOUR choices in life and choose what "they" tell you choose.

You are subliminally told not have your own mind and to arrive to your own conclusions. And all "they" have to do is add the seed of doubt... Powerful isn't it?

What "they" didn't count on is the tide of change... And a whole new group of people will step in to replace the old with different ideas.

The question is whether those "different ideas" have any merit.

You know, this is what I am seeing...somewhere out there a whole heaping of people are left with little or no real choice of a candidate that they like to vote for, thus they are pissed that no 'real' leader has emerged for them to rally behind.

All the candidates that are out here are just unsatisfactory in addressing their needs and wants in government and even when it comes right down to it, this whole race sucks...somehow I can't help but feel that this is familiar territory...heh!

That must be the only conflict theorist/analyst that you know.

I agree and so does Ralph Nader. All talk and no action.

Am I responding to your every post, PhiGam? Really?

Anyway, I was teasing you because the average person can only think of Marx when they read stuff like that because they think he was the first and is the main conflict theorist. Might've been a private "joke" on my part but don't be so self-important.
