In reply to: Lance 's message, "If all this stuff is true - and I'm agreeing that it prolly is - given the economy, the lies about WMD, etc, how come Bush is a shoo-in for President in 2004? Could someone explain that to me please? Where are the Democrats?" on 11:36:21 06/03/03 Tue

I don't know where the Democrats are. I think none of their candidates has enough personality - stamina - charisma - whatever. It's just like in 1988 when the Democrat presidential wannabees (including Al Gore and Dick Gephardt, I don't remember the others) were widely known as the seven dwarfs: too many of them and none really convincing. And they are too busy to outshine each other instead of combining forces for a while and hit Dubya where it really hurts.

Bush is a shoo-in for 2004 because he and his mob are using foreign policy as a strategy for domestic policy. US Americans are traditionally desinterested in foreign policy and - I'm sorry to say - too many are not informed enough to tell the difference.

Moreover, the US of A are not owned by its citizens but by multibillion corporations, and for them Dubya is a godsend. They will do everything to keep him.

And if that's still not enough explanation, Dubya is a shoo-in because of the archaic election system and the easiness voter lists can be rigged.

Other than that - no idea. Maybe the US of A are just a nation of political masochists, or considering the havoc Dubya is creating abroad, a nation of political sadomasochists who hate us non US Americans and our lifestyle.

In my opinion, the number one reason is ignorance and apathy on the part of the American people. The voters still have the power to change things 180 degrees from the norm, but they are too lazy to educate themselves or go vote. They would rather have answers spoon fed to them, and be told what to do and what to think even while they claim the opposite. (NT) -- Drew Greyfox, 18:44:52 06/03/03 Tue
- You're right about that. They want someone to do the thinking for them, and then tell them what to do. As long as the media supports everything Bush says and does, the American people will support everything Bush says and does. It's really that simple. People believe what they are told most of the time. (NT) -- Markus, 02:19:20 06/04/03 Wed
  - Yes and the duplicity of the US media has been both active and subtle when it comes to supporting this administration. Post war - how many times have we been told that WMDs have �possibly� been discovered in Iraq? That will be splashed across newspaper front pages in huge headlines. Then when the �WMD� turns out to be a old bottle of �Weed-be-Gone� -- that little bit of information will be printed on page B-28, under the K-Mart ad. (NT) -- Dano, 11:37:45 06/04/03 Wed
