Voters

Well, I just got back from a Central American country known for coffee and Contras. Talk about voter intimidation. Down there you can actually be beaten for voting the wrong way, unlike modern "intimidation" here in the States which amounts to a fairy tale for a biased media.
Oh, that reminds me, this is a must see. http://howobamagotelected.com/ When I first watched this I was horrified that these folks were actually voting. It didn't matter who they were voting for, it was their lack of knowledge and the inaccuracy of what they thought they knew. Now I really understand what Neil Boortz means when he refers to the "dumb masses". I knew what he meant, it's just that I had never seen such an example. It is also an example of biased media and the actual filter it uses to only present the information it wants you to see. Ah, here's another one about folks who don't know what's going on. http://beltwayblips.com/video/harlem_voters/
Is there some actual conspiracy at work here? I'm not sure about that, but it seems like it could be. Who is actually in charge of what is seen on the TV news, or in the pages of a newspaper or magazine. You may never see the whole truth unless you actually go out and find it. Even then you may be unable to get the real truth. Ever seen the movie "Wag the Dog"? It's about perception management. It's about the creation of truth, the selling of an idea. Much like Obama being sold to the public as an agent of change.
Have you been paying attention to his selections for the various posts in his administrations. Clintonistas, some of the folks who helped bring us this economic situation; will Bill Ayers be the new Secretary of Education? It's an interesting group. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State. We will soon see what Obamas definition of change actually is. One group of voters will be surprised.
