Fog of War & Religious Hysteria will keep Bush* in Gore's White House
Advertisements [?]

- First...allow me to be clear about the intent of this post: I hope with all my being that Democrats can take back the White House, congress and the senate. But I just don't see that happening in 2004. The deck is stacked against us and the dealer is a paid operative of the Bush* government. (The dealer in this case is the American media).

- Americans are being told (by the corporate media) that Democrats hate America and are 'weak' on the war on terrorism. It seems that at least half of America believes it. The problem is that the Democratic party simply has no way to counter the powerful propaganda and smear machine of the Bush* government. Unlike the Republicans...Democrats haven't spent the last several decades building a partisan media empire and installing zealots in the right places.

- While the media is busy 'Goring' Democrats and their candidates...they're even busier manufacturing consent and building Bush's* image into that of an 'honest, God-fearing, brave, decisive 'war president'. They downplay or simply refuse to report on Bush's* malfeasance and criminal acts...blaming the 'partisan' Left for even making them an issue.

- Optimistic Democrats don't seem to understand that the American media is on Commander CEO's* side and want him to remain president*. They will NOT abandon him now that the defense/energy gravy train is running at full speed and government is finally under the full control of corporations. The formula is simple: those who own the most gold make the rules. Those who own the most gold AND the media own the 'truth'. Like it or not...the truth is whatever the media says it is. Like everything else in New America...the truth can be bought.

- Bush* is going to ride the 'war on terrorism', fear and religious hysteria right back into the White House. There's literally nothing Democrats can do about it because they have become part of the problem with their direct or indirect support for many of his policies and their unwillingness to protect and defend the Constitution.

- Please don't dismiss this post as 'pessimistic' and move on. The Democratic party has been fooled into believing that bipartisanship and cooperating with the Bush* government will make them look more patriotic and 'tough' on the war on (some) terrorism. But this cooperation has accomplished nothing but making Democrats appear weak and subordinate to the 'strong and decisive' Bush* administration. They look like followers instead of leaders.

- We're repeating the history of Hitler's Germany...when the people were powerless or too afraid to stop a 'snowball rolling down a mountain'. Bush* knows he's going to win because the dealer works for him. He knows this...just as he knew in 2000 as his operatives worked behind the scenes to make it happen. The Bushies won't depend on democracy or elections to stay in office. Keep this in mind and plan for the future.
