Reply #46: So simple and true.......its the projected image and its reinforcement by the corporate media [View All]

that influences Voters. By planting a certain imagery of a candidate in the minds of the public early and often, they literally call the shots on our elections.

Bill Clinton was framed as a womanizer (masculine) who could feel your pain (feminine)--The extreme of the Alpha Male womanizer neutered his sensitivity and gave him perfect balance....especially during a time of peace.

Gore was framed as an intellectual(metrosexual) know-it-all who loved his wife and showed it with affection (the kiss-feminine)....who **sighed** (feminine) during debates.

John Kerry was framed as a liberal elitist (feminine) who liked the French (feminine) and sissy sports (feminine). His veteran record (masculine) was put into question, his wounds (masculine) were minimized and ridiculed, and the fact that his wife was more well off than him was emphasized (Feminine).

Guess who got to serve as a Democratic President, and who didn't?
