According to the news, the "national idol" won by over a million votes. According to the news, the over all vote for "national idol" was 60 million votes.
According to the news, the number of voters in the democratic primary was 19 million.
Is there any potential for Americans to cease looking for entertainment and get around to the responsibility and privilege of voting?
I mean, is a singer going to decide what happens to human life in America and around the world? Is a singer going to decide who has a job? Is a singer going to decide whether we are all forced to permit right wing religious zealots to have our way in public schools? Is a singer going to decide who gets taxpayer funds to send American jobs overseas and not pay taxes because they use off shore banking? Is a singer going to decide who lives and who dies in the only industrialized nation that has no universal health care?
I realize that politics and entertainment are mixed, but why can we only find democratic radio on this site? Why is the only viable opposition party to a dictatorship, a lunatic dictatorship, curtailed.
Who dares to sponsor? Come on.
All Gore yelled, and Dean yelled, and Kerry is putting people to sleep.
Anybody know his speech writer? I realize the endless blah was an informational thing, but, dear God (if there be one) there were dozens of times he could have built on his statements. And he did NOT.
We need passion.
Information-ally, Kerry is the best, but building passion to give a damn about his programs is a weak suit.
I do hope he picks a passionate VP candidate.
