The infotainment industry has one goal...f*ckin' with your mind
The political programs on CNN, FOX NEWS and MSNBC (in all its permutations) have very few viewers, and a big percentage of them are political junkies. They season their programing with just enough "liberal/progressive/left" viewpoint to draw us in, and then they smack us in the face with stuff like LesbianMaryGate and bogus polls and swift boat liars.

Why? So you will fume and rant and talk about this stuff, instead of talking about Bush's Iraq war and unemployment and health care and everything else that matters. With two weeks to go to the election.

They want to demoralize you. They want you to stay in bed tomorrow instead of walking your precinct. They want you to keep your wallet in your pocket instead of making a donation. they want you to keep the phone on the hook instead of calling your friends and family and telling them why they should vote for Kerry.

99.9% of America does not watch it that shit. Turn it off.

Keep focused on the things that matter.

3. Well, by god they aren't keeping me from doing any of those things.
I am canvassing tomorrow, I am talking to everyone I know and I donated yet again today to the DNC. Screw them, I ain't letting the Repugs take this swing state without a fight.

4. It's Not Working Quite That Way
> They want you to keep your wallet in your pocket instead of making a donation.

Seems to be having the opposite effect on me.
I just made a couple of new donations today.
