Tipping Points - How many does Bush get?
Is it just me or does George Bush seem to have the slickest form of teflon coating of any president?

I don't get it - this guy has had so many "tipping points" that it makes me wonder if we'll ever have a chance.

Just frustrated I guess.....

1. Here's the problem
The guy has a base that is rabid, and his corporate handlers in the MSM won't tell the truth.

So when tipping point A comes up, folks watch Fox and think it's not all bad and someone must be lying to them, disregarding the probability that Fox is doing the lying.

Problem is, now they have an emotional investment intheir position, so when tipping point B pops up, if they cave, then they have to admit that they were suckered in by tipping point A as well. The same goes for tipping points C, D, E, etc.

We are now at the point where, if a tip occurs, 30% of the nation is going to realize that they have been suckered again and again, and wilfully chose to ignore the signs. Psychologically, pretty devastating. And that's why they continue to lie to themselves, because acknowledging one truth will inevitably leads to acknowledging all the others as well.
