Hollywood Springsteen and Moore didn't hurt us they helped
What hurt us was a media that promoted one candidate while demoting another and tried to use reporting or punditry to sell a certain talking point like swift boat vet coverage.
And the simple way they would report on a candidate actually pushing their views IE:(random pundit) people know and like president bush and may not want to change horses And Kerry's approach has some wandering how hes going to pay for it or how he can get the world to help and flip flopping..yada yada yada this type of punditry regurgitated daily molding peoples opinions for one and against another was everywhere in the media usually pro chimp.Cokie Roberts was one of the worst.
then of course with "Christian guide for voters " that informed what "good Christians" to vote for but not who but nudged told them to vote for bush.brought up gay marriage stem cell research but not war lieing and bigotry.
All we had at our disposal was maybe bill Moyer's, 60 minutes, the daily show..We had comedy central as a reliable source of news even more reliable then CNN ..WTF is that about.
I stand firm in my belief that god him self couldn't get through to voters with a slanted system like this.
and then their is massive voting fraud.

1. What hurt us was Diebold. We won.

And yes, thanks Moore, Springsteen and everyone non-famous who did good. You are appreciated by all lucid decent people (and soon also by the present teevee watchers)

3. Last news was a snag in contract. our money no good there
remember the sabotage AAR encountered? Faux investors, renegued contracts in Chicago, LA?
Whoever tells you media is in it just for the money, riddle me them facts.
