Michael, I'm saying, as I said at the bottom of this post here: Message 13051600 that politics seems to involve more and more the crafty manipulation by mass media of not very bright, not very educated, and not very attentive or discerning people. As evidence, we know that these sleazy mendacious attack ads (Bush's breast cancer and environment smears are unconscionable) work. McCain has a real point--in this age of expensive powerful media manipulation, money influences as never before. Politics always involved manipulation, but the corrupting role of money and influence peddling is greater than ever before. The real problems never get aired. I suppose none of this really matters to you guys because the main, if not the only, thing you care about is which candidate will likely appoint the most Scalia & Thomas-like Supreme Court Justices. Actually, for some here, Scalia is a liberal--they want Bork.
