The power of “subliminal messaging” has been demonstrated several times, with varying results.

It appears to be an adaptation of the principles of psychologist B.F. Skinner, and his theories on “operant behavior”. By using some of the more extreme examples, living creatures may be “taught” to do things that absolutely contradict what may be considered as survival skills, and engage in self-destructive behavior, with what seems to be great relish.

This whole campaign was based on finally applying “operant behavior” that has been taught in schools for the past quarter century or more, and inducing enough of these “trained” human lab rats to act in a manner totally inimical to their personal well-being.

Complete nonsense. This guy polls similarly to Al Gore and John Kerry, two of the biggest stiffs ever to run for office. He has complete cover from the press, anti-American forces worldwide working for him, and he still is having trouble putting away a very mediocre Republican candidate. Gore and Kerry faced a stronger candidate. You guys are ridiculous.
