Sorry about the title folks, I thought that would get some attention.
I was on a thread this morning: RICH: 'MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE' MORE PARTISAN THAN 'FAHRENHEIT 911'. It explained that this movie being brought out by the lefty/socialist/Democrat Hollywood may have even a greater negative influence on the election than Moore's pile of lies.
It is obvious to all of us that this effort to beat our President George Bush and ruin the direction of conservatism by the lefty institutions in this country has never been so diligent and so focused. The mainstream news media has become so blatantly left leaning that nearly every day I really have the impulse to strangle one (or more) of them.
Last night for example Chrissie 'Softball' Matthews had the arrogance and hutzpah to shove that famous and sleazy bricklayer, Jamie Gorelick, in our faces immediately after the 9/11 Report came out. Each day now we can see the relentless effort of the mainstream liars to ignore Sandy Berger's disgusting and unforgivable thefts!
All of us are alarmed at the power of the influential media on most voters, I am very worried. I am worried because most Americans are too busy, too disinterested, or just too damn ignorant to get to know the truth of real news events. So there is a genuine fear that the media and the other lefty influential institutions will be successful in winning this election for the lowly opportunist, John Kerry.
But, here may be how we can win this election with honesty and hard work. We will have to go around the media. It will take all our efforts, each day until November. Each of us has to do this. See what you think.
This is what I wrote on that thread this morning
The brainwashing by the media/entertainment business is never-ending. I don't believe the American people are smart or interested enough to see through it. Bush and the country are in deep trouble. But I think I have a way to win this election, but I must go work now. I'll start a thread later on this. Let me just say this now.
I ran into a landscaper Monday who buys my plant products. We started talking about the election. I started the conversation. He's a smart enough guy, but he's got that "Bush is in the pocket of big business, Republicans are evil" bull in his head. But I persisted. I asked him what he was interested in. He mentioned "a fear of bombings" in our country. I brought up OKC! Then I asked him to look up Jayna Davis on his computer. He was a somewhat curious guy so he said he would. He drove away, and yesterday he called me back and was amazed at what he learned (about OKC). To make a long story short, this guy was a sure Dem. voter in November, he had said so, now he's amazed at what he's learning and had never known. He's asking for more to see. I turned him onto Kerry's activities with VVAW. He's now seriously thinking of voting for Bush. He hates commies. Now he's beginning to realize the commie is Kerry.
ALL of us must find those 'on the fence voters' who we know, find their interests, then give them something to look up and learn about THAT interest.
It works, and if we want to have a chance to beat this sick media/entertainment onslaught, we must individually find these people and make an effort to influence them before November.
It works, but we all have to do it..... or we lose.

Get a grip..
Remember Evan Thomas, editor of Newsweek, openly brags that 10%-15% of Kerry's approval ratings are due to the media's eforts.
Boy, your title dragged ME in quickly! LOL!
I've converted a couple of friends; just don't get out and see people that much. Keep it up.
Geez..around here it seems like no one has ever experienced a presidential election with its ups and downs in the polls.
And .....around here it seems like SOME Freepers don't really read the threads........LOL!

I totally agree with the fact that the left media and Hollywood is brainwashing the American public. I hear young people all the time telling me 911 Farehneit has convinced them who to vote for.
They have no clue about conservative issues and the damage the left can do. Anything anyone can do to enlighten the masses is a good idea. Keep doing whatever works.
Kerry is too much of a wuss to do anything of the sort.
His administration would be a rerun of Carter, and would probably produce the same effect on voters.
I hear you! That's why I had to write this and give it one more try. I find that most people who you would consider to be relatively intelligent still don't know much of what really is going on. The socialists are on the move, and anyone who thinks that we won the Cold War are not correct.
The socialists own and operate most of the media and nearly all the schools. That's how they are winning.... the schools and the media. Oh.. and the judges.
:-) ....... right!
I don't know much about Jayna Davis, but she did a talk show here on So. California recently, and made one key statement that caused me to doubt her credibility.
A caller asked her about the role Elohim City's residents/visitors/etc. may have played in the OKC bombing.
She said (paraphrasing): "In years of interviewing on this I have been unable to find anything to connect Timothy McVeigh to Elohim City."
I thought that was odd since part of the evidence collection included phone calls almost certainly from McVeigh to Elohim City, right?
While those calls may prove nothing, her denial of any connection caused me concern -- as if no information which may cast doubt on her focus on Iraq & a trip to the Philippines was considered.
All that said, I could be mistaken and/or she could have misspoken.
I must stand them. I'll quit after November. I'm getting too old for this heavy war. I'll fight for G.W. through November 2nd, or longer if Kerry pulls a GORE!
This movie has a very different plot line. Check it out.
...or band together and save ourselves and our country after the next 9/11 destroys the populated (ie. blue) areas.
