Certainly a question I have been wanting an answer too as well. It seems to me be to related to the closeness of elections when just the base voter is involved. No one in the base is changing their minds, so the result would be razor thin.

This, despite what appears to be abject stupidity, of the other party. So it is minorities and the "disenfranchised that are able to swing elections in a big way, to the tune of 10 or 20, 000 votes, when the result should be overwhelming.

By the media taking sides, and relentlessly appealing to deception, scare tactics deliberate distortion of the truth, outright lies, and emotional appeals, they can swing the uninformed, and unintelligent voter who's only access to the truth is through the MSM.

A question might be what of truth and the msm? Appearances this election are that greater numbers of immigrants, legal or illegal, blacks, Hispanics, free and open borders nuts, abortion solves all women's problems proponents, and America hating, get us out of Iraq, peace in our time lefties, are all aligned to help in the desired change in direction, engineered by a few for the "benefit" of the majority.

It is indeed a puzzle. In a time when we need people with a plan, speaking truth, and the courage to keep steady course...voted into power was the party without any of those values.

Part of the problem is we have let academia set the stage of the social(ist) revolution. A whole generation, now able to vote, calls themselves free-thinking and open to all kinds of ideas. And yet for all their words about free-thinking, love all, etc. They were never thought the critical thinking skills of evaluation and survival. Neither their parents, not academia, have given them the skills to sort fact from fiction.

I know people who really believe 9/11 was created by the United States for its own purposes...I mean they believe it! No matter how many facts are given them to prove otherwise, including Bin Laden's own admissions.

I also strongly believe part of the problem is the insulated world most US citizens live in. Many seem to think that life like it is here in the US is similar around the world. Sure they see the pictures, but it doesn't register with them just how dang lucky they are to live in the United States. Somehow they can't relate bur-ques to brutality, children strapped with bombs as child abuse, human shields as murder, beheading, riots over pictures...

It is a disconnect I don't understand. And even such a disconnect is occurring throughout what is left of the 'free world'.
