To show you why, one of the local TV channels begins the newscast with "here is what people are talking about." they are only giving the viewers exactly what the viewer wants.

Yeah. The human race sucks.

I dont hold anything against your mother (or anyone else) for voting Republican any more than I would if she voted Democrat but the reasons that people give for voting one way or another can be truly depressing.

I take it that you are voting Democrat? Why so?

I guess this is a perfect example of mass psychology in action and Fox has succeeded.



Sorry guys, I am pretty down on the human species.


Your mother evidently has cognitive thinking to be able to ascertain her political views...and everybody has them.
