...then how can he possibly be the favorite?  The only plausible arguments I can figure are as follows.

1) the media control information and paint Bush in a positive light (wait, I thought the jews controlled the media and they're 70% Dem)

2) The Dems are too inept to nominate a winning candidate (seductive, yes, but who in the Dem primaries would have fared better: Edwards solo - too young; Dean - too mean; gephart - too lame; lieberman - lol; wesley clark - lmao).

3) the American voting public isn't well informed enough to make a smart choice. (always my front runner)

4) maybe average american values are actually different from those of the internet surfing, whoremongering, urbanites such as us (proabably the right answer).  

My point: I'm personally pro-choice, against prayer in schools, despise the religious right, hate farm subsidies, believe in same-sex marriage, etc.  In fact, I can't imagine why anyone with "American" values would believe otherwise.  But they do.  And its their America as much as mine.

Oh yea, did I mention I've spent the week so far on a grand tour of Kansas: Wichita, Great Bend, Dodge City, Garden City.  Take that trip one day and you'll see a different America than I'm used to.
