Are American opinions easliy molded by the Media?

I am a constitutional conservative.

I dont care much for political party affiliations.  If you are a conservative democrat than you are just as worthy as a conservative independant or conservative republican.

And you're a liberal Canadian. About time for your countrymen to start driving 25 in a 55 mph zone down here.

I believe that the Will of the People will outweigh the Good of the People.  I believe that the pandering of polticians to their perceived mandates has driven us to a point where our Political Parties are neigh on to indistinguishable and none dare take a stand on critical issues lest they be found unpopular by some influential group.  

I believe Geo W Bush is Alfred E Neuman (of Mad Magazine) and Al Gore is a mannequin desperatly trying to pose as a person.

The fact is our social entitlement programs are unsustainable in the face of the population curve.  These dolts will make gestures at reformation but nobody really wants to talks about what it's going to cost to fund social security and medicare in the face of a declining work force.  The first guy that honestly states that benefits will be cut, taxes will be raised or huge deficit spending is required will be left twisting in the wind.

You tell me where it's going?  Like so many I don't give a crap until it effects me or mine and then I'm pissed.  My fear is that by the time we come to our collective senses and deal with big issues the abilty to influence outcomes will be foreclosed.

Okay, now I'm going to finish my sandwhich.

Obviously this is a man so blinded by his own political straightjacket that he cannot conceive that other people are not as ideologically imprisoned as he is.
