Because politicians are business men, lobbyists are their employers, and demagoguery is their business. Unfortunately it seems that most people in this country are susceptible to the demagogic business model (the new snake oil). Take Rush Limbaugh for example. He's probably the most laughably blatant example: :: Rush Voice :: "Frieeennnndddsss ... can yooouuu believvvveee ... what the liberaaallllsss ... are saying todaaayyy? They just don't get it do theeeeyyyy?" It's textbook propaganda: you convince people there's a threat to their lifestyle (the problem), that there are 2 sides and that they are on the good side, and that your ideas are the solution to the problem. People fall for this crap. Look at all of the Limbaugh/Hannity listeners there are. (In Limbaugh's case you get jacked up on goofballs which helps your paranoid conspiracy theory sound more sincere.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:193570 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
