Just thought I'd mention it.
They might by lying, making up polls to make us think we believe them...
It's called manufactured consent.
I do not believe the American people are this stupid.

(23,946 posts)the questioning and the big picture?
And the American people are not scared because of the videos you yourselves keep publicizing for
ISIS for free, you lying media assholes.
Mass media manufactured consent for their own warmongering is exactly what it is, and we have all seen this movie before.

(10,044 posts)It should be set up to say something to the effect that we WANT/DO NOT WANT a vote in the Congress and Senate authorizing the President to do take action concerning the ISIS threat.
I wish to contact my representatives in Michigan, but there should there should be an easier quick way for all of us to contact ALL of them..
I would vote that they must put it to a vote whether the President can take action, and what action, ie, boots on the ground, ?
I am worried because I just saw Rep. King say that the President should do something right away because enough time has been wasted, and the Congress could write and ratify the authorization bill later.
I don't trust King to vote FOR the authorization if things go badly in the President's actions, whatever they may be. Too easy to blame it all on President Obama....

(10,337 posts)John McCain, Ted Cruz Michelle Bachman, Sara Palin, Loui Gohmrt, Rick Perry, Pt Robertson, the list goes on and on. Only really stupid people could actually elect these clowns. Need more? Look at the T.V.listings in your local paper. 500 channels of intilectual dreck. Even MSNBC is beating he drums for endless was in "Eurasia". Our bridges and roads are flling apart. Many of our citeezens are starving nd living in the streets. We have no money to correct this but we have endlless funds to prop up Di Fi and "the Dicks" defense contractor portfolios.
When I see us taxing the 1% and sending their kids to serve as cannon fodder for our corporate masters, then, and only then, will I believe any of this bullshit.

(1,213 posts)if we had a functioning media, we would not be having our votes counted by privately owned electronic voting machines with secret source code.

No thank you. Hand count ballots by career public servants of both, or all parties to verify the count.
No more computer voting. If they can do it by hand in a day in Canada, they can do it faster here.
