"The media snowjob is working."

Or the people don't want the Feds interfering. Assuming that everyone agrees with your position is flawed logic.

I say media snowjob. Unless the pollees are told the grody details about Terri, they only have a sanitized picture of it.

Where did I claim that everyone agrees with my position? All I'm saying is that if the media convince enough people that government intervention is wrong and that this is a family matter, they have diverted attention away from the fact that MS and Greer are getting away with murder.

Assuming that everyone agrees with your position is flawed logic.

It's a far, far greater problem on a place like DU, which is utterly detached from the political reality of the country and filled with people that encounter nobody that disagrees with them in their daily life, but it's still a problem on FR.

But people make the mistake of assuming that FR is an accurate representation of the opinion of the country; it is not...particularly on a lot of social con issues. More than most social cons are prone to living sort of an insular existence where their family, and their friends and fellow churchmembers and whatnot all have similar views.

I'd vote for that!
