Actually, it is probably closer to truth than fiction.

America has decided it wants socialism. Those voting in the republican primaries certainly seem to want it by their voting records. Marxists are already there. America wants free stuff. It wants to be like the Eurowinnies. It wants peace, low prices, cheep gas, cheep Chinese goods, short work weeks, socialized medicine. It wants to get the good life for free. So, they are voting socialism.

I agree with your analysis. While the media contributes to this attitude it is but one of the offenders. Kids learn it at public schools, churches preach the gospel of "free stuff", politicians lie about the consequences of "free stuff".

Americans have become soft and stupid--it is a nasty combination.

Sadly, you are exactly right. People here are talking about some conspiracy by the MSM to silence conservative candidates and that's a crock. Voters are more informed than they have ever been. The reason that conservative candidates are doing poorly is because people aren't supporting them! The country has long since moved left culturally and we are quickly moving left economically. The right doesn't currently have someone articulate and inspirational enough to change peoples' hearts and pull them back to conservatism as we did with Reagan.

There are threads here where people are talking about who Thompson should pick as his running mate. Get a grip!!! Thompson ain't going anywhere but down! By Tuesday he'll probably be out of the race. 2008 is a wash. It is the Democrats' to lose.

At this point we have two parties, liberal and more liberal and that is what the voters want.
