The greatest underlying cause behind the fact that voters don’t seem to care is that these voters don’t care enough about the country to do any meaningful research on their own into the candidates, or they don’t have the thinking power to do so. (Either way is similarly depressing.)

The greatest practical cause behind the fact that voters don’t seem to care is the fact that the MSM are corrupt and vacuous, both intellectually and morally. Even if they present the truth about Obama, if that presentation is done in a way that makes it seem like it’s no big deal, then the voters won’t care. Sad but true. If they were to present the truth with the gravitas/frequency/intensity with which they would present it regarding any Republican, then the voters would care.

I have said for the past several years that this election would prompt the greatest propaganda campaign in the history of the planet, and that this election would be a barometer of how much power the MSM have left. If they have enough power left to swing an election, Obama wins. If not, McCain wins. Although it paints a very poor prognosis for the future thriving of America, it’s obvious that tens of millions of Americans still lap up what the MSM put before them.

Exactly! If Obama had been properly vetted like any other candidate should have been, he wouldnt be so damned popular. We cant have that from the Lamestream Media, can we?
