(22,671 posts)Look at all the mileage they get out of this red-herring and they didn't even pay for it. Not in dollars and not in votes.
It's the great American deception. Your analysis doesn't lie. We're being dumbed down and let down by M$M which should be catching this.
We're being led around my 36% of the electorate and the 24/7 RW media's deception and ignorance.

No room for a link though. Might have to work on it. Or be more 'clever' as Twitter puts it.
