Does anybody think that the internet geek poetry society didn't exist before this administration was elected? Surely nobody thinks that this bit of *****ing and moaning on this website is 'revolutionary' or original to the Bush Haters?
This forum isn't a contest--it just depends on which guy has the time to post that tips the current prevailing thought.
We'll see who wins in November. I bet whomever it is, the complainers will still be complaining.

It's an interesting dynamic. The "host" is removed from the equation and people are free to bring supporting facts. That is revolutionary. I am interested in what impact it will have. MOst Mass media academics say AM radio brought in the Republicans in a big way in 1992. The Internet may do the same thing for the Democrats in 2004. Bush gets hammered anywhere where the facts can be examined. Check out some other forums. Heck the other day I was one called "Conservative Rant Forum" (how appropriate a name) and he was getting hammered there by lefties and a few righties. He still does well in the AM radio arena, where each participant is limited to a few sentences and is interrrupted or hung up if he crosses the party line. I think thinking people have left that media Potemkin village tho, when I listen now the intellectual level of the average caller has sunk to the pits.
