Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Toombaru askd, “Do you [Michael A] vote for them based on what they say they believe?” Response: Nope! I look more at “how” they say what they’re saying, their body language, the words they use (e.g., are they hypey, geared toward pushing people’s emotional reactive buttons so they can be manipulated by the Pied Pipers of Politics, preying on emotional “images” such as “patriotism”, “reducing taxes”, “cleaning up the environment” (while crapping all over it); “supporting our troops” (while abandoning them like used toilet paper once they’ve been sent off to war to kill and be killed by old white men riddled with profiteering agendas); by what they “don’t” say; etc. Frankly speaking, it means very little to me what they apparently believe, say they believe, or don’t believe.
