Is Fact vs. Fiction so hard to Decipher?

This is something that truly upsets me about the American people... 5 minutes ago everyone was on the "I don't know about this Sarah Palin character" bandwagon. Yet last night she delivers a well rehearsed, brilliantly Karl Rove-esque written speech with her cute hairdo and good make up and everyone is in? Ridiculous! Are the people of this land so ignorant and dumb that opinions can so quickly sway by a rally speech? What happened to finding out facts and researching candidates agendas and backgrounds? Have people actually forgotten their disdain and doubt of just a few moments ago? And to these so-called Republicans. You know, the middle class struggling for survival that believe and have believed for decades that this [Republican] party will make life better for them and their families. Yet these very same people are losing their jobs to big business and outsourcing because of the Republican party. In which these politicians put a few more bucks into their pockets and the pockets of their corporate CEO sponsors while neglecting the needs of the everyday struggling citizens who voted them into office. These middle and lower middle class people who refuse to differentiate NON-ISSUES like God, Guns, and Gays from real societal travesties like Health Care, the National Debt and our steadily increasing poverty rate. Which is at 12.7%, according to the US Census 2005. That is 37 million people or 7.9 million families. Folks, God is a myth, your guns aren't going anywhere and being Gay is as natural as picking that dried up booger out of your nose. Newsflash: Religious tolerance can stop wars, Gun Control can save your child's life, and the right to gay marriages wouldn't affect your daily life if it were legal tomorrow any more than it affects your daily life being illegal today. It's time to focus on matters that actually affect you and your life. What's more, I don't think I can endure one more ignorant republican say..."I'm for small government, more rights, and less infringement on my privacy..." Really? have they not been paying attention at all? Republican catch phrases are amongst the most ignorant, non factual, oblivious & self-righteous statements next to a kindergartner's viewpoint on how they get the cream inside a Twinkie. Is the common American this unaware? Have we truly become the "village idiot" of the world? And how does that not send a message? When nearly the ENTIRE world questions your government and their policies, has turned their back on your nation, pulled support and approval of your wars, isn't time to take a second look? It seems to me like seeing one doctor who says you're perfectly healthy while 50 other doctors say with all certainty that you're sick. At what point do you finally face the truth? It's blatantly clear that Republicans are moving backwards, not forwards. Their current philosophy is not perpetuating Jefferson's "That government that governs best governs least." Currently the Republicans are essentially micro-managing the Nation. The powers that be [McCain, Palin, Bush] want to overturn Roe v. Wade because of some archaic fundamental Christian nonsense. They want...I'm sorry, have laws that prohibit gay marriage because somehow everyone else's love life personally effects theirs. They want to dictate and censor FACTS in our PUBLIC school system which will alter the factual teachings in subjects such as SCIENCE, HISTORY and SEX ED in order to keep in accordance of their religious doctrines of Creationism and personal opinion of morality. Finally, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba holds people, U.S. citizens, captive without any rights at all for an indefinite period of time. Git Mo directly contradicts everything the United States stands for as far as freedom and rights. There are no Constitutional Rights there! My fellow Americans, this party campaigns on your fears and mimics your hatred of those different than you. Just as it hasn't in the past, your life will not get better with any Republican in office, in fact, as the trends dictate it's likely to prove even more difficult. The government is bound to grow into more aspects of your personal life, and your civil liberties are liable to be questioned and stripped. Personally I try to research the agendas of the candidates, decipher what's truly important. Propaganda is for the ignorant and weak, is that where you fall?
