Welcome to IWETHEY!

New There's something I can't help thinking.
And that is with Diebold's ongoing troubles as makers of election equipment, and their recent very public questioning whether they want to stay in that market, here we have the Bush administration firing people for not playing political games in elections (which is exactly what they are not supposed to do, according to what I heard Shapiro say).

Call me an old cynic, but are the tactics of Bush's people to attempt to manipulate the political process getting more visible, or are we getting better at spotting them? Or perhaps are they not working so well anymore and it's started getting harder to do them?

Wade.


Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

All three. News blogs and the mass press no longer act is Bush supporters has provided better and faster coverage of these events. And the closer it gets to the end of the Bush administration, the less ability they have to manipulate things.

New The press is no longer fully complicit
Just mostly. Also the opposition blogs are more organized and harder to ignore. Propaganda is no longer so easy with the web as back channel.
