Good read:
TvNewsLIES Exposes THE HOUDINI PROTOCOL TO ELECT GEORGE W. BUSH Contributing Editor - June, 2004
George Bush has not been packaged; he has ââ¬â in fact - been invented
THE REALITY
Iââ¬â¢m really trying to understand it. How in the world can almost half the voting public still believe that George W. Bush belongs in the White House? How in the world can any American, other than the most closed minded member of the extreme right, believe that the man who has taken us into the jaws of hell deserves another term of office? How in the world, indeedââ¬Â¦..
Somewhere in the American psyche there has to be receptor cell that absorbs and processes effective propaganda. Iââ¬â¢m reminded of the toothpaste that sells across the nation because it promises that whiter teeth can lead to everlasting love. Itââ¬â¢s not that Americans are unintelligent or naïve, itââ¬â¢s just that weââ¬â¢re so extraordinarily hopeful. Iââ¬â¢m truly convinced that the people of this country want to believe that good things can happen, because that makes life far more livable. And that, in a strange way, may explain how in the world tens of millions of people have been taken in by Karl Rove.
Harry Houdini was the best. He could make people believe what they knew was not so, and swear to it. He was the grand master of illusion that defied oneââ¬â¢s senses and betrayed oneââ¬â¢s reason. Luckily, Houdini was a performer and an entertainer. Had he been a political strategist, he might have had a serious competitor in Karl Rove.
THE ILLUSION
The presidency is often packaged for public consumption. Standard operating procedure puts the candidateââ¬â¢s best foot forward and disguises or hides his flaws. But George Bush has not been packaged; he has ââ¬â in fact - been invented. It is Roveââ¬â¢s ability to create a man who does not exist that sets him apart as the master magician. It is his uncanny skill at selling voters an imaginary product that has to be exposed. It is vital that the American voter be startled back into reality and realizes what in the world has happened.

Are you saying that Kerry would be better?
