nice try Nebe, those are the sorry facts...here are some examples of demagoguery

POSTED by NEBE:

"well... there is this little thing about the electronic voting machines
Wally O'Dell, CEO of Diebold (maker of most electronic voting machines), said in a republican fundraising...


i am sure Diebold and all of the freaks out there that try to restrict people from getting to the voting machines will be doing everything they can to make sure that wont happen likwid



Whe needs debates??? DIEBOLD will sort out the mess and deliver a swift victory



Dont count on it passing if the voting machines were made by DIEBOLD "




Demagogy (also demagoguery) (Ancient Greek δημαγωγία, from δῆμος dēmos "people" and ἄγειν agein "to lead") refers to a political strategy for obtaining and gaining political power by appealing to the popular prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist or populist themes.

I think Nebe hit the nail on the head with this one. How you can derive much of anything from a silly analysis like this is beyond me.

So the entire measure of a person's good will towards their fellow man is recorded in their tax return?

I guess there must have been no such thing as charity before the IRS
