So, like many of you, we have been entranced by this election. We read every article and listen to every political show. We are excited and involved.
Today I was at the gym and I was eavesdropping on some older men who were psuedo-weightlifting. I was AMAZED at how direct their speech was out of the media. Neither party used their own language, instead they used the EXACT words of the media!!!! It seemed that 2 of them were for Obama and 1 for McCain and it went something like this....
M: You can't vote for Obama, he'll redistribute your wealth!
O: I don't have any wealth! Do you want to have another 4 more years of Bush?
M: McCain isn't more Bush, he's a maverick and has the record to prove it!
O: I am looking for change.
M: You just wait, you'll get change, but it might not be change for the good!
O: Obama is going to cut taxes on social security and help with my health benefits.
M: He's not going to cut taxes, he says he is but it is all lies. He is lying about everything he says.
O: Well, I'm excited no matter what you say. Obama promises no income tax for seniors making less than $50,000 and that includes me.
M: We'll talk about this again when Obama takes all the money out of all of your bank accounts and you won't know what happened. You can't trust him, I tell ya.
I'm dead serious. How many of these words were put directly into their mouths! I wonder what an election would look like WITHOUT the oversaturation of media.....
