Anything you have heard from anyone, from any news source, from any pundit, from any internet blogster, from any political commentator, from anyone anywhere, if you've heard it, it doesn't matter.

The 'real' battle is being waged underground, underneath, out of your view, what you see or hear, isn't reality, this country isn't being run by 'presidents' and its not being run by the 'media' its being run by a silent force, out of your earshot and out of your eyesight.

miss piggy? Please. If you're buying into talking points, you're being manipulated. Both sides are guilty of manipulation because they want to win, when deciding who to vote for make sure you realize that if you've heard it or seen it, it doesn't matter.

So, you might say 'if i can't use what i've seen or heard to determine who i want to vote for, how exactly do i make a choice'?

Great question.

I think the first thing you need to address in your mind is that if you're basing your election choice on something you've seen or heard, that would be like walking out of a movie theatre and thinking that the actor who played the villain really IS a villain and what he did in the movie is something he's capable of and likely to do in real life. But, being as smart as you are, when you walk out of that theatre, you know that Bruce Willis or Clint Eastwood didn't really shoot someone and that it wasn't real life.
