Then I came across this image, and the similarities were striking.

The line given to us living in the United States is that it's for our protection, our safety, our order, so that we can go one with our lives, meaning swallowing whole the lies fed to us via the primetime coverage. But who is included in this Our?

The horrible screen behind the podium is distracting, but still more interesting than McCain's speech. He totally stole Obama's "change" line. He mentions the Latina daughter of migrant workers being "American" (unless she doesn't have papers or is an "anchor baby" right?)

What did you think of the speech?

Thankfully, there are some good peeps on the ground there, talking not with the politicos, but with the voters themselves.
Nezua, spoke to supporters of three different candidates and got to their deep motivations as to why they support who they do.
