        Blame the people that don't vote.
        Blame the people that follow the crowd.
        Blame the people that want a nanny state.
        Blame the people that never demand proof.
        Blame the people that don't think for themselves.
        Blame the people that strictly vote along party lines.
        Blame the people that vote by party and not by issue.
        Blame the people that expect government to provide for them.
        Blame the people that rely on the media to feed them the truth.
        Blame the people that do not do their own research on candidates or issues.
        Blame the people that do not hold our elected officials to their words and actions.

                see, bt, this is an example of the weaknesses of your original presentation being used against your arguments, with logically weak but emotionally effective strawman and adhominem rhetoric.

                by choosing weak rhetorical tactics like the choice of the word "negative" and the line about depression, you make it easy for primitive bagger adhominem and verbal logic counterattacks.

                not to mention positioning yourself as a psudofeminine debater using emotional tactics, making an easy target for the psuedomacho emotional tactics of baggers.

                since you already know that baggers are psuedomacho, there's really no excuse for offering them easy targets.

                        No matter what channel you watch, or what radio show you listen to, The Media has been doing nothing but stoking the flames of hate.

                        The reports are ALL negative - the editorials are ALL negative - instead of offering ANY positive future, it is ALL negative!

                        If politicians from both sides agree on something, it is ignored, and all The Media does is magnify disagreements.

                        Reports show that people who watch too much news are very depressed people.

                        I wonder why....
                        I've always talked about this.
                        Why can't all media, get together and say...Lets talk about Housing Pricing going up, lets talk about how strong the banks are now, Lets talk about how easy it is to get financed.

                        It's all NEGATIVITY and I agree with you 100%.

                        I remember someone I knew, asked this 95 year old man...How are you so healthy, and he said...I don't watch the news, I don't read the Newspaper, and I don't go to funerals.

                        Man, so much depression everywhere, we need more Tony Robbins. But they just canceled his first show because he only had 3 Million Viewers.
