Now that the Sheep have been Indoctrinated

The following is an excerpt from a Book Written by GEORGE LAKOFF. The book title:
"The Political Mind: Why you can't understand 21st Century American Politics' with an 18th Century Brain."

"Why do conservatives regularly vote against their own self interest? Unless we understand our unconscious beliefs by bringing them to conscious awareness, we are forever at the mercy of those who understand how to manipulate us by discussing those topic from a place of fear...abortion, terrorist, family, children, beliefs in God, faith, sexuality, ethnicity, gangs, disease, aging, etc. Our Political system has devolved to strategizing how best to trigger the emotions (unconscious beliefs)of the opponents(s)as the primary tool for manipulating people into agreeing with them. Fear is usually the basis of most of our unconscious beliefs. When our fears are triggered, We NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THE FACTS".

DOES THE ABOVE SOUND FAMILIAR? Yes, we are sheep, and have been manipulated by this group of neoconservatives who have infested the Republican Party for the past 8 years.

McCain will be more of the same, he is too set in his ways to change, he is 72 years old. McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time a true Bush follower. Palin is a neoconservative who will change nothing in the White House except to make the neocons more extreme if that is possible. The negatives that surround her cannot be tolerated in a White House administration.

This Country cannot tolerate another 4 years of these neoconservatives((wolves in sheep clothing) so called republicans, who in 8 years have almost destroyed this Great Country.

Boo boo and the rest of the liberal sheep, you really prove your worth by following and believing anything Lakoff presents. A professor at the liberal bastion of Berkley, he is known for being the father of cognitive-linguistics, he wants to frame the mind to think in one way while ignoring the reality or true feelings, sounds familiar: liberals having problems with the truth?.

According to Owen Flanagan, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, Lakoff’s insight is “that successful politicians know how to use emotionally appealing narratives to rally support “. Sounds like the Obama doctrine, doesn’t it? Make it sound nice, have people buy into empty ideas and rhetoric but offer no real solutions.

All Lakoff is a spin master and puppet of the democrats, especially the left wing liberals. I’m not surprised you have quoted him, juts as you would Wolf Blitzer or any other one of his cheerleaders. There is hope in this country and CHANGE id coming as the Obama machine is coming unraveled since Sarah Palin’s pick as VP candidate. And now that Obama has decided to attack McCain’s POW injuries, especially to his hands, in a new ad mocking the fact that he can’t send e-mails, he has hit a new low.

So tell me BoBo, who are the sheep now?

Obama has decided to attack McCain’s POW injuries, especially to his hands, in a new ad mocking the fact that he can’t send e-mails, he has hit a new low.

What is this ? John Mccain says "he does NOT know how to use a computer nor how to send emails".

Show me a link to such an ad mocking McCain's injuries as a POW ?
