All kidding aside- how many believe we are being mislead by the government about pretty much everything?

Question

I do

Answer 1

not mislead, not us; no they would never do a thing like that! besides you cannot mislead without first leadding understand! a good example of this will be in the up coming election for the provicial gov't in canada province of ontario. their trying to pull a fast one, the referandum is just that. they wish to change the existing system with a new one. The new one; being that which ever party has the greatest list of voters,gets to form the gov't of the province. so wheather you vote or not it would not matter anyway. all they would have to do is call you on the phone and ask if you would vote for them in order to add you to their lists its like taking away the vote from voters.only the lame would agree to this change.And to add to that my guess is that they'd most likely be able to stay in office even longer then they do now...notice how you do not know of anything about this referrandum in a large scale public way. They will down play it untill october,untill it comes time to vote. As to not give voters a chance to form educated idea as to what the Gov't is doing. Keeping this in mind to answer your Question; Absolutely ME TO. Besides when was the last time they came out with a decent tax cut say like 35% tax cut in income tax? most tax payers are tired over taxed and fed up,and as far as we are concerned it does not matter which party is in office their all the same.

Answer 2

The war is about oil and money, not about toppling dictators. Our "allies" Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are run by un-elected dictators. Government is too powerful and have little to no concern for its citizens, all we are to our government is sheep.

Answer 3

Consider this:

"It's embarrassing that George W. keeps trying to deceive the American public about developments in Iraq, but it's shameful that the media establishment blithely goes along, parroting Bush's deceit.
Take Bush's high-pressure push to ram his new oil law through the Iraqi Parliament. The official line is that this is a healing measure that would provide for a fair distribution of oil profits among Iraq's Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds - and its passage is the number one non-military benchmark that the White House has set to measure Iraqi 'progress'.
Major media outlets in our country have swallowed Bush's line whole, frequently and unquestioningly reporting that, for some reason, those quarrelsome Iraqis can't even agree on something as basic as sharing oil revenues.
Truth is, this is not about sharing profits, but about a cynical power grab by multinational oil giants. Big Oil got the Bushites to write a provision into the proposed law that would open two-thirds of Iraq's oil fields to ownership by foreign corporations - unlike Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Iran which all control their oil drilling and extraction.
In short, the law would force Iraq to surrender sovereignty over its most valuable economic resource - and that's why it is not passing. One thing the nation's politicians all can see is just how vehement public opposition to Big Oil's law is.
So when you see stories about Bush, Cheney and others imploring Iraq's Parliament to pass this new law - remember, they're not promoting national reconciliation, they're promoting a shameful oil scam."**

From its very first day, this 'war' was all about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING. 675,000 Iraqis have died and 3,800 U.S. soldiers have given their lives so that a handful of wealthy elitists, industrialists and power brokers can become wealthier and more powerful.
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and all their war-mongering associates deserve a special oil-soaked, blood-stained corner of Hell where they can spend eternity, along with:
all 535 members of the most arrogant, cowardly, incompetent, corrupt Republican-led Congress is history that stood by and watched Bush run rip shod over our Constitution
-and -
all 535 members of the most arrogant, cowardly, incompetent, corrupt Democratic-led Congress in history that promised to end this immoral war if we elected them, and - to date - have done absolutely nothing to keep that promise. MAY GOD DAMN THEM ALL!

The Bush administration lied to Congress, hoodwinked the American people, and conned our valiant soldiers into believing there was honorable purpose for this 'war', when - in fact- it was all about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING.
