It is obvious that frequently ideology trumps facts. Critical case in point: The Iraq War. Obama, McClatchy News and myself thought the reasons for the Iraq War were bogus from he start.NOne of use are genius but used simple math (1+1=2) to come to our conclusions. The Media and most of the electorate had not recovered from 9/11 and this emotional component was used to boldly manipulate the "facts" during the run up to the war but the Bush White House. Ideology trumped facts. Big Time.
Now the emotion of the economy is going to be the factor in this election. Who would have guessed that even 6 months ago the economy would take center stage and out shine even this historic election. Right now as we write the Congress is locked in battle. The Bush Republicans, like always, want to rush off and fix things with little process or negotiation. They are either too fast (Iraq) or too slow (Katrina) on fixing things. It needs to be done right and who cares if John McCain (attempting to act like a leader) doesn't go to the Debates tonight? Anyone?
I hate to be succinct here but...STOP buying anything SONY...Hit them in their pocketbook and let them know you are going to stop buying their products. Letters have more of an impact but e-mails can work as well.

Sony being the pig (sp-ham) and the buyer being the eggs? "But I don't like sp-ham"
