Such a shame not every American (especially young) will see this movie...It really sums up everything about American politics.

The most incredible documentary I've ever seen.

I own this DVD. My father, my mother and I watched this movie this week. I am 44, my mom and dad are 70 and 73. They nodded their heads along with me while we watched this. It does not matter what political ideals you hold dear, what matters is the matter and manner in which you present your ideals for either approval or dismissal. Always deal from the top of the deck, and you'll always have a clean conscience. Deal from the bottom, and you'll never know if you really would have won or not

@jbugko Your father probably played with you as well. Too bad your brain stayed at the 4-year-old level

@jbugko Cool story bro

[MrGrevy]

@jbugko Hahah tell me more conspiracy theories you illiterate wacko. Hope you're not the next Loughner you sick goofy moron.

[MrGrevy]

@jbugko And you say that without a hint of irony! Amazing.

When I was four, my father let me play with some confederate money and all during my early childhood I was under the impression that "confederate"e meant "fake" because he told me "that's confederate money, it's fake money." now I know better and realize it means phony, as well as willfully ignorant and bigoted,

@MrGrevy

You right-wing nutjobs have always got "worship" rattling around in your brain - no wonder you can be manipulated so easily by someone like Roger Ailes, who is actually employing a simple strategy. A simple strategy for a simplistic audience. Goebbel's propaganda mixed in with right-wing xenophobia, sensationalism, thrown out to ignorant dupes who would rather "worship" a leader than think for themselves or critically analyze any turdblossom they've been fed on a fake "news" sta.

@MrGrevy

He was a "scumbag politics" officianado. And so is Roger Ailes, president of Fox "News" who leads his audience around by their noses like a herd of ignorant cattle.

[jbugko]

Roger Ailes co-produced some of the ads and worked alongside Lee Atwater. Roger Ailes, who went before the FEC on ethics violations along with the Republican National Committee but was let go when the commission was deadlocked in deciding whether or not to throw him in jail - is now the president of Fox "News" - now Fox "News" get led like a herd of ignorant cattle. And they wonder why they're told they're too lazy to think for themselves. I take that back; actually they don't.

Pity.

This documentary is available on Netflix. Pass the info on so more know about it.

Has anyone noticed how much the Republican party cries nowadays? Now that this type of scumbag politics has become the norm for the Republicans, it is taking on a transformation to a level of self-absorbed peurile behavior that one usually finds in three-year olds who blame their soiled diapers on anyone cleaning up after them.

Too bad a lot of people don't vote during the mid-terms & teanuts learned where their voting districts are. Now we have a clown show for 2 years.
