It's kind of difficult to believe that someone who doesn't know the difference between gross and net, is working on buying a business that either grosses or nets more than $250,000. Sorry, that one doesn't pass the smell test. Hell, I suck at business, but even I know the difference.

I was listening to this disscussion about propaganda last night, and McCain's use of the fictional character he invented and named, "Joe the Plumber", is a classic form of propaganda. If McCain's agenda wasn't counter to the best interests of the majority of people whose votes he is trying to get, he wouldn't need to invent fictional characters like Joe the Plumber, and "Sarah the Reformer" (and John the Maverick). If his agenda wasn't contrary to the best interests of the majority of voters, he would be able to just run on his platform without the propaganda.

It's pretty amusing to see anyone compare Obama's positions to nailing jello on the wall, seeing as how McCain's positions change almost daily. That's another reason McCain has to use propaganda. He can't run on his platform, because it's constantly changing.
