PUBLIC OPINION DOESN'T "COUNT"

John Ross' interesting narrative reveals the varying ways in which Mexican elections are manipulated; media complicity, selective disenfranchisement, propaganda...Eugene Robinson shows the plot thickening considerably, as Greg Palast suggests something really big brewing...

Meanwhile, as opinion polls reveal that two-thirds of the American public want a withdrawal from Iraq, George W. Bush, beneficiary of two rigged elections, goes on television to tell everyone, I'd rather be right than popular. Opinion, schpinion. We're in power! Who says money can't buy bourgeois democracy?
