pResedential Debate Coverage, What You Didnt Hear About
18 Oct 2004 22:55 GMTThe United States is a very odd country. The politicians and "leaders" feign strength and freedom, even democracy. But, as we can see from the Presedential debates and history in general, that is simply not true.
The debates started in Miami, Florida. This first meeting was fairly uneventful, but did raise the question of whether pResident Bush was wired his responses. The First Debate: An Inside Look | Pictures | Audio
The second pResedential debate was held in St. Louis, Missouri. The St. Louis October 8th Coalition planned a full day of workshops and protests to the debates, and a good number of people came out. Presedential Candidates, Michael Badnarik (Libertarian Party) and David Cobb (Green Party) engaged in civil disobedience and attempted to enter the debates to let the American public have some kind of choice when they go to the ballot box.

The last debate, in Tempe, Arizona, organized by the October 13 Alliance brought out nearly 1000 people to march. Audio | Coverage and Pictures

"The politicians and "leaders" feign strength and freedom, even democracy. But, as we can see from the Presedential debates and history in general, that is simply not true."
Does this sentence then imply that the politicians and "leaders" are in fact exhibiting the traits that you are trying to say they do not exhibit. Simply not true in your article is directed to the fact that they feign those attributes - I get the point you're trying to make, but get your writing straight before expressing something in text.

We say they feign strength and freedom because they pretend that we (the US as a country) have them, but indymedia readers know that we do not have freedom, and our strength (military, economic, etc.) is waning or being mis-spent. Either Bush et al. know this too, or he is a bigger fool than we could have guessed.
