Problem is how many are dienfranchised thinking their vote doesn't matter.

You make a good point, but Rush and other radio talk show hosts don't discuss politics; they spin out partisan rancor. How many Americans can name the Speaker of the House without looking it up? Or explain the process behind the obscenity fines increases becoming law? Now how many can parrot the latest negative story on the President or Kerry? And I am by no means putting all or even more than half of the blame on conservative news sources. Look at the latest furor over the prisoner abuse thing. The AIM news thing that pops had a story linked as "Rumsfeld OK'd Use of Dogs: White House Disavows Memo." Then the title is "Bush Claimed Right to Waive Torture Laws," so I read the article, and it's kind of an exaggeration. I blame the media, and ARTelevision by his admitted association with it.
