First, "And we all want to feel pleasure not pain. Escape death and chance of death." The premise of your argument is not sound. It does not apply to those in addiction. Or those who are suicidal. Or even to the patriotic. All with choose pain or death over survival. Humans are a unique species in that they will do things contrary to their own preservation, to just "give up" on living.

You cannot erase a cell's programming by a few 30 second infomercials, a presidential debate that is largely read about the next day for the highlights, an hour here or there at a rally. There is no possible way that this can be used unless it is an extended, long term use. And even this would only work if most of the population paid attention to these things. Not many people I know make sure they are in front of their television, radio whenever a candidate will be on. So the exposure is WAY to limited to have any sort of affect.
