My knee jerk response is to say so what! But as I thought on this more a troubling scenario emerged in my thought processes. The country seems to be split 40% hard core right and 40% hard core left. That leaves the middle 20% up for grabs. These undecideds could not have an easier choice to make. Free market capitalism vs socialism. Yet they are undecided. My take is they are not sure about anything and are waiting for someone to decide for them, Gemini’s if you will.
That is why the press needs to be free and OBJECTIVE. If they are in the tank for one side then how can the election be fair? The polls have short lag time behind whatever narrative the press is pushing. My wife and are constantly saying who do they think they are fooling with this coverage. The truth is they are not trying to influence me. They are after the Gemini’s. Obama can say I don’t know Ayers until the election and he knows the press will not call him on it. Here is the important thing, they will cover it to an extent but will not show outrage like they do about say a Sarah Palin supporter saying what the press believes her supporters secretly feel. Gemini’s respond to that emotion.
We are under siege. It has been the analogy of the frog in the slowly warming water. Do you notice it getting uncomfortable to be a conservative? Colin Powel has. As has C. Buckley, Sullivan, Parker and the likes. We must push back or the fairness doctrine will be enacted in the two areas where free speech reign, radio and the net.
