I liked the post from centerfieldbleachers(?) We are playing in a fixed game. The fix is in the press and electronic media. The truth is rarely reported . If X happens, then Y is reported . If Z happens then it simply ignored . If any event has a potential negative value for damaging Dems then it is spun or twisted so the significance is warped. If a Republican makes a statement he gets clobbered by distortion or demonizing comparisons . The public perception is being shaped and formed from the moment we pick up the morning paper , boot up the computer or turn on the car radio . The liberal media has been following this dream since Marshal Mc Luhan invented the phrase ” the media is the message” back in the early 60′s. His advocacy has created the mess we now find ourselves in. The only truth that exists is what communications/political/financial empires allow to exist. In other words , filtered BS.
To expect the Republican Party to overcome this stacked struggle and elect good conservatives who will stand up to those evil liberals is rather hopelessly naive .The peoples anger will wane or be dissuaded or distracted by some media concocted circus that when 2010 rolls around the issue will be something entirely favorable to the Democrats .
Putting your faith in men or governments is nonsense.Find some other place to invest your energy and expectation ,men and politics will always disappoint .
