PJ Media

Very well put David Jones. I would only add a few general observations.

First, never forget that the MSM has two motivations concerning diverting attention, one overt and the other subliminal. The media ALWAYS promots every election cycle as a horse race because that is what attracks viewers – and – remember who it is that profits most from our for profit elections. The twenty million John Mcshamnesty has spent to buy his legacy senate seat was the true media market stimulus here in Phoenix. While his tawdry spending spree is disguisting enough – glance at what folks like Meg Whitman are spending.

And yet some pundit popeye’s are still trying to sell the public that Dems will have a decisive money advantage in this cycle? It’s bunk. Just like the last Prez cycle set spending records – this congressional cycle will as well – mark my words. Literally everywhere I look I see a helicopter Ben like carnival going on. This recession has undoubtably skipped political spending.

SPEAKING OF CARNY ACTS; The second subliminal is that everyone EXCEPT THOSE WHO WORK THERE recognize the MSM tilts so far left that they can grab their own ankles and kiss their own arse anytime they please. And since being besotted with Obama from the beginning you can factor UP the normal lean by a power of 10.

So anytime I HEAR ONE WORD of advice or observation that I believe is important – I LOOK FOR ANOTHER THREE SOURCES – NET/PRINT/TV – before truely buying it myself. It’s the old Reagan principle when dealing with the Soviets – ‘trust but verify.’

The final observation is that conservatives are poised to have their BEST SINGLE ELECTION CYCLE AT THE STATE LEVEL IN THE LAST 100 YEARS! Just think about that for a moment. Let it sink in, savor it, and find comfort in the storm there.

One among the many reasons that Reagan was a transformational president is that he began a shift towards conservatism at the state level. A complete 180 degree flip by the time he left office. It signified the end of the New Deal thru Great Society remnantes – some 60 + years of dominance. And just as he wasn’t given full credit for finalizing the cold war until he was gone and the Berlin Wall came down in ’89, the real credit for Gingrich and the Pub’s coming in ’94 belongs to him as well. In essence it took Reagan some fifteen years to build it – and by the ’06 cycle – Bush had it crumbling.

Those State Governments that were once overwhelmingly in the Republican column had turned into a rough parity by Obama’s election. To emphasize just how the country has rejected Obama’s statism/keynsian economic revival – these elections are now projecting again back to Republicans.

I submit that bolsters just what David Jones says – and repudiates what we all are hearing in the media; that the Republicans (at something like 24% approvial ‘lower than even the Democrates’)have failed to promote a ‘contract with America’ focal point and thus are in danger of missing the oppertunity the Democrates present.

Since I’ve read that many folks like Charlie Cook see 24-27 Governorships headed Republican, and statehouses, even if to a less dramatic degree, headed that way also, it prompts a very important question.

How come nobody is predicting any possible ‘upstream’ vote going the same way? Why shouldn’t Republicans benifit from this momentum?

The cynic in me is almost ready to conclude the only rational reason nobody mentions it is because a MSM overwhelmingly populated with those sympathetic to progressive liberals are disinclined to so speculate, since it would basically constitute sleeping with the enemy. Sorta like joining the Journolist without the perks and all the potential liabilities.

I could be wrong, as could David Jones, but I’m not buying it. Obama and Pelosi chose to govern by pushing a far left adgenda down the countries throat – Just like LBJ from ’65-’68. Thankfully thus far, despite the bogus claims of bigotry and malevalence, the Tea Party hasn’t set the Northeast on fire via riots – as the country suffered the last time around.

Instead we have people like Michelle Bachman forming a new Tea Party Caucus, and the movement in general leading the charge to HOPE AND CHANGE from within the system.

They will put Pelosi in her place, as a minority-leader tit mouse from the left coast with little power other than to bitch and moan, before taking (hopefully soon) a lucrative posting in some think tank or an organization like Bill Clinton’s global busybodies.

And as David Jones says at the end, Republicans will inherit the responsiblity to fix this economy and turn O-man into a 1 term Affirmative Action pain in the kiester.
