There has been so much conventional wisdom offered to the masses to help us all "understand" what this last election really meant.
Most of this mainstream media commentary is not worth the paper it's written on.
But one thing is crystal clear. Fewer people out there in fly over country trust anything coming from FOX news especially, but much of the rest of the mainstream media. Remember ABC News attempts to influence us with their 9-11 mockumentary? Remember all that spin leading up to the election that the Republicans were showing gains in all the polls? Remember all the crap you read, heard, and saw about Saddam's guilty verdict and death sentence being a God send to the Republicans?
Not really all that credible come Wednesday morning was it?
The reality is that Limbaugh, Hannity, Hewitt, and Medved are suddenly naked and without their clothes before the populace. They've been busted. They've been lying. Now they will also drown in all that useless rhetoric they've been spinning. The blogs will hold them accountable in ways that the compromised major media can't.
These men are scared...
Americans did care about their government spying on them.
Americans were concerned about widespread use of torture, abandonment of due process, and our conduct throughout the rest of the world.
Americans did care about corruption, and no, we did not accept that it's just the way things are done in Washington DC.
Americans are increasingly disgusted with the religious right. Why should less than 25% of the voting public control the agenda of the nation? Especially when they are just as gay and meth addicted and cheating on and beating their wives as the so called unsaved?
