It's said that a lie travels around the world, before the TRUTH ever takes off.

If ANYTHING, this election should have told us how true that really is.

And you don't counter by RESPONDING to thier attacks, you counter by DRIVING the agenda forward, before they ever get a chance to lie...

We got complacent, and forgot that the way we won in the first place was "ATTACK,ATTACK,ATTACK!"

CNN should NEVER have gotten by with soliciting footage of Americans being killed from our enemies, for example.

In fact, they should have been AFRAID to show it, for fear that it would shut thier business down through boycotts! But they aren't, and it's because we cannot get the truth out above the din...

THAT is a leadership problem, more than anything else..

Again, we grow stones, or we pay a hefty price for not doing so...

"Bush Lied" about Iraq. We KNOW this is a LIE, we HAVE THE PROOF that this is a lie, and yet the Dem Media Machine has driven this point home so often that it is now an accepted FACT... "

Do you have any links to the proof, because the Dem Media have lots of links and articles that seem well researched, lie by lie, like this

or this

So id like to see the proof that their proof are just lies, to rebuke them.

Thanks for the post and thanks for your work. I agree with your sentiments. I think we under estimate the power of the national media at our own peril. The media may be a shell of its former omnipotent self, but it still has the ability to create false realities through its 24/7 constant daily barrage of spouting the lies put out by the libs. After a couple of years, it has to have an effect on the otherwise uninformed masses. The truly remarkable performance of the economy following Bush's tax relief initiatives should have been a driving impetus in this election, but the MSM saw to it that such would not be the case.

My own experience at the polls was to listen to some nitwit rave about some nonsense he had read in the newspaper about one of the candidates. He must have repeated "It was in the newspaper" six times, and he made a ten minute wait seem like an hour. It made me nauseous to think that "here is the kind of idiot we depend upon to elect the people hold hold so much power".

Finally, the Republican Party Establishment is to blame as well. If they had done a better job in advancing a conservative, common sense agenda, instead of getting caught up in the trappings of high office and trying to appease the dimocRATS, then this media fueled debacle could not have been possible.

Here is the challenge for the next 2 years--Do not let the dims and the media get away with selling the idea that the Pubbies have to become "more moderate" to win, because the exact opposite is true. They better rally the base or else they will be on the back rows for a long time to come. Turning things over to the dims for any extended period of time will be a disaster.
