Because we make the HUGE mistake of thinking that said “rich conservatives” are on our side. Rush says what he thinks we want to hear, as do most of them. They are NOT interested in being Conservative or Conservative governance, they are only interested in their brand and making money. Do not think for ONE instant that these people are like you and I and making America great again through Conservatism.
They are interested in one thing ... money.
And for those that don’t realize how badly we were played the last election need to wise up.
I have given up completely on all media including the “conservative” ones. Face it. The conservative media lied to us BIG time last cycle. And as long as any of us think that Fox, Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly (the list goes on) are on our side, this nightmare will continue.
It goes without saying that the liberal media lies to us regularly, but the Conservative side is EQUALLY as bad. The only difference is the Conservative one says what we want to hear.
Follow the media anymore and you can write off America. She’s done.
Hard to disagree with what you said. So I won’t. Bul I’ll add this.
Conservative media lies to conservatives because conservatives (in the modern sense) WANT to be lied to.
I harp on it regularly. When you look at how easily supposed conservatives tuned into raving fanboys with Romney (and the ‘He sounds like Reagan’ crap was everywhere by election day) it’s no wonder the ConservMedia caters to that market. Because fact on the ground show that a few well placed words by the right people send herds stampeding into whatever camp they’re told.
Sure, there was chaos in the primaries. Ever wonder why? So they could create that stampede perhaps? To a fully Liberal candidate? And most did. And trashed anyone who would not join the cause. And most refused loudly to let a little thing like principle slow their march to the sea.
But conservatives seem to enjoy the hamster wheel/rat maze. Because instead of supporting and doing what they claim to be right, they just search for someone to tell them what is and lead them. Amd compromise their way into getting the opposite of what they want.
If one knows what is right, one should do that. And ‘compromise’ is the sure path to not ending up with what you know to be right.
Simple math. But I guess Barbie was right afterall. Math is HARD.
Right.
Those ‘conservative’ pundits and talkshow hosts, etc., are more at being entertainers. THEY actually thrive when the opposition is in the leadership positions.
