> “It doesn’t matter what the truth is to the media. They will make sure the responsibility is laid heavily on the shoulders of the Republicans. I don’t agree with that, not in the least, but it is a reality.”

This is not reality, this is defeatist.

Fact 1: Liberal media viewership and readership is waning year over year.

Fact 2: Conservative media is growing robustly.

Fact 3: Conservatives form a plurality of voters and a majority if the 6,000,000+ strong blue collar Perot bloc are included.

Of course the New York-DC liberal media will grind it into you that resistance is futile and apparently with you they have succeeded.

But I ask you what prompted Americans to sweep statehouses and the House just a few short years ago against all of the liberal media spin?

Again, I agree, to a certain extent. Yes, conservatives swept a lot of governorships and state houses. Against the media, yes. At the same time, we have the most liberal President in modern history, with the poorest record of any President in modern history, yet he managed to win a second term.

I believe that win is a direct result of two things. First, the media propped him up continually. They played his “war on women” mantra until we were sick to death of it. Second, a majority of American voters bought that crap, even though it was obvious it was a flat out lie.

I am not defeatist. I intend to fight, as I applaud the fight Ted Cruz is waging. I’m just trying to acknowledge the uphill odds we are facing.
