This sounds awfully lot like someone whining about the refs after a sports game. We've won plenty before against the MSM and some of that was before Fox and the internet. What lost us this race was an inept and disorganized campaign. I mean what was our message this time? Did we have much of a unified one?
Smooth Talker,
Republican win elections because most Americans agree with the GOP and not the leftists that dominate the Democrat Party. The problem for the GOP is getting their message out and an inability or unwillingness to take on the media and call them on their propoganda.
Fox news reaches maybe two million peole an evening, ABC, CBS, and NBC alone reach about 26 million homes a night. You throw in the network cable affiliates, the print media including AP, the New York Times, Washington Post, etc. and It's absolutely no contest. The number of Americans being propagandized every day by the traditional media dwarfs all forms of conservative media. If it were not for talk radio we would really be in the tall grass.
Our real battle is not with the Democrats, they are easy to defeat when they are shown for who they really are. Our battle is with the media who shill for them and conceal their true nature, actions, and beliefs. Until we go after the media for theri hostility to the GOP and conservative ideals we will always struggle to win elections.....even when most Americans believe as we do.

We had one? A "message" I mean?
If so, could have fooled me.
Sure the MSM was in the tank for the Dhimis and stabbed us in the back, the front, the side and every which way they could, but I think if we had been unified behind an actual agenda, (like the 1994 Contract) we would have done much better.
Hate to admit this, but Newt's looking awfull good, right about now.
In Oklahoma we returned our three Republican Congressmen and one new Congresswoman Mary Fallin who replaced Istook.
At the Statewide level, we took a bath. Worst run campaigns ever. We won ONE race. There was no coherent message at all and no one was on the same page.
