i don’t know that we ever had the media but lets be serious- does the GOP fight back???
i had this conversation with someone in the gym this morning and brought up the issue of See BS pushing fake documents to support a BS story on GWB’s national guard service- within 12 hours the story was out those documents were fake- thanks to Free Republic!!! the end result was people at See BS losing jobs....
have we seen any sort of pushback from the GOP like that the past four years?? why are they not demanding stephanie cutter be investigated for colluding with the PAC that employed Joe Soptic??? why are they not going after candy crowley for conveniently have the transcripts at the second debate (which was a lie)? yet somehow schieffer doesn’t have the transcripts of Romney’s op ed at the 3rd debate...any pushback or major protest from the GOP??? and on and on and on...
when it comes to the GOP and the media its like a battered woman who stays with the boyfriend/husband that beats them- if you don’t fight back hard in whatever way you can you will continually get the sh!t beat out of you...
Then maybe we have to fight back for them. Seriously, I have very dear friends who are libertarians, but I can't convince them that they are throwing their votes away. When was the last time a third party candidate won the presidency? Lincoln?
We have to accept that we our only viable alternative at this time is to get a strong voice in the GOP. We have to start at a local level and get conservative candidates in office. But more than the tea party, we have to reach out and get those from the other side to buy in to our ideas for America. We have to convince them that what is good for us is good for them too. We have to share the concepts of hard work, sacrifice, self-reliance, and eventual reward with people to whom those ideals are foreign concepts. We have to find a way to show them that government reliance is enslaving them and that free handouts come at a heavy price. The price is their children's lives, but the media and the democrat party won't admit it.
