I think it is apparent that the MSM is not only eager to see such, but is apparently willing to run articles ad nauseam to boost this idea.
Well, I won't be swayed by such blatant manipulation by the MSM. I fought too hard against the madness of the Assault Weapons Bill back when the Democrats ran the show; I never want to have to repeat that futile effort to stop such a stupid bill. And I can guarantee you those socialists in the Democratic party will bring such stupid bills up with great rapidity.
The Republicans may be timid about going after what they want, such as nominating good judges, expanding oil production, and creating new refineries, but the Democrats have no such compunctions.
Simple frustration with Republicans letting themselves be obstructed is nowhere as bad refighting for ground that we have already won.
Yes, the Republicans have been especially politically tone-deaf this year: splitting the base over Harriet Miers' nomination, over amnesty for illegal aliens, over the Dubai Ports deal, all were remarkably inept in an election year. But none of these will be a patch on having to deal with the sheer leftist lunacy that the Democrats will bring on.
I submit the same people who will "stay home" are the same weenies who voted third party in 2000, 2002, and 2004.
Its the usual suspects. They are just being sought out by the drive by media to be represented as the conservative base. Where is a MSM mediot going to find a conservative? They don't know any conservatives.
Notices none of the MSM ever seeks out Rush to interview. He has more listeners DAILY than they have weekly (for some monthly), seems he would have a better pulse.
