Dang, that spin would impress even the Duncan Yo-Yo Man.
If Mao and Che were running Pelosi would be positively right wing.
Unfortunately, clarity is the first thing either side sacrifices when they place their own agenda above all else.
Check old FR posts after the 2005 elections - losing was winning, it didn’t mean anything, losing a few elections was actually good for conservatives, etc. It was damn comical at the time - I confess, I laughed.
Then the bottom fell out in election 2006. Undaunted, the spin continued - conservatives didn’t really lose, it’s a good thing, we’ll win it again in 2008, etc.
It’s spin all right. But spin sometimes works. Otherwise, the Clintons would have faded from the scene a long time ago.
Remember, there are a lot of clueless voters out there. Just look at the spin coming out of the Democrats’ homosexual debate. Almost all the stories are about how the Dems “disappointed” the homos by opposing same sex “marriage”. Now, all of us here at FR know this is all a scam. The Dem candidates all favor same sex “marriage” and are lying about it, and the homo activists are just pretending to be “disappointed”. It’s all a ruse to make the ‘Rats look moderate enough to win the election.
Likewise, a dozen or so big news reports featuring Sheehan calling Pelosi a right-wing tool of the U.S. military could make the ‘Rats appear sane to voters who rely on the MSM for news.
