“Rather than a pendulam I think of an amplitude modified sinusoidal curve. If Mc Cain is considered as a liberal, then he represents an amplitude limited liberal null following what some would say is a somewhat amplitude limited Bush high.”
As an Electronics Technician, I actually understand your analogy. Unfortunately, I still don’t agree with it. :)
The problem is the MSM represents a diode, biased to only allow public opinion to swing on one side of the zero Volt reference point, thus nulling all current flow in opposition to their bias.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. :)
We at least agree on one point.
In November 2000 I became convinced that before we could prevail we must harness the media. It is now 7 years later and we have made great strides in that direction. Talk radio rules, the newspapers are hemorrhaging readers and in decline, the blogworld can destroy media icons.....all unthinkable in 2000.
Now you tout liberals as a temporary place holder. On the first day of that place holding there will be calls and legislation for implementing the fairness doctrine. The DOD will be directed to remove Rush from Armed Forces Radio, Free Republic will be taxed into oblivion.
Rather than do nothing about the offending diode, election of a Republican will be like installing a switch that has the effect of removes it from the circuit.
