Lousy Records Of Incumbents Go Unexplored

Some of the longest-serving members of Congress, whose party has overwhelming majorities in both houses, are having far closer election races than they are used to. These include Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, not to mention 18-year veteran Sen. Barbara Boxer.

Despite their long records, they seem to want to talk about everything except their records. They could tell us why they voted for ObamaCare and huge stimulus bills, without time enough to read them. Instead, they've come up with enough red herrings to stock an aquarium.

Sowell makes another dead on the money analysis.

[Harry Reid] has what Thorstein Veblen once called a "versatility of convictions." So do a lot of "experienced" politicians. Instead of talking about the track records of people who have been wielding power in Washington for years, much of the mainstream follows the scent of the red herrings that have been dragged across their trail and focuses on the personal lives of the candidates challenging the incumbents.

As always, Sowell nails it. Either the MSM is totally stupid (a real possibility) and is dominated by left-thinking liberals (also very possible) or they are complicit in the duping of America to foist their beliefs on an ill-informed American public. The latter probably holds the most truth...
