I differ with your point of view, on just this one thing:
The media IS trying to keep Palin out.*
How do we know this? Let’s look at how the media operates.
Rick Perry is a good guy and I like him. But he has his own issues that are deeply offensive to conservatives. He is in favor of in-state tuition for illegals. While he claims Gov. Brewer is right to fight the feds as she has, he insists that an AZ-type law “won’t work in TX.” This means he is unwilling to tell big business....NO.
Suddenly the same media that just a month ago decided that Bachmann was bat-chit crazy, suddenly sounds Jeffersonian. You don’t find that a bit odd?
The same woman willing to cut federal funding to the BONE, is in favor of ethanol subsidies, the subsidies to her husband’s psychological practice (via an online diploma mill), her family gets farm subsidies for the family farm they inherited (far as I know, she hasn’t rejected them) and I haven’t even looked into the charter school she supposedly started. Was this completely privately funded? I don’t know.
While MB claims to be someone who has headed and run a business, I see no evidence of that. But I’m willing to be proven wrong and I hope you can. But so far, what I see is someone who has figured out a way to get on the gov’t gravy train, and call it capitalism.
* just watch how much media energy is spent on Kucinich and Ron Paul.
They don’t attack sure losers, do they?
Look I see what Rush Limbaugh sees. Michele Bachmann had a good debate and the MSM is forced to recognize it. So it’s basically a few days of positive coverage. Now that they know she’s not the caricature they portrayed her as they will turn on her.
