Well put. That is pretty much what I think but have never been able to elaborate.
We keep lying to ourselves that the GOP is hamstrung by the msm. No, they are not. Palin proves daily via the internet that the word can bypass the media if one chooses to speak it.
And we lie to ourselves because we don’t want to admit we were wrong. We need to take that hit to our ego, man up and stop doing it. Or we need to just vote Democrat and get to ‘Utopia’ without the need for a middleman.
