It is crazy.

I think talk show hosts are hesitant to say the public is ignorant and uninformed.

And that the MSM are keeping them that way.

Twenty out of the last 26 years(since 1980) the Republicans have held the whitehouse, and 12 out of those 26 years they've held both houses.
The media and Hollywood do not really have that big of an effect on elections, or else you would never see a conservative elected to office.

Nah. That's what Democrats say when they lose elections. And they are not the correct descriptions anyway.

The American people (10-percent of Republicans anyway) were depressed, and mis-informed.

And probably some other descript adjectives.

There were thousands of Republicans who yesterday would not agree to come to the polls and vote.

We called them from the GOP headquarters, but they wouldn't answer the phone, nor would they drive to the polls.

Methinks they allowed themselves to believe the PMSNBC-PMSDNC brainwash machine which claimed a "wageless" economic growth, and that "America is less safe today than it was five years ago."

I realize the GOP always must fight the mainstream media, but this time the mainstream media was brutal brutal, and more brutal against the GOP.

And before anyone says the GOP failed to put out its message, I have to inject the fact that it takes something to at-least-halfway-honestly express that message, and not just Fox News.

I hate to use the cliche to blame the media, but in the race here in eastern Penna, the newspapers took every single talking point accusation from the Dem candidates, and I mean EVERY SINGLE TALKING POINT, and ran with them as if they were truisms that the country had already decided.
