This depressing stat also explains why Bush-Rove (and I) thought the GOP would defy the pre-election polling and win or at least hold with high turnout. They were quite sure of this, as was I. For all the GOP faults, I thought people on the right would vote as strong as ever to keep the Dems out of power. A lesson for us all as to why that didn't happen...
Me too, and the early indications were, at least in OH, that they WERE voting in 2002-level numbers or higher.
The typical American watches CNN or one of the alphabet networks for their news. These sources blatantly unmasked their bias this past election cycle.
No matter what program you went to....Olberman, Matthews, Leno, Letterman, Stewart, Dobbs, Maher...
No matter what concert you attended...Dixie Chicks, Barbra Streisand, Rolling Stones, U-2,...no matter what entertainment interview, it was anti-Bush 24/7 354 days a year.
Bottom line...if Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were alive today, they'd be jailed for inciting violence.
I feel very badly for my children for the United States we baby boomers are leaving to them.
