Amanpour Explains Away Looming Dem Defeat: Policies 'Successful' But 'Messaging' Not

Those Democrats were just too focused on doing the right thing for the American people. And gosh darn it, they were "successful."

Unfortunately, in their determination to save the country, they forgot about "politics" and "messaging." That's why they're facing defeat at the polls two days from now. So went Christiane Amanpour's rationalization on GMA today.

"Amanpour"

I've read a number of articles by similar foreigners who think they know America. They sound painfully exasperated at the lack of appreciation by many Americans concerning the "wonderful" things government can for us. They simply can't imagine why we wouldn't want government do everything including wiping our behinds if it had the power. Their ignorance about what makes most Americans tick is the sad part.

Why did W.C. Fields allow Joe Biden to put his hand on his leg? And why is Fields dressed like a state trooper?

That's why I've grown so weary of the many lists of "best countries to live in" and the discussions I've had with foreigners over the years about America's healthcare system and the role of government in our lives. They simply refuse to accept that Americans (those not brainwashed by liberalism) don't WANT the government "giving" them stuff. We want to take care of ourselves, thanks, so butt out.

They just don't "get" us. Their loss.

Anyone ask why you should expect a govt to have the right programs and policies when they are incompetent at explaining the benefits to the public. It is much easier for a surgeon to explain the surgery than to actually perform it.Any successful surgeon knows this.As does any teacher who asks a student how he solved the math problem. If you can’t explain what you did, you didn’t do it right.

You know what, Christi Wan Kenobi? Your Jedi mind tricks just don’t have the same oomph they used to. The force is no longer with you professional Leftists.
