It never ceases to shock me to see the media elite bias. If we all recall, Bush has a fairly decent growing economy, a huge 9-11 bump, an initially popular Iraq war, including capturing Saddam and killing his spawn, low unemployment, and a really good 2002 mid-term where we picked up seats. The party was on the ascendancy. The media proceeded to build up every possible Dem opponent (starting with Dean), and putting all their effort to take down Bush.

The media proceeded to browbeat the guy 24/7 about dead soldiers, and brought his numbers down...and created the false narrative of ‘lying to go to war’. If not for these propaganda techniques, Bush would have sailed to reelection with ease. Unfortunately, the anti-war sentiment did begin taking hold in the 12 months before the mid-term which made it close.

Now we have the polar opposite. Disastrous economy, high prices and dangerous unemployment, no growth, no economic optimism, a massive destruction of the Democratic party at all levels in the mid-terms, and the media propping up the stooge responsible while trying to destroy the opposition field.

EXACTAMUNDO ilgipper....

What was that saying, A lie can travel half way round the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes?

The Media spent eight, make that ten years lying about the Bush Presidency. Even rational (but misinformed) people ended up hating President Bush by the time Odumbo showed up.

Even today, we have to refute the lies since the Liberals use them to make Obama look like the guy fixing all those nasty things that Bush started.

Imagine if 95% of “Journalists” were Republicans instead of Democrats like they are today. Imagine...
