My point is so what. We achieved our goals and did not suffer at the polls.
We will never be treated fairly by the media, so why worry about it.
Those same lying SOB's aren't just in the media anymore - they've intermarried/intermingled with those in power in the White House and Congress. The hatchet job they did on the Republican Party during the last shutdown will pale in comparison to what they'll do this time.
How so?
They tried that garbage with the sequester and after a couple months people began to realize nobody got hurt.
The pressure is really on the Rats. As all these huge govt bureaucracies get shut down if people go on with their lives without any great distress people will wonder why we need them in the first place. Govt is the Rat base, not the Pubs.
We all know the media will never report anything accurately. We can either become victims of their negativity in our thinking and actions, or we can ignore them and push forward. The Tea Party elected pols know we want them to do the latter. The rest of the Pubs know we are coming after them next if they don't.
You just reminded me of a point I'd forgotten. That's right, people treated the "sequester" like a non-event, some even mocked it.
Excellent point, thanks for mentioning that. I'll have to re-adjust my "people are stupid/low information voter" argument a bit.
