As a general principle no conversations have involved more varied opinions than discussions about the supposed conservative media and their seeming cognitive dissonance when it comes to issues surrounding Senator Ted Cruz.
Some people think these voices were just hoodwinked by Cruz and now their ego wont permit them to admit the falsehood. Others think the pundits are too close to the candidate to see the inherent issues and contradictions; some propose their punditry is connected to financial motives. Perhaps its a combination therein, but many people just cant figure it out...
All of those aforementioned voices know this fact. Limbaugh, Levin, Beck and Loesch are not stupid, they know the construct of how this all came down.
You see, it takes an intentional action to ignore the truth of how Senator Ted Cruz created, supported, and advocated for Trade Promotion Authority. An advocate cannot claim a position fundamentally disconnected from reality without intentionally desiring to do so.
Thats why these pundit voices cannot be just merely making mistakes, flawed thinking, or errors in judgment. Its not intellectual dishonesty at play here, its just flat out ordinary dishonesty.
Lying.

Great summary of Rush’s BS. He’s so dishonest, he’s dead to me.
Obama is soooo happy.
Lyin’ Rush Limbaugh.
Powerful piece. Yes, bookmark worthy.
“Mike Lee cant be trusted because he voted for the corker Bill, same as Cruz and everyone else who voted for that.”
Well, please list the “conservative” members of the Senate, then, because most of the lists I have seen have Lee at the top of the list.
and why does Trump hate Dubya so much?

W was a rotten Establishment president. His dad was no prize either.
Are there any conservatives in our government?
Don’t think so.
I’ve never seen any of them do anything conservative.
Nothing.
Ted & the gang sided with the savages that evening.....it was one of the most disgraceful things I’ve ever witnessed in politics. This article does a great job in explaining just what Cruz did & how he did it. It’s funny that this article was composed by the guy who was a “supermarket manager” as Levin said; in an effort to degrade the guy....
“Glenn Beck did not lose his Fox TV show because of bad ratings, he lost it because Fox News couldnt find advertisers for his show. If sponsors were willing to pay for Becks 5:00pm News Hour, hed still be on TV. It was the financial boycotting that drove him out.”
Interesting (not reading any further). I cannot listen to them any more. I’d rather listen to the sounds of nature, the sounds in the neighborhood, or the sounds of traffic on the road.

DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. (they’re defunding us from our time of life)
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic. (they’ve depopulated us from the body politic)
It’s easy to
live - free - republic
What? Did Lewandowski grab that witch’s t!t?
‘Controlled opposition’ I believe is the term.
Exhibit A 2010 midterms. Exhibit B 2014 midterms. Those GOPes were elected on promises they never kept. The conservative radio talkers didn’t make a point of holding them accountable, either. (except, maybe, Ingrahm)
In years past I have been an insatiable conservative media addict. This election season finally finished the process I’ve gone through in realizing the truth. Conservative media is a business, nothing more. It’s pundits are masters at straddling the Conservative fence and reading trends in majority Conservative opinions and trends just like stock brokers. They most certainly know all the details and underlying truths but it’s their bread and butter to know what to say and what not to say. They’re also masters at saying things that can be interpreted in different ways.
Donald J. Trump, whether it was intentional or not, exposed them in such a way as render them and their rhetoric useless abd clearly manipulative for their own ends. In the same way, the Liberal media has been exposed as blatant propaganda.
WTF are you talking about? Have you been listening to these guys? They have been lying. They are not like the founders in any way. They get paid for us to listen, and buy books. They need to keep the gravy train rolling.
I confess that when I read your post, I was not familiar with this term.
So I googled it.
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves. -Vladimir Lenin
Christ. If that ain’t exactly what is going on.
So I am reading about this now and trying to educate myself.
