"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 01:42 PM by JustFiveMoreMinutes
For some reason that keeps running through my head for the RIGHTWINGERS who have bought in hook/line/sinker the rhetoric from the GOP ilk.

Of course it's all very nebulous 'cut government waste', 'new direction', 'smaller but more intrusive government', 'no to taxes'.

So 'whatever they meant by it' will be explained by Fox News as being the right thing even tho it is 100% turn around from the campaign issues.

The RightWing will NOT hold these newly elected officials accountable, but will scapegoat all others for their failures.

1. Yes...
But it's not the right wing we need to educate on these things, it's those who stayed home and didn't vote, those who voted out of anger, those who were mislead by the right wing smear machine, those who really want change, but didn't think we were getting it fast enough so they voted for the "other" guys! Rightwingers will "always" but into the brain washing done by the republicans, it's those who are completely brain washed we need to convince they made a mistake this year.

2. The uber-crazies won't, but there's a segment of people who *don't* have firm
political beliefs that bought into the "something for nothing" rhetoric who will realize they've been snookered. And there's a bunch of people who weren't even engaged enough to vote who will see that the Republicans have the House but things still aren't getting better.
