The media keeps asking "Are Democrats out of touch with voters?"
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 05:56 PM by Chatt
But how many times did they ask that question when an overwhelming majority supported a public option? Yes, a few Democrats in Congress opposed the public option, mostly Blue Dogs, but 100% of Republicans in the Senate were against it. So who was more out of touch with voters in that instance?

And why doesn't the media wonder if sometimes voters are out of touch with reality, as revealed by the fact that most think President Obama has raised our taxes, when in fact he has lowered them?

The independent website politifact.com found that Obama's statement that the stimulus cut taxes for 95% of people was true. Source: http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/jan/28/barack-obama/tax-cut-95-percent-stimulus-made-it-so/

Only a tiny number of articles have revealed the tax-cut reality. With this media we will never move this country forward.

1. The real question is this.
Do voters really have a choice?

2. The media is full of shit, and the more we repeat that this is a fact,
the better off Americans will be.

The war is between the media and citizens now....
no mistake about it.

3. Is this the same media that told U.S. it was over for the Democrats?
The same media that reads BushCo*, RNC and Kkkarl Roves faxes as news stories?
