"Reid, like all RATs, makes bold and startling statements. Reid, like all RATs, rakes Bush and the Republicans over the coals. The MSM likes that."

Really!?!? I guess that explains why similar comments by the likes of Tom Delay are repeated in their entirety on nightly newscasts. What's that? You say you don't remember Delay's comments being broadcast on network news? Maybe that is because the only coverage the media will give Delay is when he is indicted on phony charges. You really do have no understanding of how our media works do you? You really do believe the media would give Republicans equal time if only Republicans would utter "bold and startling statements" slamming democrats and liberal causes.

You really are out of touch with reality.

Even if one Republican were to be clear, concise and make headline news type quotes, it is drowned out by 50 other Republicans talking with mushmouth.

Read #197 again. I said the Republicans--the entire team from Bush on down--needs to get some Madison Avenue experts to teach them how to get their message out and how to control the media and how to deliver sound bites and how to deliver speeches.

It is the boring mushmouth neutral banter by the mass of Republicans that makes the MSM ignore their message. When the MSM covers any RAT, they can count on a great sound bite, whether it is Reid, or Kennedy or Pelosi or any RAT. They like passion. Blood, guts, war, passion and sex sell on national TV. Boring, bland, neutral, politically correct liberal banter that appeases everybody does not sell on national TV.

The RATs know this, the Republicans ignore it even if they do know it. The RATs are waging war against the Republicans and cutting the Republicans to shreds spilling blood and guts and the MSM thinks that is sexy. The Republicans are ignored because who wants to hear "we will reach across the aisle and come to a consensus opinion"--that is a typical Republican quote. Again, blaming the MSM is misplaced. It is the Republicans fault that they do not get their message out since they have not learned how to control the media.

If the CEO of Coke or Nike or Aflac were in charge of marketing the Republicans, Republicans WOULD get equal press coverage like the RATs do. Politics is like the corporate world when it comes to marketing. You either sell yourself to the public, or you lose to the competition.
