"That's what the perception is I believe. People who think a party is disinterested or luke-warm about being in charge often grant them just what they seem to want. Ask George Bush Sr."
The perception is that way because the MSM, while shrinking has become all the more partisan for the demonrats. This has become more and more about whether the MSM can convince enough of the information starved portion of the populace to vote demonrat to take over the country.
Yes, it's that way because of the media. And also because of uncreative Pubs who can't seem to find a way to get their message out on national tv, show strength or unity. Look how many times Pubs have sabotaged Pubs. John Bolton for instance, first Buckets and now that RINO from Rhode Island.
Certainly there is no other option than voting straight R any more. But they exasperate me to the core on a regular basis.
All that said, I do hope they continue controlling both houses of congress.
