Does anyone ahree w/ me that Gkenn Beck's discussion about progressives & their history in the US might have anything to do w/ it?

Glenn called this to the letter on his radio show last week, after Scott Brown's win. He said the left would rebrand themselves populists and that the media would describe Obama's speech as populist. It seems the left is quite predictable because they retread the same loser ideas and schemes over and over, except in shiny new packaging.

“Do these Democrats actually believe they can fool enough voters this time around to survive?”

Yes, they do. Will you really be shocked to see just how many voters they do, indeed, fool?

Their actual arguements cannot win the debate — ever — so they continually change the language in an Orwellian manner to make it seem as though the message has changed when it hasn’t. And voters [largely uninformed], unfortunately, keep buying it.

Liars can only sustain their lies with more lies. Democrats are liars ...

Yes.
They have control of the government, the support of the MSM and the help of the Stupid Party. Its not impossible for them to pull it off.

I certainly hope so. I met two die-hard supporters of hussein’s and these people are delusional and they both hated Palin. I made all of the proper arguments and sent them emails today to back up every thing that I said... no response... typical.
