Don’t you think you are going a little overboard with your attack on Charles? I have read the post in question. It is not pro-Wendy Davis at all. Mr. Phipps is simply writing about something he believes is newsworthy. I would suggest you chill out. You’ll live longer that way.
Again, I agree, to a certain extent. Yes, conservatives swept a lot of governorships and state houses. Against the media, yes. At the same time, we have the most liberal President in modern history, with the poorest record of any President in modern history, yet he managed to win a second term.
I believe that win is a direct result of two things. First, the media propped him up continually. They played his “war on women” mantra until we were sick to death of it. Second, a majority of American voters bought that crap, even though it was obvious it was a flat out lie.
I am not defeatist. I intend to fight, as I applaud the fight Ted Cruz is waging. I’m just trying to acknowledge the uphill odds we are facing.
I agree that the responsibility of any possible shutdown of the government should rest with the Democrats. The reality of the situation, however, tells me that will not happen. It doesn’t matter what the truth is to the media. They will make sure the responsibility is laid heavily on the shoulders of the Republicans. I don’t agree with that, not in the least, but it is a reality.
We are not just fighting against the liberals in Congress and the White House, but also the liberals in the media.
When I wrote that Cruz’s effort to defund Obamacare was “doomed to failure”, it was for that reason alone. I wholeheartedly support his fight and his tactics.
