Stop Believing the 'Republicans Are Blowing the Midterms' Propaganda
Townhall ^ | 09/06/2022 | Larry O'Connor

Posted on 09/07/2022 9:02:37 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The headlines are inescapable if you insist on paying attention to the Mainstream Corporate Propagandists in the legacy media.

From CNN: "From a Republican 'tsunami' to a 'puddle': Why the forecast for November is changing"

To The New York Times: "Growing Evidence Against a Republican Wave"

To the Washington Post: "Democrats see the once unthinkable: A narrow path to keeping the House"

It's all the same take, the same opinion, the same "hot take," and basically, the same article. (Have you noticed how often they all write the same article?)

Before you become a typical Eeyore Republican and only see doom and gloom ahead of you, be clear on one important truth: That's exactly the point of this barrage of articles dressed up like "expert analysis." They want you disheartened. They want you depressed. They want you miserable. They want you to stay home between now and election day as well as election day itself.

This is just another one of their tactics.

Yeah, I think they might have some really bad October surprises, like losing Ukraine.

The corporate media has been lying about everything for years. Why would they start telling the truth now?

If all polls are wrong what are we to think about the polls calling a Red Wave?? They wrong too?

I sure hope they’re right, but yanking defeat from the jaws of victory is very Republican-like.
And some ‘Pubbies don’t want to win, not if means MAGA Republicans joining the House and Senate. Witness the absence of McCarthy and McConnell, who should be busy making the most of Biden’s nazi-esque speech.

McConnell admitted he wants Republicans to lose the midterms.

I agree with you. The GOPe would rather have a Democrat in Congress than a MAGA candidate.

The only polls I trust are the ones overseen by election officials, and the 2020 election has reduced my level of trust for even those. When you consider that the media likes to treat the political contests as "horse races" and ignore important things like political positions, I try to avoid what is frankly "noise" and not considered thought.

The only poll I respond to is the Gallup poll, and that is done online and not over the phone. During the last decade, the few times I answered phone polls, they were "push" polls on behalf of a candidate or position. Just, NO.

Fox News is also part of this propaganda.

Yep. Germany is going to cave to the realities of winter and end sanctions against Russia and that’ll be it.

Big Brother has raised the chocolate ration to 20 grams a week.

Evil Republicans to lose seats in November.

BadOrangeMan still on the run.

I hope so and believe that will be the case.

However, I do think the GOP is missing a major opportunity to clearly state what they WILL DO if they take back congress and the gains will NOT be what they could have been.

I recognize that its hard for them to get out a unified message because of the bias of the MSM, but the GOP/RNC would do well to run national ads that support all candidates against the Biden agenda. A full on ad blitz.

People are hurting and many would respond to the ads.

On the other hand, the Rats’ lies might be enhancing our resolve to do whatever we can (voting, for sure) to make sure we don’t have any more Rats holding powerful positions in government.

in an ordinary election your point would be true.

but biden’s speech demonizing republicans gave his minions in government and the democrat party lisence and carte blanche to do anything necessary to win the election in november..—including every kind of fixing and theft you can think of.

We take both houses, and will drag McConnell and McCarthy along. I give them both ZERO credit for leadership, tactics and vision.

I am enjoying the quiet.

Germany’s energy imports

15.3% are from Natural gas

Out of that, 30% of 15.3% in January were from Russia.

so that means Germany loses 5.1% of its energy sources.

In the meanwhile it is keeping its nuclear power plants alive.

No, they’re not going to end sanctions against Putin the Nazi dictator
