Comments on: Has the entire country become the Florida panhandle of 2000 to the MSM? http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2006/10/21/strange-days-in-the-run-up-to-the-2006-election/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:49:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: The Right Nation http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2006/10/21/strange-days-in-the-run-up-to-the-2006-election/#comment-265274 The Right Nation Mon, 23 Oct 2006 12:08:22 +0000 http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2006/10/21/strange-days-in-the-run-up-to-the-2006-election/#comment-265274 Money Matters (Sometimes)

Jim McTague, su Barron’s Online, spiega ai Democratici che è troppo presto per festeggiare la vittoria alle elezioni di mid-term. Infatti, secondo un modello di previsione utilizzato con successo nel 2002 e nel 2004,

It sounds increasingly Queegish to me and if we are relying on Barnes as a barometer of objectivity and realism god help us. I don't know about the Dem wave building to hurricane force, what is building to hurricane force is the spin coming out of both parties but particularly the Republicans. It will be a miracle if the Democrats don't win a substantial number of house and senate seats, the mood of the country is very sour and the attitude to the congress at an incredibly low level. The Republican victories have been built on securing the base and not paying too much attention to the middle. This worked in the circumstances of 02 and 04 when the GOP was able to wrap itself in the flag and equate Iraq with its war against terrorism. This is not going to work a third time. Whichever way you slice it the war in Iraq has turned out to be a disaster both narrowly and in terms of wider US interests and the country can see it and pins the blame firmly on Bush and the Republicans. A CBS poll a couple of weeks ago showed that 81% of the country believed that Bush and the admin were covering up events leading up to 9/11. This is a staggering number that means that most of the country believes the president is a liar to some degree. It is incredible. I thing we have to get used to the idea that this is not the Republicans year and hope the damage is limited. Looks like we’re back to blaming the media again.

There really is dissatisfaction within segments of the GOP base (and legitimately so), and by making that the big story, the MSM will manage to depress GOP turnout. They are also attempting to gin up moderates and independents who normally don't vote much in midterms to vote in this one. I don't see any way it can be countered. The reason Foley had such an impact was that it hit a GOP Achilles Heel directly. Just wait till the MSM and the Dem bloggers out all the gay GOP members of congress 7-10 days before the election. The word is theat they are circulating the list now, complete with pics and videos. Statistically, there must be at least 6 more gay GOP House members and 1 or 2 more in the Senate (about 3% of the male population is gay), although only a third of the senate is up and this is really about the House. We can't afford to lose another 6 seats. I agree with Black Jack, but I also think that the MSM is winning this one.

You get that feeling because that's exactly what's going on. MSM is doing everything they can to discourage GOP turnout. They got away with it in the Florida panhandle in 2000, and they've decided to take an expanded version of the same dirty trick nationwide this year. Mid-term elections are all about getting your party's faithful to go to the polls and vote, while at the same time creating the general impression the opposition party's voters might just as well stay home. Independents and moderates are only a factor when the presidency is at issue, off-year elections are turnout elections, pure and simple. Dems can only win if the GOP's voters stay home. That's why we see fudged polling numbers and why MSM trumpets their preferred result as the inevitable outcome. It's also why MSM prints one article after another announcing (promoting) divisions among the conservative base. MSM is pushing a game of "Let's you and him fight." It's all designed to manufacture defeatism, something MSM is good at. “Why do we get the feeling…”
