I hope the MSM gerbils get one big egg on their faces Tuesday. |
|
For the past several months, all the MSM has been doing is building up this frenzy over the imminent Republican takeover of the House and Senate.
They ignore the crazy positions many of these candidates have expressed. They run with poll data that has been exposed as flawed. They just want to generate some kind of controversy and truth and credibility be damned.
For the past week, the newspapers have been splashing big reports on Boehner becoming the next House Speaker, as if it's a sure thing. The assumption is flawed on two fronts: It assumes Republicans will indeed re-take the House and the Republican House members will vote Boehner in as its Speaker.
if the Democrats retain power after next week's elections, I wonder how the gerbils will conduct their CYA plan. I won't hesitate to rub it in their faces.

6. They will come out with all the stories that prove they were not agreeing with the polls in the |
|
first place.
What is messing with them is early voting, mail voting and the fact that many young people do not answer land line phone calls.
The pollsters have tried to make the polls reflect what they think will happen then the MSM has published stories about what the polls are showing which is nothing like reality. They are trying to manufacture an outcome rather than reporting what's really going on.
The right really shot themselves in the foot by having the poll watchers show up at the early voting. On election day their tactics will be well known and not at all effective.
You can tell with all the energy to try and discourage our vote and to block the vote and the stories of voter fraud that a lot of us are voting and it scares the shit out of them.

7. I just want to avoid Speaker Boehner. |
|
I don't care how it happens or who was right or wrong. Seeing that pathetic orange fuck in charge of the House will depress me for the next 2 years.

11. Oh, I can tell you how the media will CYA |
|
"Even though the house and senate remain in democratic hands, republicans pulled off a stunning upset by preventing the democrats from retaining/gaining more seats than what they could have."
