Personally I dont really see alot of what the MSM does. I think the real political miscalculation was the misreading of what the vote in 2008 really was. Alot of independent voters used it as a chance to cast a vote against Bush and his broken policies. So they voted for the guy with a different letter behind his name and a slogan of ‘change’. McSame was what killed McCain.
But then there was no change. Same policies, same winners/loosers, same general everything, just more of it. The real McSame was revieled, and again people voted against it. That is it. Most voters (me included)dont understand how you can fix a problem by doing what got you there over and over again, just in larger amounts. Health care is just noise.
And,
I dont believe the policial bailout of everyone who needed one saved us from anything, other than my children actually enjoying their taxes and bankers/CEOs having to report 6 figure bonus’s instead of 7. All the bad debt, all the speculation, and all the legal graft need to be flushed and the pain of it will be felt. Now we just get to feel it over a longer period of time, and the people who benifited most from the boom dont have to feel the bust as bad. Was that really worth a few trillion?
