With Hillary\u2019s Quixotic quest refusing to face the naked reality of defeat and Obama limping toward the Democrat nomination, the MSM is left to make excuses for the very possible November defeat.<\/p>\n
Just on cue, MSNBC leads the charge.<\/p>\n
NBC’s Mitchell Suggests GOP Officials May Cheat Obama in November During MSNBC’s live coverage of the Kentucky and Oregon Democratic presidential primaries on Tuesday night, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell seemed to take seriously suggestions by Hillary Clinton campaign members who argued that Republicans in control of the election process in some red states Barack Obama hopes to carry may deny him a “fair vote.” Mitchell: “Other people, I should point out, other Clinton loyalists, but realists, say that that electoral map is a stretch in one regard: There are…Republican Governors and Secretaries of State, if you will, Katherine Harris-type election officials in those states….he has to go up against the establishment, which would be Republican, and he has to figure out a way to get a fair vote if he’s the nominee in those red states.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This logic is like the Truthers and conspiracy nuts out there. If the evil Bush-Cheney cabal had developed some evil inside plan to execute 9-11 and had the ability to keep it a secret for so long; what is to prevent them from sneaking down to your mother\u2019s basement and offing your sorry ass?<\/p>\n
Using the same logic, what were all of the evil Republicans doing in 2006? Or was it part of a brilliant conspiracy to expose the unbelievable incompetence of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi?<\/p>\n
Just how has that \u201cSweeping Change\u201d in 2006 worked out so far?<\/p>\n
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1\/2 year high
\n2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
\n3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%<\/p>\nSince voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:<\/p>\n
1) Consumer confidence plummet
\n2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon
\n3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase)
\n4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses)
\n5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars<\/p>\nAmerica voted for change in 2006, and we got it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
