Looking for an excuse
Today from the Christian Science Monitor:
That is right find an excuse. It couldn't possibly be that the voters disagree with the Democrat agenda. Or that people do not like the President, the Congress and the Senate all to be from the same party. Nope there must be some other reason that people across the country voted out Democrats and voted in Republicans.
Did Jon Stewart hurt the Democrats in Election 2010?
Comedians like Jon Stewart took aim at candidates like Christine O'Donnell in Election 2010, and sharp political satire may have led to cynicism, suppressing the youth vote, experts say.

Amen, Ingineer. Amen. I find it interesting now the left are again justifying the election results as anyone disagreeing with the left are ill-informed and rednecks.
I have hope again.
Check out Mike Pence. I believe he is our best hope for a true conservative viable candidate for President in 2012.

Everybody looks for excuses. It's human nature but I don't think he was a factor at all. I don't think he even tried to be. He just points out what he sees and it's not always flattering to democrats either. He's a satirist. I have to admit though I don't regularly watch him, see him maybe once a month or less, have clips sent to me now and then; so someone more regular to viewing him might have a better perspective.
I don't care for John Stewart either. He seems to just be all about him instead of what he is talking about. I still like Colbert, but he makes no bones about the fact that everything is all about him.
I skipped watching their rally also. At first I thought it sounded like it had been a good thing; but then it sounded like he wanted to blame all the division in this country on media and that's ridiculous.
Anybody who follows history knows there has been a big divide in how people felt from the foundation of this country. Study the disagreements over founding national parks like Grand Canyon and you see nothing is new.
Media, left or right, more reflects it than causes it. They probably don't help as they are into stirring up frustration and anger, but the values that right and left disagree about are basic and way beyond some media person. I suspect most that listen to say Beck already thought like he does and the question would be more does he follow them to get ratings or cause them? I think it's the former-- unless he thinks the same way and it's a lucky coincidence for him.
The funny part for Stewart is he condemns the right and left media for what they stir up but he ignores he does the same thing in his show. Easier to see someone else than ourselves *s*

The left will be stuck in a vortex until they realize they're in denial. They are now refusing to acknowledge why they lost...
"It's because of the economy."
Well yeah, it sorta is. Somewhere near 70% of voters don't like this huge, monstrous takeover of much of the economy disguised as "Health Care Reform" and shouted that dissatisfaction from the rooftops.
Our "leaders" ignored us.
The results of this election are a direct result.
Republicans AND Democrats had better get their heads outta where it's warm, wet, and smelly, or 2012 will be even worse for incumbents.
Get out and gather with fellow T.E.A. partiers folks!!

Ingineer . . . Rita mentioned Mike Pense. Isn't he the author of the Imprimus (Hillsdale College) bulletin this month? Anyway, Stewart can be quick, clever and funny but I doubt that he can swing an election in any direction.

Old Man: I didn't realize you were also Bump. I read your blog fairly regularly, think I found it though Greybeard.
Yes, Pence is the one that has the speech on Hillsdale College. Although I haven't read it, looks like I need to now.
I get regular updates on Pence from my facebook account. He was also featured tonight on 12 in 2012. twelve possible candidates for the 2012 election. I keep hearing that no one can be elected from the House, but I think that's crazy. He's had plenty of experience and doesn't waver on his beliefs.
Right after the election this year, he gave up his 3rd in line leadership because he felt he needs to focus on something else.
Either he is planning on replacing Mitch Daniels as Indiana's governor or he's considering a run for the presidency. Although I would love another conservative governor here, I think he is needed more in the White House.
Check him out. He won the straw poll in a recent Conservative Values Voters meeting.
