Your "logic" (always cracks me up when I extend the idea that you are logical) would follow that when the republicans lost power in the congress in 2006, it meant that the people didn't approve of the policies of the republicans. You would never admit that Bush's policies were wrong about Iraq, etc.
No, it means that the people are quite fickle, and flip flop quite easily.
In two years we could just as easily see the obstructionist republicans booted out in 2012 if the economy were stronger, etc.
What the right generally fails to do, is apply the same logic to their situation that they apply to their political opponents. Many on the left are also guilty of this absurdity...but again generally the republicans are more self righteous in their verbiage...
The idea of a media bias is true...it is just not a political bias but a money bias.
Media is in the business of profit these days, not in the business of informing the public.
Don't you ever get tired of throwing out the same old crap expecting different results?
By the way, it is always the voters fault...and the voters get what they voted for, so we see these swings from one extreme to the other, the voters never taking responsibility for their poor choices...just blaming their representatives.
I wonder how quickly we would swing if we had a parliamentary system with votes of confidence...
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
This shows the contempt the far left has for the democrat process. Pelosi et al have had one of the most productive legislative records ever over the past two years. They passed repeated stimulus bills, extended unemployment, government-run health care and tried their best to raise taxes. All of it was deeply unpopular with voters, leading to an electoral massacre. So rather than listen to voters, their instinct is to come up with clever ways to fool voters about who they are.
When it's about republicans or conservatives, the media narrative is always they have to compromise, reachout to democrats, shun their hard core supporters,etc. With democrats, it's the voters' fault, they are just too dumb or prejudiced to realize what is best for them.
