Never mind the mountains of townhall video tapes, facebook postings, comment sections, “newsletters,” rally signs, and direct interviews. Republican policy/politicians can NEVER be directly linked to Republican voter’s demands. To the media, Republican voters are a theoretical abstraction that no one can figure out.<br /><br />If only the media gave liberals such mythological enigma status. But they seem to be allowed to pin us down with characterization of being misguided, unrealistic, and naïve to traitors bent on destroying the modern western world with reduced priced school lunches and stuff. <br />trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830124404306531933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-60371826459285515942015-10-06T13:17:46.848-05:002015-10-06T13:17:46.848-05:00I read this yesterday, and was about to leave a co...I read this yesterday, and was about to leave a comment when I noticed that comments had been turned off.
