Counterspin~corrected

Oh those "pesky voters. They keep proving the Talking TeeVee Pundit heads don't know what the heck they are talking about.
It’s an anti-incumbent year, except for all the incumbents who are doing fine. Tea Party favorites fare well, except where they don’t. Candidates with establishment backing are in trouble, except when they keep winning. The candidates with more money excel, except when they’re trounced. For every narrative, there are counter-examples that render it largely useless.


The Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads have declared Florida Governor Charlie Crist(R) the winner of the Flordia Senate race. After all, it just no way Rep. Kendrick Meeks, an African American democrat, will be elected in the Sunshine state. They way I see it, white democrats have a choice, they can either vote for Meeks who will vote for the democratic agenda or they can vote for Chris who might (NOT) vote for the democratic agenda. It's two republicans (Crist/Rubio) vs one democrat in Florida. Voters who call themselves democrats should vote for the democrat regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.

The same goes for the Alabama gubernatorial race. It's pretty safe to say Ron Sparks has the African American democratic vote tied down. African American voters are the most loyal democratic block vote, although it's often taken for granted, but I digress. On the other hand white democratic voters aren't so loyal. So, will white Alabama democrats vote for the gubernatorial candidate with a proven record of public service and forward looking innovated solutions, or the candidate with the all hat no cattle slogans? You decide.

On a national level voters will chose between so called "tax and spend" democrats and "borrow and spend" republicans. Personally I don't have a problem with taxing and spending because you get what you pay for. And isn't it funny the republicans the only care about taxing and spending when it's an African American democrat doing the taxing and the spending? They didn't say a mumbling word about Bush and Dick spending 4 Billion dollars a month on all war all the time and taxing the middle class to pay for it.

If the media would stop playing dumb and call out Faux News and the other right wing Lords of Loud whose main purpose is to scare white people the country would be better off and better served. If they continue with the all spin all the time, unfair and unbalanced we are going to go back to before.

Back to all war all the time.
Back to tax cuts for the rich.
Back to Scooter Libby InJustice.
Back to Heckuvjob Brownie incompetence.
Back to spying on the the American people.
Back to no access to affordable, quality health care.
Back to record home forclosures.
Back to bailouts.
Back to torture.
I don't want to go back to the future.

Do you?
