All we need do from now until November is just keep playing the Democrats in action. These guys are just caught in a vise – they are so used to being relentlessly dishonest and never getting caught at it that they simply don’t know what to do when the truth comes out.
Lots of things have happened, but the most important political development of the past 10 years has been the rise of the New Media – powered by low cost, easy-use technology. Over the years I have read many books and it is a curious thing, now, to apply modern insight in to past events – would Joe McCarthy really have been run out of politics had the New Media existed? Would the MSM have gotten away with calling Mao an “agrarian reformer” if the New Media existed back then?
Carry it further: would LBJ have gotten away with the Gulf of Tokin Resolution? Would Tet have been considered a US defeat? Would Richard Nixon have been able to bamboozle conservatives in to backing him over Reagan in 1968? On and on and on it goes – we used to have an MSM which controlled the terms of debate…and while they are still as relentless in their defense of the establishment, they no longer control the debate. Its entirely outside of anyone’s control – as long as someone can record things on a phone and post them on the web in minutes, the truth will come out.
And the truth really does set you free.
