I am a major fan of the Rude Pundit. Every so often, I just need a dose of rudeness to adequately say what I have been feeling. So, yesterday, when work was a little slow, and some of the Obama vs Hillary discussions were getting a tad tiresome, I headed over to see what his rudeness had to say.
Follow me over for more
I am not going to reproduce it here, but it is definitely worth a read. He is having a discussion with the "Rude Mom" in which she tells him she is going to vote for McCain
Basically, he discussed the problem that the MSM has already settled on the story line the John McCain is a "different kind of Republican" That he is a moderate, a "post partisan" I even heard that statement made during the morning show on a local rock and roll station.
What's worse, the current dissension within the conservative ranks will only reinforce this story line. "See - Ann Coulter doesn't like him - he must be a moderate"
So, come November, all the conservatives will vote for him, and just enough swing voters will be fooled into believing that he is a moderate. On the other hand, whoever the Democrats nominate will be presented by the MSM as the most radical, left wing person in the world.
Maybe I am just being paranoid. We have all seen that Republicans can't actually run a government, but they can win elections, and the MSM will dutifully spread whatever BS they are given.
