Now that the Dems have taken over both houses, here are a couple of predictions I agree with.
1. The MSM will finally start reporting positive news on the economy.
2. The MSM will not report as much, if at all, voter fraud. Also, Republicans will not cry foul on elections, or bring out lawyers...I hope.
Finally a lesson I learned.
Polls don't seem to be as much bullshit as I once thought. Every poll I saw said Dems would take the house and possibly the Senate. Can't say it was luck.
P.S. If you can't beat em join em. PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST! (just kidding)

What? You don't want peace in the Middle East?
Nuke the middle east and San Francisco and start over. That's what I say. :-)
I say let the fun start. The media bashes whoever is in control, and I know we are going to have a field day with Pelosi getting so much air time. This past election has just proven what Blogust has recently discovered:
Most of the US has no idea who or what they are voting for or talking about.
I think Mr. O'Riley sums it up pretty well here.
Baron. Are you suggesting that Polls don't reflect American opinion, but that American opinion is determined by polls?
By the way, I believe the media is biased. To say they only pick on those in power gives em too much credit. For example, I think Reagan was bashed far more than Clinton. And still is.
No, my comment was meant to say that there are a lot of people in the US that don't take a stand, they just seem to go with what's poular or hip at the time.
Clinton has sex with an intern and the Dems pay. People think the war in Iraq is going badly, so the Republicans pay.
People seem to think they are "free thinkers" or something. They say they won't be told who to vote for, but the truth seems to be that they really don't get it, else they would not be voting for the most lunatic party in a long time.
It all seems to come down to current, daily opinions. 33% of this country seems convinced of liberal ideals, 33% seems convinced of conservative ideals, and then there are 33% of the population that don't know or care about politics who call themselves "independent", yet they seem to be the most pliable.
I agree with that to a degree. Sure the population is divided amongst party lines, but people do switch sides and Dems convert to Reps more often than the other way around. This of course is not news. People tend to become more conservative as they get older, but I also feel that it would happen at a much faster clip if the media wasn't involved.
Clinton having sex with an intern, well that was hard for the media to clean up. If the Republicans hadn't impeached Clinton, I think the Dems would be worse off today. Unfortunately, the Republican party is now paying for a preacher and a congressman's love of boys. Which makes the impeachment look even more ridiculous and the media certainly is pointing that out.
As for the war, the media goes out of there way to make it more of a disaster than it really is, especially in Afghanistan. For the last three months, the media pumped us with stories about how we are losing our grip in Afghanistan and it is just not true. Not one bit. But people were listening and believing it. Hard times in Iraq is one thing, but hard times in Afghanistan too? Well that plays right into the Dems hands whose major talking point was that Bush took his eye off the ball in Afghanistan by invading Iraq. It is all a joke to me. Still, I believe in the Democratic process and I actually think this last election was a good thing. I like it when our country involves itself with current issues and the election turnout was high which is encouraging.
