Reply #89: The media [View All]

[The Wizard]

picked Hillary and Obama at the behest of Karl Rove as they were the two candidates most likely to lose to a Republican in the general election, lest anyone forget the underlying bigotry that prevails in this nation's unconscious thinking. Remember John Edwards saying it's time for the media to stop picking our candidates. If anyone doubts who the media supports, look at the questioning and scrutiny Republicans face as compared with their Democratic counterparts. McCain will get the same free ride the Bush cartel has gotten. Remember all the blatant lies without the media asking important questions? That's why our military has been compromised in Iraq.
It is indeed unfortunate but true, but the only way a Democrat can be elected president is if the candidate is a southern white male, as the Confederate States have voted as a block since the Civil War. The Republican appeal in the Confederate States stems from the code language Republicans use. With Nixon it was law and order (We'll keep minorities in their place). With Reagan/Bush it was traditional values (We'll keep minorities in their place). Sad but true, this still works.
The last non southern white male to win the presidency as a Democrat was JFK, and that was because the Confederate States were still voting against Republicans for freeing the slaves. After Johnson signed the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts the Confederate States voted as a block for Republicans with the exception of southern white male Democratic candidates.
Changing demographics will change the Confederate State mentality in the future, but we're not there yet.
I like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, both are immanently more qualified than "More of the Same Insane McCain," but neither of them will defeat a white male Republican this time around, even with Bush's disaster lurking in the background.
The guys with the Confederate flags and gun racks on their trucks will never vote for anyone who doesn't look and sound like them.
Jumping up and down and stamping feet only works when you control the media. The Republicans control the media. If we let the media control us, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Instead of being in a pissing match with ourselves, we should be pissing in the doorways of the major media outlets. The Fourth Estate has transformed into a Fifth Column. Attack them, not each other.
