The Revolution WAS NOT Televised... Because There Wasn't One

Another tidbit to put last night in perspective: If you break down the house districts along partisan lines, you get 243 districts that are either dead even or tilt Republican. Republicans won 242 districts last night. If this was a wave, or a revolution, or a mandate, or whatever silly name you want to give it... why didn't it spill over into bluer territory?

The 60 seats gained in 06 and 08 were GOP leaning...

2. Almost true. Something was definitely televised!

They had that junk all over the TV screen whether just a TV show or a news show. The election is out forever--no more politicians dirty looks.

4. The Counterrevolution happened back in the summer of 2009

Most people didn't notice it. That's when HCR failed and was, through a series of grotesque medical experiments, perverted into corporate welfare by this worm :

taking dictation from the Insurance Mafia, abetted by a troop of co-conspirators.

5. Actually there was a revolution.

In Alaska, more people voted third party than voted for the Republican or Democratic candidate.
The vote is broken down like this: 39 % for the third party people, 34 % for Joe Miller
and 25 % for the Dem candidate.

In Colorado, the Democratic candidate won by 52% but the independent candidate was a runner up on the Independent ticket with 37 % of the vote.

No one on the Big Media is ever going to mention this. The Mainstream Media is beholden to the American Big Money Party. Also, since they don't often receive much money from third party people, they could care less about mentioning them.

6. Plus, sports require only two teams.

The one you root for, the one you want to have fail.
