He always looked somewhat surprised at what was going on.<br /><br />I hope we conservatives nominate a Ted Cruz or a Scott Walker.

"...Maybe President Obama was onto something...<br /><br /><b>"Another problem is that Republican voters get so much of their news from Fox, which cheerleads whatever their candidates are doing or saying, that they suffer from wishful thinking and fail to see that they may not be doing as well as they imagine, or that their ideas are not connecting outside the narrow party base. As a recent academic study found:<br /><br />‘Exposure to programs featured on Fox News, such as those hosted by Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity, resulted in a greater wishful thinking effect by Romney supporters. In other words, while Romney supporters were substantially more likely to predict their candidate would win the 2012 presidential election, watching Fox News programming exacerbated this effect.’<br /><br />It may be that some Republican Fox viewers became complacent and didn’t work as hard as they might if they had been more aware of how badly Romney was doing in the final days of the campaign."</b><br /><br />One might be inclined to relegate this quote to a liberal simpleton, were it not part of the research done by Bruce Bartlett, longtime conservative economist with work in both the Reagan and Bush the Elder administrations.<br /><br />Here's your source link...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/05/how-fox-news-is-hurting-the-republicans/393485/" rel="nofollow">FOX News hurting the GOP</a>Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777087329254991970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-89975287482937179332015-05-18T21:39:28.057-04:002015-05-18T21:39:28.057-04:00Ducky: Besides, the issue is not "Jailhouse&q...Ducky: Besides, the issue is not "Jailhouse" Judith Miller, it is the president of the United States of America who wants to fundamentally change the way news is reported through censorship.<br /><br />I thought liberals didn't like censorship. <br /><br />Oh, yeah.

I.e., to control the press. I never implied we were living in Nazi Germany any more than I implied we were living in China or Russia. My point was that in those countries the press has been controlled -- and we see how well that works out.<br /><br />You really need to stop with all your straw man charges.Glenn E.
