(15,444 posts)...the media is very good at white-washing Republican failures. They turn a blind eye to everything Republicans do that can risk their chances for re-election.
However . . .
That same media, in turn, turn a very jaundiced and discriminatory eye on everything and anything a Democrat does while giving Republicans all the air, print, and cable time they need to take down said Democrat - a luxury never afforded to Democrats.
Although Americans are loathed to any change (despite their passionate cries that "things need to change around here!"
, fact of the matter is, they have zero trouble "changing" Democratic pols in any election even when Republicans mess things up so badly that it's almost impossible to not blame them.
It's always as if Democratic seats are "in danger" - this, when Republicans have proven, time and again, that they couldn't pass beneficial policies for the people or govern themselves out of a paper bag even if they tried.
That's the disconnect among the American people that worries me the most.
