McSame mad at madia, and GOP voters out of step with the rest of America

[OmahaBlueDog]

Two interesting articles:

<<``It used to be that a lot of those smears and the crap on the Internet stayed out of the newsrooms of serious journalists,'' Schmidt said at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Schmidt's criticism is the latest example in the unraveling of what was once a fond relationship between the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and the media. Starting in the 2000 Republican primaries, the Arizona senator became a media sensation by chatting up the press in the back of his ``Straight Talk Express'' campaign bus. The national press corps freely mingled with McCain for hours on the bus, with no topic off limits. >>

This next one struck me most, though:

<<Among Republicans, 54% believe McCain is better than Bush while 22% disagree. Despite Bush's low job approval ratings overall, 70% of Republicans continue to approve of his performance. >>

I was at a restaurant last night, and I overheard a man & woman talking. The man in the couple said something that made my jaw drop, but it dovetails with that paragraph above from Rasmussen. His take was: "Bush's approval ratinga are somewhere around 25-26%, but polls show, at the convention, the approval ratings are around 89%.. so you see the Democrat convention doesn't represent most voters." To me, it's the other way around. We have a Republican party in an echo chamber of it's own voice, while the rest of America looks at it's policies and accomplishments and shakes its head.

1. Schmidt is a good one to talk

that cocksucker learned the smear game on the lap of his mentor and buddy KKKarl Rove. Fuck you Schmidt you head shaved knob, fuck you all the way to the election. I want to see that prick cry, I really really do.
