The mainstream media is undergoing a "meltdown" over the GOP pledge to not increase taxes and demanding real budget cuts as a condition of raising the debt limit. All you need to do is to read your local newspaper or watch ABC,CBS,NBC, MSNBC or CNN to see how it's the Republicans fault we have not worked out a budget deal.
Joe Scarborough has an excellent column on The Political where he writes"
For 50 years, the federal government has grown at a sickening rate. Whether Republicans or Democrats run the White House, Washington’s establishment always gets its way — bigger budgets, bigger deficits and higher taxes.......
As media types blast away at their barbaric Republican opponents, it is worth noting that just last year the GOP won the largest nationwide landslide victory in modern history based in large part on its pledge to oppose tax increases. Over 230 members of the House signed the no-tax pledge while 40-plus Senate members also signed to oppose tax increases.
It is interesting to see politicians savaged by the mainstream media as hostage-takers, members of Hezbollah and deranged cult leaders for doing no more than following through on a signed campaign pledge. Wasn’t keeping one’s word to voters once seen as a positive political characteristic instead of a personal moral deficiency?
PS have you also noticed how the media has been downplaying the unemployment issue. They have a big investment in Obama and they want to protect their investment!
