Here come the talking points, and I’m getting a little tired of the press and the Democrats covering up what’s really going on.
“Even before the first results were announced, administration officials were privately accusing Coakley of a poorly run campaign…” (Virginian-Pilot)
Remember what the press and Democrats were saying as Bob McDonnell gave Creigh Deeds the electoral beating of his life? Tim Kaine and Obama criticizing how he ran his campaign, as if it mattered?
I sat on WHRO’s What Matters as the Virginian-Pilot editorial chief proclaimed that McDonnell ran an excellent campaign, and Deeds ran the worst campaign he had ever seen.
I didn’t make the comment then, mainly because I had other points I wanted to focus on, but when journalists compliment Republicans, take it with a pillar of salt.
And now that Massachusetts has sent a Republican to sit where Teddy Kennedy ruled for decades, out come the excuses about the Democrat who lost having run a bad campaign.
Hogwash!
The voters did not agree with the Democrats! That’s the point! Blaming it on whether or not a campaign was run well is their excuse to keep pushing the failed agenda. This is the same party that lost 49 states in 1984 and refused to admit that Ronald Reagan had a mandate from the people.
So, the next time the media or Democrats (someone needs to invent a word that means both, since their circles are pretty much concentric) tries to pawn off their lame “it was a poorly run campaign” excuse, I pledge, and you should too, to refuse to accept it for anything more than a dodge.
It was their agenda that was rejected.
