...to the repugnican governor's association.
No attempt was made to even pretend a similar gift was/is forthcoming to the democan'ts governor's association.
While the argument can be made that "buying" elections is a bad thing, I should remind anybody who hasn't been paying attention this sort of thing has long been the norm. Only the size of the donation is new, at least where the gov's association is concerned.
I say the donation was a very good thing.
Faux news today has a lot less credibility (yes, that was possible) behind their "fair and balanced" bullshit.
Nevermind that several of their commentators and analysts have run or are likely to run for political office on a repugnican ticket. Nevermind that faux news has been churning out a 24/7+365 anti-Obummer shitfest. Nevermind that faux news has been busted time and again for distortions and lies almost invariably aimed at damaging or embarassing a democan't (with the occasional self-serving faux pas thrown in, such as *ahem* accidentally rolling the wrong video that had the effect of overinflating a rally's attendance).
None of that was enough to convince some people that faux news was effectively a propaganda machine for the repugnican party.
But they have to see it now, right?
I mean... it doesn't get more obvious than this, right?
Therefore I say again: it's a good thing. Cards on the table time.
No more hiding behind the laughable "fair and balanced" facade.
It'll be interesting to see how the white house in particular and democan'ts in general choose to react. It's a gift they could never have bought for themselves at any price...
...but if I were a betting man my money would be on the democan'ts utterly failing to capitalize on this situation. They'll be afraid it would ruin their own shot at getting a million smackeroos from somebody.
The fools.
