Post-Election Reflections

If anything is perfectly clear from following the media coverage of the election, it is that the Democrats must get their own mean-spirited, vicious media attack dogs. They were sorely outnumbered by the right wing loud mouths. And they need moderate attack dogs who can stand on their moderate positions while at the same time make extremism itself and the hypocrisy of extremism the issue.

Bascially, they need two fixtures on every network, plus 10 or 20 for their own cable network. I know everybody thinks CNN and MSNBC are the liberal networks, and therefore presumably - at least according to the right wingers - the networks of Democrats. I'm not so sure though that Democrats have as strong an affinity for the liberal media as Shrill O'Reilly, Inshannity and Drug Limbaugh claim.

You don't have to be an extreme right wing idiot with your own talk show to see the folly of the extreme positions of the far left in the Democratic party. Moderate Democrats see it, too. But we also see the extremes on the right side and we don't much like that either. We like even less the Johnny One Note, liberal baiting, liberal hating, pompous, self-rightous, sanctimonious and holier that thou attitude of right wing radio and chicken hawk talk show hosts.

The higher they climb, the farther they fall. At the top of the moderate agenda on both parties should be a take down strategy to neutralize the right wing pansy asses and literally shut them up and shut them down. It's time to knock these turkeys off their bully pulpits. Let's see if they can take it like a man or if they turn out to be the pussy wimps we know they really are.
