Wait before you change that vote, The Stimulus was successful !

The lame stream media is doing their part to help save a failed liberal agenda, and running every story they can find that focuses on conservative missteps, problems, or potential scandals, like Meg Whitman's illegal alien housekeeper, and pushing the trade war with China theme that Obama seems willing to play out now, instead of waiting until 2012.

They're also making some amazing claims. If your a democrat it must have been comforting to know that "leading economists announced that the recession ended in 2009, even though jobs, housing , and the auto industry would not start to recover in until 2012, how convenient. And now the Washington Post's Lori Montgomery is reporting that the Stimulus was not only successful, is a model for future government spending programs, say what ?

The crux of the story seems to be that corruption and misuse of funds has been very low, so therefore the stimulus has been successful. So why not throw away 700 billion dollars every few years. It occurred to me also that the main reason, if it is true that stealing stimulus funds has not occurred on any grand scale, may be because all the money was given to the union thugs and political vermin that would have tried to steal it in the first place, so there was no need.

You can track your local failed stimulus spending projects here to see for yourself the length and depth of the waste.

A party that governs by spinning heart tugging narratives, ignoring reality, and steering clear of inconvenient facts, needs someone to publish their narratives, and the new media does it's job, no questions asked. Gone are the days of the old media, the the cigar chomping reporter, with the crumpled up suit and crooked hat, firing off expletives and digging up the dirt on the ruthless 'upper crust" elite and the hard nosed corrupt politicians.

The new media is led to believe they are part of the ruling class, they're not of course, but they have their degrees from from their elite schools, they are invited to the same cocktail parties, dinners, and fundraisers, their kids go to the same elite private schools, they are made to feel like they are part of the ruling class, they don't represent the people anymore. They are the barking dogs for the super rich, and the political class that are squeezing the life out of the heart of America, The Middle Class.
