The liberal mainstream media, of course, ate this up. The fact that the rookie from Illinois was wrong did not bother them.
Why do Democrats, year in, year out, seem to dominate the networks and print media with their speeches, proposals and 'solutions?'
Perhaps because, as liberals, they strongly believe in a government-paid solution to anyone's problem.
They propose programs for every ill, imagined or not. They believe every economic down-draft and cycle should be eliminated, or, if not, ameliorated by compensating voters. If even one American experiences a bad day due to their own lack of judgment or poor choices, the Black Adder, Frisco Nan and Harry Reid are there to assure them that, if these latter pols have their way, Uncle Sam will be sending a check to the self-damaged voter muy pronto.
For example, right now, Obama claims our economy is 'fragile.' Is it? It's not even in a recession yet, as measured by agreed-upon, conventional methodology. So how can we need even more transfer payments?
Thus, Democrats always have a new program to 'fix' something, whereas Republicans, who tend to believe in self-reliance and weathering natural cycles, do not.
McCain and Palin did address numerous economic issues last week at their convention. However, none of their solutions involved new federal programs. Or expanding existing one.
No, instead, they dwelt on individual responsibility, reforming existing job retraining programs, and reining in Federal spending, i.e., the Democratic-controlled Congress.
Thus, media bandwidth and time are taken up by Democrats preaching 'solutions' for each misfortune, while Republicans are made to look insensitive, flinty and uncaring.
And every time a Steny Hoyer, Frisco Nan Pelosi, Harry Reid, "Lying" Joe Biden, or even Obama speak, they are sure to the new spending and programmatic 'solution' they are proposing for real or imagined ills.
