Saturday Musings 'Republicans On My TV' Edition

Why are there Republicans? Because of television, I guess.

If people vote their conscience, their pocket book, their health care, their safety… Democrats would be a super majority.

The few folks that vote their prejudices would pull the Republican lever in the voting booth, but that does not send anyone to Washington or a State House.

It must be that the television lies to us… and we watch it and trust it too much.

I wish I could answer the TV back.

But that wish would be un-American.
