Sorry for the hit and run, but I have to unload here. Tonight's reaction among the curve-grading, infotainment driven, personality cult loving Punditdocracy was not in the least bit surprising. I’m glad to see their dignity get drawn down in this ugly fight, they will be stained in the upcoming weeks. Remember when they tried to spin Sarah Palin’s word salad debate performance into a “win” against Biden? Polls and voters threw cold water onto that narrative.

Regarding print journalism (outside of Politico, The Hill, Etc.).; until recently they've been guilty of the same. That has gone out the window for the time being. However, Chuck Todd, Mark Halperin, Joe Scarborough ‘s head-shaking tsk-tsk "Beltway Boys" narrative of decorum and manners (really!) will not abate. To them, this is a sporting event with triabalistic teams. They will herald a rapist because they think he scored points rhetorically. Jeff Zucker and Mark Burnett are either advocates with White “Nationalism” (Supremacy) or are appeasers of such. There is no middle ground.

This is nihilism. They care more about who's up/ who's down and horse race “journalism” rather than talking about the soul of our nation. Basic human decency is an afterthought. Burnett and Zucker have made the conscious decision to turn our nation's political discourse into “infotainment”. Blood Sport for profit, ratings and clicks! It disgusts me to no end as a father of two young children and as an American.

To sum up Trump tonight, Nothing Matters. Our TV media buys into that.

No apologies. No rationalization. Just pure, delicious Schadenfreude.

Not content with gutting America's Unions, the GOP has established the next beachhead: students.

Under the oh-so-handy excuse of voter fraud, Republicans are taking steps each day to warp back to the days when only white male property owners can vote. As Tea Party Nation Founder Judson Phillips put it:

"The Founding Fathers originally said, they put certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote. It wasn't you were just a citizen and you got to vote. Some of the restrictions, you know, you obviously would not think about today. But one of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you're a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community. If you're not a property owner, you know, I'm sorry but property owners have a little bit more of a vested interest in the community than non-property owners."

You know, I must admit, when I first signed on to the Beck boycott I was participating on principal, but expected little or no impact. Let's face it, we've done these before with little or no success. But thanks to a combination of blatant race baiting and a wonderful organization called Color of Change, it has worked far beyond almost anyone's expectations. This is especially true of those on the right.

After watching the debate last night I got the sense that John McCain was trying to tap into a nerve with 15 million potential voters who make over $250,000 per year. I fall into this category, and after hearing McCain at the debate last night I was, as Joe the plumber was, "infuriated". But the anger that I felt, along with many others set for a tax hike, was directed solely at John McCain. So I decided to write him an open letter.

With all the microscopic poll analysis that has been taking place, I feel that one key factor is largely being ignored; where are we now versus where we were in 2004?
