The Network Media Loses to Bush . . . America Wins!
By Debbie Daniel (11/05/04)
Thanksgiving came early this year. I’m ready for a big turkey dinner . . . a feast . . . a celebration! Americans prayed and God answered . . . just like He always does.
This 2004 election was a referendum on the decency and morals of the American people. Christianity was being tested and there was a point where we had to let go and let God take control.
When we did, only then could He truly bless us. And I feel blessed today.
I experienced this first hand on Election Day when I realized there was not a single thing I could do to ward off the misinformation we were getting from the network media exit polls.
They were absolutely manifesting situations that weren’t happening, in hopes that we would buy into their propaganda and it would possibly make a difference in the outcome of the election.
I am absolutely convinced this is the case, but I couldn’t prove it. The exit polls were so far-fetched that I couldn’t imagine what was going on. The media was determined to bring down the President and we could do nothing.
The frustration and helplessness I felt had just about consumed me with anger when I heard a still small voice speaking to me from a place deep in my heart saying, “Let go of it, Debbie . . . this is now in God’s hands. There’s nothing you can do.”
Have we not seen a miracle? We watched the network media “lose” to George Bush. It was as great a victory as the final countdown against Mr. Kerry. The look on their faces was a treasure to behold.
Unless I’m terribly mistaken, this will have a much more far-lasting effect than anyone can imagine. The network media’s efforts were short of criminal in trying to sway public opinion with total untruths. I hope in the days ahead they will pay a heavy price for what was done.
In spite of every effort imaginable to exact a “coup d’etat” on the President, the network media could not pull it off. They once again “underestimated” George W. Bush, and they certainly misjudged the American people. They cannot understand the “love and admiration” the people have for this President.
And the media certainly gave no credence to the “prayer warriors” of this great land. When people started praying . . . God listened . . . and He answered. That gave us a tremendous edge in this election, and you can’t discount the power of prayer.
I can still hear MSNBC’s Chris Matthews – in total shock – saying: “That ‘values thing’ is where Democrats have a real problem.”
That’s quite a comment! “Values thing?” They don’t have a clue . . . what a revelation from a party who wants to represent all the people.
Well, there are over 57.4 million people who you don’t know very well. So, for those who think the President needs to reach out and bring this country together, he’s been reaching, but he’s not going to compromise his morals, and he shouldn’t be expected to.
We want George Bush to be George Bush. That’s who we voted for . . . the man as he is. If we had wanted a President to be all things to all people, we would have voted for the other guy.
When I heard people clamoring that “this fight has just begun,” after it was announced that Mr. Bush won, and others declared that Bush should not be so arrogant as to believe he has a mandate just because he had more votes than any other presidential candidate in history, I became concerned once again.
The Democrats need to get their act together and do some reaching out on their own. It wouldn’t hurt for us all to take some initiative in this effort to “get along and unite.” You can’t shake a hand that won’t shake yours.
The Democrats got their clocks cleaned and maybe it’s time to make a new start. We’re not becoming divided . . . what you see is a nation moving in the direction of high morals and wanting to live with the traditional values it has come to love and what has made it so great.
There’s no longer a dominance of liberal thinking . . . the pendulum is swinging the other way. It’s not so much a division as it is determination to do what’s right.
The silent majority in this country made the difference. Trust me; they are the ones holding on to what matters in their lives. It’s not Hollywood’s virtues; it’s not Michael Moore’s ideology, and it’s certainly not money, money, money.
We have families who are concerned about the minds and hearts of their children. They voted for their future and that’s what made the difference.
The heartland bled for Bush and the numbers show it. Power to the people . . . they’ve spoken again. Is the network media listening?
