BUSH-BLAIR TEAM INTACT DESPITE MEDIA SPIN

Here we go again, folks.
Prime Minister Tony Blair of Great Britain won third term control of government in Thursday's U.K. election.
Granted, Blair's Labor Party lost Parliamentary seats, reducing Blair's voting power when it comes to votes on legislation, but let's emphasize the unprecedented third term for Blair.
The win for Labor keeps the firm alliance in the War on Terror between Blair and President Bush intact. Nothing could be more important in today's dangerous world.
But, are the media happy?
Within hours the leftist newspapers across America began talking about the backlash over the war in Iraq. They were joined by national left leaning television and cable news networks this morning.
The spin is in, folks.
Blair WON, but according to the media he actually LOST because of his support of the war in Iraq.
It's easy to analyze.
If Blair has been defeated the leftist media could have proclaimed that it was due to the war in Iraq. But Blair WON, so the media still is trying to proclaim what it only WISHED had been true, that a huge Iraq War backlash was underway among British voters.
In actuality, voters in the U.K. apparently placed much more importance on domestic matters concerning the ecomomy and especially concern over a recent flood of Asian and Middle Eastern immigrants. Conservatives did well in constituancies where voters felt immigrants were overwhelming them and changing the culture and language.
So once again, the leftist media gets it wrong, but who ever expects them to get it right, especially when it comes to any bit of news that vindicates George W. Bush.
It will be interesting to see how national talk radio and TV analyzes the U.K. election results in the next few days.
