NBC gives us the bad news: We are angry haters for voting Republican

Really NBC? These are your 5 big questions after the Democrats were obliterated? What would the proverbial "Man from Mars" think if he read the following Big Question number 5? Would he really get a clear picture of why the GOP swept the floor with the Democrats?

5. Will voter angst last?

The defining characteristic of politics in 2014 is an electorate that is angry with members of both parties and dissatisfied with its leaders. Obama’s approval rating is declining, but it still remains far ahead of Congress.

There are no signs Washington will become less polarized. In fact, with two houses of Congress opposing Obama, the partisan battles there may intensify. Polls suggest Republicans are growing in their hatred of Hillary Clinton as she becomes less identified with her role as secretary of state and more a Democratic candidate. The Republican presidential candidates, particularly Cruz and Christie, are hardly conciliatory figures.

Here we go again with the anger accusation. That's from the 1994 Jennings playbook which we all remember. Because being angry with members of both parties causes people to do what? Vote for members of the angriest party they can find, the Republicans.

I'm mad at both parties, so I guess I'll vote Republican. That ought to show everybody! Yeah!

Next item of stupidity: I have to say I'm getting tired of the invalid comparison between the Presidential approval rating and the so-called congressional approval rating. "Obama’s approval rating is declining, but it still remains far ahead of Congress." This is an apples and oranges comparison that doesn't translate into any type of real action. Nobody votes for "congress", you get to vote for one member of congress. If your member of congress wins and can't get anything done you blame "congress" and give them a low rating. Then you send the same person back 2 years later.

And then we get to the topic of Hillary Clinton—the unannounced Democratic front-runner for President—who we learn isn't merely disapproved of by Republican voters but hated. In fact, we are told that we are "growing in [our] hatred of Hillary Clinton as she becomes less identified with her role as secretary of state and more a Democratic candidate." Yeah, we really liked her as Secretary of State, uh-huh. This is what passes as election analysis at NBC.
