Message discipline

Republicans are much better at message discipline. They have so completely taken over that any claims of a "liberal bias" anywhere are ridiculous. Why is this?

-They know how to use money.
-Everybody in the machine has a part to play and they fulfill those parts without thinking and without shame.

Take the "Pawlenty is responsible for the budget surplus" story. The MSM is flogging it. The blogs are flogging it. There will be letters to the editor, statements from the Republican Party apparatus, and so on. It is one unified message, something that Democrats really can't do. I won't say that Republicans have no shame, but they certain have no qualms about reciting the party line on command.

It's something to think about.
