the media isn’t in the tank for democrat candidates?

they call him ‘Barak Hussein 0bama’ ... that’s not even his real, legal, name. it’s an alias.

they don’t even know this. THAT’S how in the tank they are for dem candidates

if you’re going to war, you really don’t want your people thinking the enemy are swell guys just a little misunderstood.

He’d done that anyway ~ he didn’t need to be prompted by anyone. Please, never imagine that a hard core leftwingtard Democrat party apparatchik depends on Mr. Big to start his motor. That’s not how this works.

You are right.

I tried to listen to Stu, but couldn't (for the life of me) figured out how he arrived at his conclusions.

Not logical. Nor based on simple reality that everyone else can see.

You don’t think that was a coordinated effort?

Romney went around discussing how he'd campaign in order to raise funds from wealthy donors. He told them he was going after the 10% of the voters he described as a moderate undecided middle.

Of course there is no middle in American politics ~ and it's too late to change minds with a campaign ~ you need to get that out off the way years before so that you can focus your campaign on firing up your own party members to vote and saying bad things about the opponent (to dispirit the other party's members so they don't vote).

Obviously Romney himself was pretty naive, as were his staffers, but he did get money out of the rich donors. Kind of makes me wonder if rich donors are smart, or if smart, just how politically astute can they be to believe such utter rubbish!

Bwahahhahahhhaaahhhahahahaaaaaaaa ~ cough ~ "Oh my sides" ~ hgahahahdlgghdhahahahrrrhahahhaahghrahghghghghgh!!!

Next time we decide to run a Democrat make sure the other guys are not also running a Democrat. As Harry Truman said, 'given the choice between a real Democrat and a fake Democrat, the American people will chose the real Democrat every time'.

Perry had had back surgery and he couldn't do his recovery without pain pills ~ and I"d just bet he didn't do that surgery without antesthesia ~ like I would have ~ it's so infrequently you get to experience exquisite pain a man would be a fool to give it up eh!

His problem was pretty apparent ~ he just couldn't keep his mind straight. That's always a bad sign in a candidate or President of course.

I heard that JFK was sky high on painkillers for his back when he debated Nixon in 1960.

Well if Palin hadn’t opted against running I would have backed her, and I believe she would have won.

I was on a plan B. Sorry. :)

(I know that’s an excuse, but it’s true)

No love for Romney or his stooges but the question is a no-win situation. If they complain of media bias they look like whiners. If they say there is no media bias they look like fools. I guess they prefer to look like fools than whiners? Beats the heck out of me :-)

Is Stu Stevens related to McCain’s 2008 campaign manager Steve Schmidt?

They are two peas in the same pod.

The "D" and the "R" are interchangeable. The GOPe via the Romney strategist has verified media is a sacred cow. Voting for GOPe candidates are thus a complete and utter waste of conservative votes. Might as well watch NBC/MSNBC/ABC/CBS or CNN for political news.

This admission IMHO is the fork in the belly of the GOP and their breed of candidates. Mainstream media must be celebrating this admission and laughing at the wannabe democrats.

Most likely does not want to be left out of Washington cocktail parties. The kind of guy who has a kick-me sign hung on his back.

He had Addison’s disease ~ and the back problem is related to that. You probably ought to read a more up to date listing of his problems at a thread like this one: http://www.doctorzebra.com/prez/g35.htm ~ just like to say there’s a known genetic connection between several of his problems and having a 9th Century Viking as an ancestor, or maybe a little more recent Sa’ami in the Nieuwe Sverige Colony. Look at the treatments given for his problems. Today I don’t think any of those things are used ~ science marches on!

if this is what passed for intelligence in the romney campaign no wonder he seemed out of touch.
