Lame excuse.
Most Republicans are spineless. They could express the truth if they felt like it. Instead they whine and yelp like a kicked dog.
If any of them had any guts, when a democrat was caught in a lie, they'd call that person a liar.
They could arrange tv and printed interviews and react to unfounded lies and inuendo. But they don't.
I'd bet that if their wives or daughters were raped, they'd just keep mumbling and stumbling.
Even Frenchie Kerry, the ultimate surrender-meister (dork), has more guts than most Republicans.
IMO
I'm ready for the flames from the (R) bots.
No flame from me. While I agree that the conservatives lack even one leader who has effectively articulated their principles, policies and, yes, successes, the problem is much deeper. They have no huevos! Perhaps they don’t really believe their own platform. Whatever the reason, unless one strong leader with credible conservative credentials and an ability to communicate emerges from the presidential primary process, I see little hope for the GOP in the next two years. It could be a long, long, six years!

Disgusting.
Flamethrower set to Crispy: check.Release flame!
Seriously, the Republicans don't have the same "outrage machine" for the simple reason that the Republicans are the only party which defends the practical middle class against the combination of the demagogues of the lower class and the panderers of the rich.Another and probably better way to put it is that Big Journalism exists to promote itself and attract attention - and since it doesn't do anything useful, it does so by criticizing those who do do useful things - such as create jobs or do those jobs, and such as doing law enforcement or military. Big Journalism promotes itself, and at the same time promotes non-journalists who help promote journalism.
"Progressive" is simply the positive label journalists use to describe non-journalists who promote journalism; "objective" means the same thing in a journalist's mouth, but is used only to describe journalists. It's easy to say that as an anonymous poster, but hard for a politician to get elected telling the truth when journalism lies.
Amen.
