I wouldve called 0bama a “dirty moslem,” then apologized and corrected myself with “filthy moslem.”
A gaffe..LOL In other words: blunder, mistake, error, slip, faux pas, indiscretion, impropriety, miscalculation, gaucherie, solecism; informal slip-up, howler, boo-boo, fluff, flub, blooper, goof.
Seems the truth becomes a gaffe/boo-boo when the boo-booer realizes they are getting heat for their comment. Suddenly the truth becomes a simple mistake. LMAO
Rupert Murdoch also tweets that Rick Santorum's rise in polls shows "Values do count in America."
Are we going to have another person in training at the helm.
This is politics. He’s a Republican and the msm is lying in wait for anything he says that they can pounce on to bring him down. He can’t afford to ‘take chances’.
He has to be very careful what he says & how he says it - not fair, but it’s true.
He doesn’t have the luxury that Obama does, of being able to backtrack & explain what he meant. And if he has to explain what he meant twice in a week, he’s going to lose support & momentum.
He could try the Newt approach and start regularly calling out the media for twisting his words or his meaning and make them look like the hyenas they are.
Otherwise, he needs to choose his words very carefully to avoid providing them with ammunition.
Gotta admit, I wouldn’t be so antagonistic if there wasn’t a concerted effort to destroy Santorum here.
I do agree with your points. If Santorum and staff are going to say something, then he either needs to back it to the max, or discipline the staff member who said something he disagrees with.
Another “front runner” attack. The MSM playing “Whack a Mole”.
I think of him as The Ayatollah of All Crapola...
