Mitt  Romney will get all the consideration he deserves from the press and the American voter.  But it won’t be much.  If mediocrity is your ideal then Mitt’s your man.  Truly, however, he is best represented by Douglas Niedermeyer late of Faber College.  But now we have a “let them eat cake” quote or, as I believe it’s evolved, Mitt and company are on to a “let them watch as we eat their cake” philosophy.

if she pulls off that wig, everyone will see that michael jackson lives!

This board is a prime example of what Angela is talking about; Alex could have just as easily posted a headline that read:  “Romney doesn’t care about the very rich”, but instead, she chose to push the other statement without his full commentary….misleading and misrepresenting.  This board goes after the Chariman of the RNC and gives Debbie W Schultz a complete pass on her outrageous comments.  This board ignores all of Obama’s gaffes – making excuses for them.  This board is representative of how the media will treat Mitt – unfairly, unbalanced, slanderous, scorched earth coverage.  He is not a democrat, and therefore he will be slandered.  Look at the article about Jesse and MSNBC – they are working overtime to bring injury to their man so they can blame the right, even though it is the hatred and racism spewed by the left that is harming this nation.

Mitt will be fine, he needs to Newt it up a bit though and go after the media for their lies and misrepresentations and I sure hope he does it soon.

Lefties are perfectly happy to take half a statement by any conservative and demonize him for what he did not really say. The fact that so many are willing to be obtuse about it tells you how desperate they are to keep Obama in a job where he has failed spectacularly.

It’s getting late,and the White House and their media can see a landslide coming down on top of them, so they will do and say anything.

“Gallup state numbers predict huge Obama loss”

http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/gallup-state-numbers-predict-huge-obama-loss/352881

Actually, it’s “Let them eat the cake we always buy for them.”

Also in other news, the Pope is Catholic, and bears crap in the woods.

Mediocrity was our choice in 2008.

Was actually a fair interview.

 That map and link is a little misleading. It only tracks approval rating and then bases the electoral votes on that.  By that rule, both Bush W and Clinton would have lost in landslides as their approval rating was around the same as Obama’s

Has it been three days since Priebus’ Obama comment already? I wonder what progressives will be freaking out over come Saturday.

You know, it’s a good thing we don’t have any real problems and we have the luxury of losing our minds over silly twaddle like this. Hail Obama, Creator of Wonders!

So, if I understand what you’re saying, it’s all a big conspiracy, and the Republicans are the victims/ Well, if I had a tissue I might weep. But, curiously, are Newton Leroy and Sanitarium in on this conspiracy? Because, frankly, it would seem that they are the real perpetrators here, the bleating, kvetching, moaning and whining of you and the insufferable Ms. McGlowan from Willard Central notwithstanding.

You know for a party that classifies itself as a “stand on your own two feet, don’t be a victim but take responsibility for what happens in life” party, they do play the “Woe is me, I’m a victim” card a lot 

By half a statement, you mean the same way Willard has butchered, chopped and Photoshopped various statements by President Obama and Newton Leroy? Are, or those pieces not in Little Andy Blightphart’s files, Big Petty.

By the way, I would encourage you to dance now. The music will likely be drearier for you and yours in November.

 It wasn’t a smart thing to say.  You cannot say it was.

Not to worry, Paulie. By Saturday we’ll have a couple of more Willard and Rancid soundbites to use. They are a veritable treasury trove of inappropriate and offensive statements.

The only thing unwise about it was that it’s ripe for being taken out of context and waved around like a bloody shirt, which is exactly what’s happening. If our chatteratti weren’t so populated with dishonest scum, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

I think it’s beyond the media being largely liberal.  To most of them support for the president has become tantamount to a support for civil rights.  It’s their chance to march with MLK in a sense.

Rather than wanting to be Woodward and Bernsteins toward a presidential administration, they all envision themselves as Peace Corp members sitting in and singing kumbaya.

57 States!!!
Bill Ayers!!!
Muslim!!!
Birth Certificate!!!
Rev Wright!!!
Spread Wealth Around!!!

Yeah, its just progressives that freak out about silly things…

You live in the fox toolbox. I wish they would remember to lock it.

You would think that being a son of a Governor and one himself he would know not to give raw meat to the machine.  It was his mistake, period. 

Bill Ayers is an unrepentant domestic terrorist. Wright is an unapologetic racist. You can tell a lot about a man by who his friends are, unless you absolutely insist on not thinking about them. Those aren’t trivial things, nor is wealth redistribution.

Sorry, a bit clumsy and contorted.

And, the quote, more likely from Marie-Thérèse than Marie Antoinette, was “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”. Brioche was, at that time, the flour and water paste used to coat pans and ovens to prevent delicate pastries and breads from sticking. At the end of the baker’s day, this was placed in baskets for the poor. So, you see Marie-Thérèse and/or Marie Antoinette were actually displaying more concern for the extremely poor pf their day than Willard is in this day..

Ah, yes. He knew it was a snake when he picked it up.

Who did Bill Ayers kill?  Is he on the lam? Has he been convicted and if so did he serve his time? No matter, you have already made up your mind on that.

The knife cuts both ways.  So if someone less than respectable is attached to someone you like, don’t blame the liberal media.

In other news, the sky is blue, ice is cold, and a dog peed on a fire hydrant. Film at 11.

If this was the first time he’d said something along these lines he’d get a fairer shake, but he keeps on saying these things, things that paint him as cold,.uncaring or completely out of touch. People misspeak from time to time, say things that can be taken out of context, but when you keep on unapologetically saying things like these, people will become less willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and it’s no-one’s fault but your own.

It does kind of amuse me the way that people in the right wing media are saying Romney is being persecuted by the media because he’s not liberal, while a lot of people within his own party are unhappy with him, claiming that he’s a liberal.

I would say, the MEDIA (which spells AIDEM backwards), is a culmination of all that is evil in the world today.  The Great Satan, if you will.  And it does aid all the principal forces of  social chaos around the world, from religion right down to the smallest corruptions in our midst.  It meticulously breeds fear and reaction in the masses, and can put them in a stupor before the blink of an eye.  Media, exploits ignorance with grace and precision.  It is most skillful at misinformation and propaganda.  It is and has always been, the proverbial DEVIL in disguise.  Truth has been mortally wounded, and the prognosis for its survival is doubtful.  Who wins the day is up for grabs, if there are any winners at all.  But one thing is certain, rivers of blood will flow when this contest of evil comes to fruition, and all gods will become a mere afterthought.

So to validate your comment about the GOP party, that would equate the Democratic party to being the party of not standing on your own two feet than..right?
 
If not, what are they the party of?

How can it be taken out of context when he was given the chance to make amends. Victimization from these guys is annoying and embarrassing. 

The quote, more likely, is a fabrication of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s.

Mitt Romney made an ill advised gaffe…

He can’t take it back or have it reinterpreted. It simply ‘is what it is!’

A dumb comment that’s difficult to appreciate in any supposed positive context. It came from his own mouth, whilst under no pressure, attack or duress…

Although, there’s plenty of time for Mr Romney to shed another skin and become a different version of himself!

Yes,McCain was mediocrity and then he chose Palin which hurt the mediocrity brand.

How many of these got a headline here or anywhere else for that matter?

http://newsbusters.org/forum/topic-discussion/handy-reference-guide-obama039s-gaffes-and-goofs

Your equation is flawed and your conclusion is wrong.  The Democratic party is an illustration of standing on your own two feet.  The original poster points out that the Republican party talks the talk but can’t walk the walk.

so the part about the rich doesn’t count?  I see, only the part that agrees with your preconceived notion.  Then, we are surprised at the state of our state.

If mediocrity gives a man the wherewithal to become a multi millionaire imagine what a brilliant person could become?  

I’m sick of conservatives whining about liberal media. There are plenty of sources for conservatives to watch. For people who love the Constitution, they seem to hate freedom of the press in First Amedment.

You can apologize for Ayers all you like. The history of the Weather Underground is readily available and I’m not going to recount it for you here. But I will direct you to his NYT interview, published on 9/11/01.

“I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. “I feel we didn’t do enough.”

I was not saying anything about the democratic party. I was just marveling at the irony of anyone who tells people that they only help those who help themselves complains a lot about how much a victim it is. Whether it is from racism against whites, persecution because of faith, or the big bad liberal media.

Mediocrity didn’t give Mitt the wherewithal to become a multi-millionaire – George Romney gave it to him.  .

His comment was poorly worded but we all know exactly what he meant.  

It is much easier to ridicule than to understand.  Ahh to be perfect. 

“57 states” “22 million jobs” “over 8%”  — yes,dishonest scum indeed.

Who’s trying to silence them?

I wasn’t apologizing, I was asking questions that you refuse to answer. Because those answers will nullify your points.

”Is this, then, the truth?,” he writes. ”Not exactly. Although it feels entirely honest to me.”

Are you suggesting, sir, that Gloves Donahue is being intellectually dishonest?

This is shocking! Shocking!!

She is right, The Media won’t treat Mc Romney fairly, Because He is a Liberal, They will not give the Voters a fair look at His history because He is the Chosen one who is acceptable to lose to Obama,

They will do the same thing they did in 2008, insist that Mc Romney is the only acceptable candidate to run against Obama, and once the election is in progress, They will rip Him to shreads in favor of the True Liberal Socialist Democrat Obama, and Not a Republican lite replacement.

 I wouldn’t post a story from an organization that has admitted lying to prove a political point.

That’s too simplistic an analysis, my dear.

A true journalist is drawn in to the profession by a cause. And, while it is demonstrably true that some journalists are little more than narcissistic celebrity wannabees these days, and I include not only a goodly portion of the FOX “News” personalities including, without limitation Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelley and Brett Baier in that group, I also include other American cable “news” network personalities, again, without limitation Anderson Cooper, Lawrence O’Donnell and even Rachel Maddow. That’s not to say that at times they don’t commit good journalism, but, rather, that is not their vocation. Not really even their avocation.

For those for whom journalism is vocation, your reference to the civil rights movement, your snark aside, is probably correct. And, if it is, causes seldom to be politically reactionary. Rather, they are forward-looking. An advance. A leap. Somehow, I wouldn’t be much impressed by a journalist who took up the Willardesque, “reduce taxes for the wealthiest” mantra. I’d be more drawn to a journalist that is inspired by a vision of a more just and equitable society, a healthier environment, a judicial system less in a rush to convict the innocent, a world more at peace. The Robber Baron Age is not a model for our society, but a warning about that to which we ought not return. To the extent a journalist helps us understand that, he or she is doing his or her job.  

Thus is the game. If you didn’t know that, it’s on you.

And how many lives were wasted by the lies from the W Bush White House?

The W had the nerve to do a comedy skit for the White House Correspondence Dinners pretending to look for the WMD’s in the Oval Office.

But all you care about is what a couple of misguided people did almost half a century ago.

Indeed. Willard’s friends are the very wealthiest Americans buying influence from him by financing a filthy, non-substantive campaign, and the men and women who run banks in the Caymans, Switzerland and other off-shore havens. Speaks volumes about Willard, doesn’t it?

Your absolutely right.  It was his mistake.  These guys have spread themselves so thin that they are punch drunk.  Not excusing, but understandable.

p.s.  Did you feel when Michelle said children should expand their pallets to include steak and arugula might also have been used to indicate a disconnect between the haves and have nots?  I don’t think republicans have cornered the market on ill delivered statements.  

I read something remarkably similar to this once before. I think it was written by Paul Josef Goebbels.

I want to see a power grid on mediaite featuring Fox News hosts sorted “Dumbest” to “Dumb” & I nominate Gretchen Carlson for 3rd top spot only second to Steve Ducy and Eric Bolling

Fox News has some funny ideas about fairness. I can hear it now: Romney says he would like feed on the flesh of live puppies. Will the liberal media give him a fair shake? What joke. He said what he said and he meant what he said.

 But would like to vociferously disqualify Bob Beckel from consideration

 New from McDonalds, The McRomney!  A sandwich made with white bread and no meat.

Isn’t it great that our “news” media is a game?

That’s a great summation of nutter hysterias, but didn’t you forget a few things:

ACORN!!!

The New Black Panthers!!!

Solyndra!!!

Muffingate!!!

Billion dollar campaign!!!

That too is a theory, but there is good and ample evidence Marie-Thérèse uttered something similar. There is little evidence that Marie Antoinette did. However, it seems like something the silly and out-of-touch woman might have said. In that regard, it is directly pertinent to any statement made by Willard.

She did and does given mediocrity a rather good name, doesn’t she, much as the bubonic plague makes chicken pox seem desirable.

 Goebbels was the media, genius.

not at all. However in somewhat in her defense, I never heard of arugula til I moved to Los Angeles. Something tells me it may be somewhat regional. Like lobster in Maine. But no, it wasn’t smart for her to say either.

If the media operated on ideology they would collectively route the weasel for tossing chum buckets packed high with lies at the upward cast faces populating his events.

Damage control is expensive

Romney’s SuperPac can save millions in damage control ads by chipping in and buying Mitt a teleprompter

I guess Romney is pushing back by saying he supports automatic increases in the federal minimum wage to keep pace with inflation.  ROFLMAO!!!

You say this like it is new? It has been this way since 1776. It is really the entire reason we have a free press in this society. Pablo, I find it hard to believe you never realized this.

Republican/Tea Party.

And absolutly no taste.

Get used to it folks, now that Romney looks like the GOP candidate, the liberal main stream media, who got Obama elected in 2008, will be in full take down mode on Romney. They know Obama is in trouble and they are going into full attack mode. Hopefully America wont be as stupid as in 2008.

Good and ample evidence? Like? 

 So why are you supporting CNN?

If true… That’s awesome. The libertarian and Teavangelical clans will be repulsed.

The answers to your questions are readily available. If they were pertinent to the question, perhaps I might detail them, but they’re not. By his own proud admission, he is an unrepentant domestic terrorist. That’s just a fact.

I don’t say things that aren’t true. That distinguishes me from most conservatives on this board.

http://www.albertleatribune.com/2012/02/02/romney-speaks-in-minn-to-say-he-supports-automatic-hikes-in-min-wage/

are you saying the Obama didn’t make those gaffes?

p.s.  what “organization” admitted lying?

My friend, the attack in question by Herr Goebbels, echoed by Herr Schlumboski, was upon the free media, the Weimar media, when Germany still had a free media. Chilling.

How? Is there an advertiser boycott or an investigation or a law being proposed?

That’s all over CNN now, right?

He did?  I believe Mitt made it all himself.  He didn’t take any money from his father.  

Did mediocrity make Jobs a billionaire?  I believe he didn’t even have a father in his life.  it’s very easy to look at someone who’s doing better than ourselves and “blame” them for being successful by having some advantage  over ourselves.  It’s a disease with some; for others, it’s a sign that with hard work, perseverance, luck anything is possible.  

 Newsbusters is a Brent Bozell company.

http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/stories/2002/ptcretract.html

 I support CNN because I think the source of that article is biased?

Conservatives cry about everything from media coverage, jokes on comedy shows, and even the muppets. Conservatives are clearly a very insecure bunch and Mitt Romney is the personification of this insecurity. $250 million in various banks throughout the world and still lacks confidence in himself and what he stands for.

CNN is Center-Left as almost all media outlets are that deal with the public at large. The reason for this is simple.

Republicans are stupid, crazy, hypocrite liars and everyone knows it. The only reason to watch fox is to laugh at reality television. Those same viewers also watch Jersey Shore, Housewives of Atlanta, Mobwives, The X-Factor, American Idol, and Kourtney and Kim take New York. Entertainment Value.

If we wanted real news we’d watch CSPAN OR PBS

Oh, absolutely. BECAUSE the civil rights was an important, moral, and essential one for our nation, transmuting IT into the campaign and cause for one politician in order to tell yourself your a moral colossus, is just absurdly and destructively self-indulgent.

so Bozell blamed the World Wrestling for a death.  Hmmmm

I wonder how much the republicans can sue for being blamed for the deaths in Tucson?

 So to those who don’t know…

Did Bill Ayers kill anyone?  No
Is Bill Ayers on the lam?  No
Was Bill Ayers ever convicted and did he serve time? No

Also that link you posted as your proof seems to lean heavily on the fact that Ayers embellished or outright lied about a lot of his underground activity.

I noticed the media is playing the crap out of the “I don’t care about the poor” comment, but are conveniently leaving out the next line about “not caring about the rich”.  Context? Yeah, right. 

 I believe Mitt made it all himself.  He didn’t take any money from his father.

I have a bridge for sale.
Interested?

 Alex could have just as easily posted a headline that read:  “Romney
doesn’t care about the very rich”, but instead, she chose to push the
other statement without his full commentary

Kinda like Mitt did to President Obama in his first ad?

Do you think if they added the rest of the comment, people would be taking it the same way? How about Obama calling corpsmen “corpsemen”? Didn’t hear much about that unwise comment, did you?

The rich aren’t struggling. Duh.

It all has to do with their narrative at FOX or any others associated with the Republican/Tea Party.

depends on their lawyers and lobbyists. WWE’s at the time was Rick Santorum.

Juan pretty much impeached what McGlowan said about the great liberal media bias when he mentioned that Limbaugh and others on the right were criticizing Romney over his comment.

Yeah, you never heard about that on Fox News, Rush, Hannity, Glenn Beck…

Heck yeah, a man like Mitt Romney worked hard, paid for his own education and never got a leg up at any point in his life thanks to wealth and family connections.

He’s the embodiment of the American dream, showing that anyone can make it, despite the handicaps of being born into a wealthy political family with ties to a major religion. :)

Are you Glenn Beck?

I bet you watch Faux News 24/7.

HEADLINE:  Angela McGlowan Says Mitt Romney Won’t Get Fair Treatment From Media Because ‘He Is Not Liberal’

EVIDENCE: Well, the coverage at Mediaite, for starters….

You cant let go of Palin. This is what is wrong with you and others on the left…You guys cant live without hating or name calling someone else. Still after three years its Bush this and Palin that.

 If someone disagrees with Obama policy… first call them stupid then if that does not work call them racist! 

 The new democrat party is the party of Blame and cowardliness!

No, you’re supporting CNN with your notion that this is how they’re supposed to act.

I see an admission of having been wrong, not an admission of lying. That would look more like this: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/11/opinion/the-news-we-kept-to-ourselves.html

Brian McDonnell’s family might beg to differ.  http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/03/11/BATK16DHA4.DTL

“Guilty as hell. Free as a bird. America is a great country.” – Bill Ayers

Where’s the trying to silence them? Disagreeing with them or even condemning them is not trying to silence them.

More drivel from the Ayn Rand “How to be an A-hole” school of thought. You should “seek” help with that, teabagger. You’ll thank “us” for it later. Or not, “we” don’t really care!

They can try, but ultimately they will fail.

Just a note at what time this interview happened was around 7:30 PM, which means it was part of Faux News ‘opinion programming’.

So no need to take it as anything other then a Mitt Romney’s SuperPac Ad, with no facts, substance, or relevancy of any kind.

We should just make Mitt King once he takes over the presidency. 

or Kilmeade.  You have to admit, there is a trifecta of Stupid on F&F.

No, sweetie, Palin was a choice to pander to (1) GOP base; and (2) attempt to capture the disaffected Hillary supporters.

It just revealed another layer of the GOP and how UnSerious and out of touch they were. Your kind are the ones in denial about her affect on Independent voters and giving Obama the presidency on a silver platter.  As in, how did that work out for ya?

Then, your kind continue to give her platforms and relevance.  Even after her half-term Governor stint.  Even after verbal/comprehension gaffe after gaffe.

Your side has been blustering about Obama since day 0.  Wailing over the decline/problems in America.  And your current batch of GOP nominees are sh*t tacos with various forms of enteritis inside. 

Your choices equate to bloody diarrhea or explosive diarrhea with a side of Salmonella/Shigella. 

The words “liberal mainstream media” has become this Pavlovian buzzword amongst Conservatives yet they never get tired of it. The faster they can lump everything into one bucket, the faster they know who to hate without having to do any messy thinking.

But FNC knows that and they pander to it. So, I guess everyone wins! FNC gets ratings, Conservatives get to hate things and liberals get to keep getting elected president.

My CEO spoke to us the other day and said that he and the board decided to cancel our pension plan. The executives deemed the move necessary to pay dividends to the stockholders and bonuses for themselves. We workers are just giddy. After all, we knew how important it was to sacrifice for the good of the company.

Yes, not about what was said in context; their criticism is based on their knowing how the DNC and most of their media allies will spin the comment.

The comment and the distortion it has generated will play itself out. 

I guess, we’ll just have to see what the reaction is in all “57 states.”

Leave it to FOX to make excuses for dumb Mitt. It’s not the media’s fault. They record things said and post a story. Unlike FOX that just makes things up. Even druggie Limbaugh thought Mitt was hurting Republicans.

Dayum! That’s cold.

I think it’s more of a weave than a wig, but your point is taken, and agreed with.

Yup. Cosign.

It was actually 7:30AM, not PM. Not really sure what your point is.

One of the few times I have heard Ms. McGowan say something I agree with.   As soon as Romney gets a clear run at the nomination, he will get the same treatment that all republican candidates get. No positive coverage.  Any negative story regarding the democrat will be spiked.  Any story that compares him favorably to Obama will get spiked or spun to the point where it is made to look like a trivial difference.  All of his supporters will then also be marginalized  as weird or out of sync with the “normal people”.

Romney’s point was valid.  Our problem with the poverty programs is not the care of the very poor, we have endless programs for them.  Our problem is the people who can work, but not in jobs that pay enough to not need some help.  If you can work at a diner for $10/hr, you are doing useful work, but thanks to the “Great Society”, we kick those people out of the welfare system leaving them without any help.   So we end up with the people we will never see support themselves (and their costs to the government) being multiplied by the many (who could help themselves some, and cost us all less) being pushed down into full welfare dependence.

As a politician, he’s so utterly unqualified that I can’t imagine how he ever thought that he could get elected. To anything.
Other than by buying it.
That’s no one’s fault but his.
But keep on defending him, it suits you.

We understood.
Calling Dr Freud.

Just

Pablo thinks that he can spin us.

She aspired to mediocrity.

It hasn’t been 3 years.
She hasn’t gone away, and doesn’t intend to.
Apparently, she still rests in a warm place in your heart, too.
But not in ours.
And we have far more, in the way of arguments, than any of you do.
Not to mention reason, logic, facts, and brains.

As for name-calling, might I suggest that you take a good look around, then clean up your own filthy house before you worry about ours. And none of you here ever disagree  specifically with any one Obama policy, just with his overall existence.

Blame and cowardliness? Have you been listening to Gingrich bitching about Romney, lately? He brings the meaning of ‘blame’ to a new level entirely.
As for cowardliness, (isn’t cowardice a better choice, less awkward?), we aren’t afraid of you slobs. That’s for sure.
 
Either up your game, or stay in the sandbox.

Why does the fact that he’s rich qualify him to be president?
The White House is just an extension of his naked ambition. Nothing more.
Who was the last businessman to be president?
Bush? Was he even a businessman? Anyway, he crashed the economy, among other sins.
The worst crash since Hoover. Another businessman.

He still hoping for a tuition refund from Trump (non) University.

Considering LOL FOXNEWS gets the highest rating out of CNN, MSNBC and FOX, why the fuss? It would seem beneficial if they stopped complaining about what others are doing and started backing Romney. I guess it makes more money bashing others, rather than standing up for their guy.

I know….like the comment about Obama saying “Americans were lazy” remember that? Context only matters I suppose when a conservative/Republican says it. 

Coming from someone on Fox fake news, her statement regarding Romney lacks very serious credibility.

Fox shows real news from 9 to 4pm. Anything outside that timeframe is opinion programming and does not have to be factual or balanced.

If you quote anything from that time frame it’s the same as quoting something from the Rush Limbaugh radio show.
