How about a little research and expose in the difference the networks covered rising gas prices when Bush was in office – compared to now!?
- and be sure to capture both the Volume & Tone of each.

Fact: Bachmann will learn that the fight is on. In a fight it is a good thing to throw the first punch with a clean connection than to take it right. Come on GOP go for it and sharpen the skills needed to win.

Gasoline prices are dropping rather nicely.

I didn’t find it all that impressive a group. My impression of T-Paw was greatly, greatly diminished, and my impression of Batty Michelle actually improved a bit. If I were looking for head cheerleader for an AARP rugby squade, she’d be my first choice.

Please define “rather nicely.”

______________

Now this story is an example of where “the media” is going wrong in today’s society. In a quest for ratings, they’re trying to instigate a fight between two people. The relative importance of Bachmann’s views on Romney-anything is minimal… especially at this stage. However, a fight between the two of them is something the networks would be able to talk about for a while, so they push it.

But it’s a no-win situation for the candidate they’re interviewing. If they answer aggressively, they look like they’re trying to start an argument… if they answer passively (or non-answer, like here) they look like they’re avoiding or dodging the question. Either way, they come out looking worse for wear.

I’m not entirely sure it’s a left-right thing either… I’m pretty confident the media would do the same for a group of Democratic candidates as well. The only catch being they wouldn’t do it to their “chosen” candidate. For example, they would do it to Ms. Clinton, but wouldn’t have done it to Mr. Obama. But in general, IMO, it’s just them trying to manufacture a fight for ratings purposes… and that’s not journalism.

Yeah, at the rate we’re going, they’ll be back down to twice what they were on 1-20-09 before you know it. Unless we further devalue the currency by trying to print our way out of our problems. Then they’re going nowhere but up.

Right. Check the Palin/Bachmann feud they’re desperately trying to manufacture. I’d suggest there’s more behind it than ratings/pageviews, though.

A friend in from LA told me that gas prices are near $5 in LA. That’s not good. :) But thank goodness it’s to people in LA so they can’t complain about their liberal policies. :)

Even at the C4P site, people are seeing the media hoopla for what it is: manufactured intra-party fights. That’s not to say that people like Bachmann or Romney (I don’t like either for the Presidency) but we can see media spin for what it is.

Hey, Radical Rightist Republican Reactionaries, during the recent spike prices never attained the W record of 22 July 08, and the national average has now fallen to US $3.62. LA has fallen from US $4.23 to US $3.95 in less than a month. Let’s deal in facts, not mindless anecdotes. I realize that doesn’t much feed moaning nor does it help in vicious bashing of our President, but the facts are the facts,

Not according to my friend. She says that in LA proper it’s near $5. There’s no need to bash the President. We can operate on facts alone.

@ TRRK

Can you provide sources, please?

So what’s one of the main differences between “RomneyCare” and “ObamaCare”?

The former was championed by a rich white Republican with strong ties to corporate America, and the latter … wasn’t.

Another difference? The Massachusetts health plan covers abortions, whereas the federal plan doesn’t.

Hiring Ed Rollins is a stroke of genius by Michele Bachmann.

Ed Rollins has always been a very fierce critics and a very indomitable opponent to those bunch of racist teabagers. By making Rollins her chief campaign manager, Bachmann has brilliantly, skilfully and strategically dissociated herself forever from those bunch of racist teabagers.

Through the hard works of Rollins, Bachmann has managed to make herself more acceptable and more electable among the very much well-respected elders of the great Republican Party like Gov Romney, as compared to Sarah Palin, that racist Teabagers-in-Chief.

@ lab

Good point, lab. Anytime someone disagrees with something President Obama has done, let’s look at race first. That’s the real important and relevant part of the issue.

It’s not identity politics to play the race game all… the… time.

/sarcasm

weird I didn’t know President Obama, or President Bush for that matter we’re in the business of Oil Speculation.. I wasn’t aware either we’re directly responsible for the changes in Gasoline prices.. hmm..

Funny how people on the right and alot of corporations want Gov’t to stay out of business, YET at the same time, the big oil companies who are making billions and billions in profit come out and say if they don’t continue to receive the billions they get from said Gov’t in subsities, they’ll have no choice but to raise prices..

She’s nothing but talking points and catch phrases.

The Republicans wanted a national plan with a federal mandate when Clinton was in office. it’s all just a game of politics.. It’s like saying the country is broke and can’t afford this or that and at the same time, hand over Billions of American tax payer dollars every year to Israel, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, ect ect.. its all a big game.

I can’t speak for LA, but I was in Sacramento over the weekend and the price there was in the $3.75 range

She said that gas was $4.70 or so in LA. She’s been home for just over two weeks. I lived in Long Beach for awhile and it was standard to have it 20-40 cents more than in the Midwest. It’s $3.89 or so in WI. I’m sure a lot of it has to do with transportation costs.

Fact: Yes it does. Obama decree made no changes and has no weight of change to signed healthcare that includes abortions.

The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in California fell 5.4 cents from the previous week to $3.940, according to the Energy Department’s weekly survey of service stations. The state’s average price has fallen 26.7 cents a gallon since it peaked at $4.257 on May 2.

Sense or since? what are you trying to say? Do you need help in coughing out the bs.

Bachmanns job isn’t to hammer Mitt her job is to hammer Obomber. ;)

Yep. And now they decry that same plan. Just like the Dems opposed the wars until they were in charge and now the roles have flipped.

Indeed. Both parties are only interested in the next election and pleasing their big dollar lords and masters. Neither has the least interest in governing and not one idea of what the people want or need.

Jaurez said:

Actually, that is incorrect. Her job is to win the primaries and to do that, she needs to beat the other Republican candidates, including the father of state mandated health insurance – Mitt. Obama is a Democrat in case you haven’t noticed and not on any GOP primary ballot. See how that works?

I strongly disagree. Bachmann can continue to hammer Obomber w/out hammering her own and still come out the winner. See how that works?

Bachmann won’t answer direct questions because she can’t. Every response she gives just turns back to her talking points and catch phrases. We know that here because we see the different clips of her shoveling the same shit with no substance.

The public at large will catch onto to this as she gets more mainstream exposure and people start paying attention to her. She has no chance and is better off not criticizing Romney because he will be the Republican candidate.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she loses her seat in the house after she gets exposed in this laughable campaign of hers.

Jaurez said:

No she can’t. At some point she is going to have to distinguish herself from her opponents. And that cannot be done if she is running against Obama and not the other GOP candidates. She has to beat them first.

Keeva said:

She can do that by pummeling Obombers failed policies.

Libs want us to play that game, but she isn’t biting. This is about beating Ozero and ANYONE on that stage would be FAR better than him.

What a majestic group of goose-stepping goons. Murcuh’s finest cryptoNazis.

The biggest difference is that the states may do many things which are forbidden to the federal government. (Read the 10th Amendment.) In our federal system, the federal government has jurisdiction in some areas and the states do in others.

So, while ObamaCare violates the US Constitution, Massachusetts can go ahead and do crazy things like passing their own government health care legislation.

In a somewhat related fashion, insurance companies have always been regulated by the states — health insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, every kind of insurance. So the federal takeover of health insurance is an intrusion into an area where the 50 states have always had the final word.

Ms Bachmann has shown a fairly sophisticated knowledge of the US Constitution, especially compared to former professor Barack Obama. Among the other candidates, Herman Cain is the only one I know of who has taken this same position, though it would make sense for Mitt Romney.

As far as Obamacare goes, Obamacare will stay although Obama himself might have to go. The thing is, if Obama goes, so does the Republican house, therefore, Obamacare stays. And once it kicks in, It will be harder than Medicare to get rid of. Will it kill jobs? Probably not, but anyone holding a job just for the insurance might quit since they’ll be able to get insurance without a job, so in that sense you could say it will kill jobs.

Why should she go against Romney, his policy did not effect all of America. Sounds like a Leftist columnist is trying to add Feces where there is none. It is Obambi that we have to beat and that we are against, not one another. Conservatives are not like Demons, they do not eat their own! Anyone but the Fool, Obama, in 2012!
