Liberals are trying soooo hard to find something "controversial" that they have to resort to making things up!

There was nothing at all wrong with, or controversial with, what Mitt Romney said. What he said was the absolute truth; roughly 47% are not going to vote for him. He realizes that. They are Obama voters, who see themselves as "victims," and he is not likely to change their minds.

That was all he was saying, which is clear to anyone who heard his statement. I heard it. Neil Cavuto played it in it's entirety on his show. It was a complete 'yawner,' and it was plain as day what he meant.

The left is trying to stir up controversy where none exists. That's what they always do.

Oh really? When did they do this.

By the way, Brietbart and Fox do not "selectively edit" what they post. Interesting you chose those two words; it indicates you parot all the talking points, as those are the words they used when they claimed Fox "selectively edited" the Obama Roanoke "you didn't build that" comment. Even Bob Beckle on Fox couldn't help himself. He too used the "prescribed" wording to frame his comments.

That doesn't make any sense. If it was doctored Romney would have said something. This was only a few months ago. Although, with all the crap that comes out of Romney's mouth who knows if he can remember all the **** he's said.

That was proven to be a lie from the moment they posted the fraudulently edited James O'Keefe videos regarding ACORN.

Actually, we know that both O'Keefe and Breitbart, and Fox News and Romney, used desceptive edits, because we saw the complete tapes, and found that they did not say what the people who edited them said that they did. For example, we know that Sherrod was not discussing how she discriminated against a white farmer while working in the USDA, despite Breitbart's claim. In fact, she helped the farmers, the incident took place long before she joined the USDA, and she stated that she wished there were more white people attending her speech.

We know that many of the ACORN workers who supposedly were helping the supposed pimp, we're actually giving the supposed prostitute advise on how to escape, calling the cops, and in one case even photographing their liscence plate.

We know "you didn't build that" was a lie, because the full clip clearly showed him referring to roads and bridges, and not an individual business.

And now it's your turn. What in the hidden tapes shows how Romney wouldn't "kick the can down the road" on the Israel/Palestine issue? What shows that he does not, in fact, think that 47% of Americans refuse to take personal responsibility because they don't pay income taxes? What, exactly, excuses his claim that he'd have an easier time in the US if his grandparents had been Mexican? And where does he state an economic policy that doesn't rely on the markets just saying "Woohoo, it's Mitt Romney!" and just rising?

I wonder if, beyond Fox news and talk radio, if the continued liberal propaganda will spawn more conservative television news programs and potentially a national conservative newspaper. In that fashion, legitimate journalism may return in these venues. The propagandists can continue with thier far left wing propaganda.
Oh, please. You're smarter than that. Why doesn't an intelligent person such as yourself riddle me this:

If the tape is altered, then why the hell did Romney come out and acknowledge it and defend it? Are you saying that Romney likes to lie about what he knows he said, or are you saying that he has no idea what he said?

HE did ask for the whole thing to be released days ago.
