People think the media has an Obama bias. It actually has a RATINGS bias. Look how fast they turned on the admin this week, when it looked like there was blood in the water. It's all about the advertising dollars, people

Now watch all the red faces when they realize they got punked by GOP agents provocatures.

Lol! You "assure me"? What're you, a James Bond super-villain, parrying my "quest for honesty" with your rapier-like thrusts of spin and bs?

Of course there's partisan politics going on here. The GOP is ticked off. You should be ticked off. Every American should be ticked off. Obama hid behind Candy Crowley and lied to the American public in the middle of a PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE watched by the world.

Obama lied. And that doesn't offend you people. You're okay with that. The leader of your party, that sniveling coward, lied to you and me and everyone else. And you're proud of this guy. You defend this liar, the leader of your party, with ridiculous accusations about the Republicans.

I don't have to play any of you for fools, Obama did that to you all himself. And just like he hid behind Candy Crowley, he's hiding behind the MSM and you libs and Democrats and your silly indignation with the Republicans for trying to find out the truth.

Bi-partisan independent committees - bah! It's all just more covering for Obama to hide behind. I assure you.

I thought he was the dems pick. They picked him to win the race way before the first vote was cast. They did it by tearing down any republican who got some momentum. Cain.... Santorium, paul, perry...

The republicans best candidate never had a chance, Jon Huntsman, never had the funding. Maybe you missed the critcism of Romney by Gingrich and others for the dirty politics of the Romney camp. The republican solution was to run a plutocrat with offshore bank accounts, maybe they forgot 2008, great strategy.

Ticked off is when you lose a parking space. Ticked off is when you get cut off in traffic. What Republicans call ticked off I call batshiite crazy.

Now let's be very clear about something. The reason why Bush get's brought up in these conversation is because many of us are curious about where the all this ticked offness was when Colin Powell was sent before the UN to exaggerate, misrepresent, erroneously, dare I say lie, about weapons of mass destruction the result of which was 4,000+ dead Americans (we don't count other folks). That isn't about Bush, that is about today's crop of Republicans who were absolutely silent over Iraq but who have the nerve to ask why we aren't ticked off about an argument over semantics which even if we admit to the "lie" didn't result in the loss of a single life.

This discussion isn't about Bush, it is about today's Republican Party.

There should be a hearing on those GOP staffers!
I want to know who's going to jail!

And our tea party friends wonder why they are constantly ridiculed...

So why would anything the democrats have to say impact the republican primary? Let me give you a hint--it doesn't. The truth is that all of those candidates were bat poop crazy, and everyone but the very far right end of the R base knew it. The democrats didn't do anything to those candidates--they did it to themselves by opening their mouths. The money people in the party couldn't stomach any of them, and knew they'd get killed in a general election, so they threw their support to Romney. He was a terrible candidate as well--just not AS nutty--and he lost.

Oh yes, the Democrats must be so powerful that they have dominion over the right-wingers who vote in Republican primaries. Dream On

The reality, of course, was that the other GOP candidates sabotaged themselves.
