but I sure heard a lot of talk about whether he's 8 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag versus 9 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.

if the guy was right and Romney talked hard right in the campaign and then cut deals in the middle once elected, the base of the right would go crazy. They compared it to Bush I signing off on taxes after he said "Read my lips".

Jim VandeSomething.

I can see how the OP thought he was a Romney surrogate. Just as slimy.

12. I came in when my husband yelled for me to come watch and didn't hear who was from where.

He just kept apologizing for Romney the whole time and Tweety and the other reporter were pretty obviously in opposition to just about everything he said. I just assumed it was one of those deals where they get a conservative and a liberal to be 'fair'.

And the guy was trying like hell to get them to cut Romney some slack and Tweety was just out and out laughing at him.

It was AWESOME!

He said, in essence, Romney is lying has ass off to the base and once they elect him, he will throw them aside and 'govern from the middle'. It was very bizarre because he was actually trying to shill FOR Romney, he failed spectacularly.

just shows how cravenly in the tank they were back then

Gore sighed the debates away, I guess, or maybe he was just too orange......

13. i think that was 2004 where Bush lost all the debates but Media whores

never gave credit to Kerry for doing such a good job on it. they never went after bush for stuff like hard work, what about poland, and that long pause he had the way they did Gore for sighing .

the sighing was also one of those things pushed by right wingers and then the media whores push it to make it into some major story.

14. Oh you're right, I was thinking of 2004.

I hated the media for the way they treated Kerry and Gore. And exactly - the way they treated Gore in 2000, it was a disgrace that they ignored how W did much, much worse in 2004.

HOW THE FUCK DOES HE KNOW? ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING REGARDING ROMNEY??? The man has made it his purpose to be as vanilla as he can. VAGUE ROMNEY.

What was in that tape is how he regards 47% of this country, the entire Democratic Party, are moochers and freeloaders.
