Tweety has been on five minutes, and

I'm ready to strangle him already. He's spewing Gallup polls with women favoring Mittens by one point. Why do they think women are so stupid that they would simply switch camps for NO DAMNED REASON? What has Mittens said that would sway any woman here? Please inform me! Because this sister is losing it!!!

SHIT!

Poll after poll shows Romney has gained ground...and Obama has lost...the race has gone from a near sure thing to a very close horse race..all since the debate.

Obama lost the first debate...he allowed lie after lie to go unchallenged....he appeared weak and uncertain... and if he has another performance like the first one he is toast!

Matthews knows that.. and denying the obvious will only result in another debacle like the one two years ago..and you can say Hello to President Romney..

Sorry but that is the sad truth..and the sooner people stop trying to kill the messenger..and make needed changes.. the better Obama's chances will be..

nothing more complicated than that. Romney chose to lie, Obama did not.

If you want to cheer on the Lie and pretend Truth should dress up as something else, then congratulations - it was long in the making but the media finally did convince some of you that lieing is okay if someone declares you a winner anyway.

have fun. more to come!

how many times has DU proclaimed Obama a loser/caver/weak, yadda yadda. Why he should do that! He should say this! We are so much smarter! yah!

And the man always overcomes the hardships that seem impossible to beat.

My bet will be on Obama, and always will be.

and yes, Matthews and his little troop at MSNBC did obliquely say lying is okie dokie as it took a far back seat to their yowling at the President. fuckem all.

You are absolutely right.

With all of that said, the President can completely lock it down with a great debate performance tonight. If the same guy shows up who destroyed Donald Trump at the Correspondent's Dinner, then it's all over for Rmoney.

versus 95 pound, polite weakling President Obama, and just swooned across the aisle because we are, ourselves, so weak and emotional, not to mention impressed by manly men like rMoneybags.

It couldn't possibly be an outlier or fuckup by Gallup. Because statistics never ever lie. double

And deeply regret the decline of journalism over the last few decades. As a consumer, such is my right. As a 'journalist', self-importance is not their option. That isn't journalism and therein lies my frustration, having come from a long line of newspaper people. I don't even hate Faux for their cynical presentation of lies as 'news.' It's beneath consideration as a news source. Perhaps some feel hatred for TV. I'll reserve that feeling for far more important issues in life.

are you saying everything went just fine last debate and Obama should do the same tonight? Is that really what you want?

You think truth has some magical power to make itself known? you really think the American public has a built in BS detector and so there is no need to worry? Let Romney say whatever he wants and all will work out fine?
Is that what you believe?
