MSM Going Out Of Its Way To Bend Over Backwards And Make Excuses For Rmoney.....

they are giving him every benefit of the doubt on taxes, off shore accounts, his etch-a-sketch flipflops, his lies, his twisting of Obama's words, his upcoming overseas trip, etc.

I'm really starting to get pissed off. They are dumping on Obama every chance they get. This a.m. I heard the Obama should know better and choose his words better - commenting on his 'building businesses' statement.

They are dumping on Obama for the economy and the high unemployment numbers when they all know how we arrived at this - 8 years of BushCo and now 3 1/2 years of the Repugs doing everything possible to stonewall and make Obama look bad.

Doesn't anyone tell the truth any more? It's no wonder that our children are growing up as they are - because the values of this country have deteriorated.

Lies, deceit, violence, etc - everything is acceptable these days. There is no accountability, lack of discipline and lack of respect.

I'm really sickened by all this.

See Bush 2000 and 2004.
See McCain 2008.

They had to give up on McCain after his "fundamentals of the economy are strong" after the meltdown. Impossible to cover up after that.

But they are going whole hog with Romney.

It woud be nice if you specified who THEY are; the TV news and newspapers that I see have been both revealing and critical of Romney's issues.

I repeat my comment. If you have complaints about specific individuals, reporters OR punits, call them out. Overarching rants don't promote useful discussion.
