7 thru 11 didn't bother to go there. Or just stopped a day or two. Romney just about lived thee last two months and spent a couple million.
So I guess you could say it cost him about 300 bucks a vote. Shows you can buy what you need. But you Reb's don't have to worry he wont be the nominee.

And I thought the Dems were stupid. I live in Utah and the LDS live eat and breathe their religion. For example, you must have "membership card" to go out and have a drink at a tavern. I need to buy my liquour from the state here. It is socialism hiding under a republican banner. Yes, I know he was governor of Mass but he gets most of his cash from the Church. He just might get the nomination and then you will be guaranteeing another President Clinton.

i`ve got a bulletin for you,brother.....it probably don`t much matter who gets the nomination....hillary has already been anointed by the media...

no tough questions....millions of moronic soccer moms who know nothing about hillary other than she`s a "woman".....loved that "i`m your girl" quote(where`s the airsick bag?)...

giuliani is the only one that even has a remote chance.....and i`m being kind,as the media has already pounced on his marriages,his wife....and they`re trying to portray what he did after 9/11 as a negative....

as for romney...all this mormon crap is just that....crap....the guy`s not gonna turn san francisco/new york and l.a. into some kind of mormon caliphate......

 

[Chadman]

Wow...you dismiss millions of soccer moms as being moronic because they might want to see a woman as President, or something else other than the blatant moron that "represents" their country these days? And now he'll have to do that without Karl telling him what to do?!?

Yeah...it's the soccer moms that are moronic...

 

[smurphy]

Chadman, take it easy on Gardenweasel. These are tough times for his ilk. He can see that a person he detests has a good chance at becoming President. He fears that there could actually be some "payback" around here after the election because the right wing gloat-fest of 2004 will have nothing left to say.

So he tries to to find comfort through bashing the media and outing terrorist school bus drivers. Problem is, nobody bites anymore. At some point, people get tired of broken records.

The GOP congress of the past decade + the GOP president for 2 terms have been awful, frankly. Only the most stubborn right-wing supporters still cling to the misguided idea that they have been good for the country.

Already the new Dem-led Congress has taken pretty good steps forward. Again, only the most illogical people on the right refuse to acknowledge that.

Thing is, it's a very good thing for the country to change it's leadership when the current leaders are making bad decisions and not getting the job done. People like Weasel should be celebrating these changes instead of bitching and moaning. People like him are putting their own pride and ego above what's good for the country. That is simply a wrong approach.

When (if) Hillary is elected, let's see how patriotic and supportive the Weasel-types are. Let's see if he can acknowledge successes fairly instead of dwelling on negatives. Let's see if he doesn't "root for the enemy", as he accuses anyone who disagrees with him of doing simply to be able to say ' I told you so'.. It will be interesting...

Great post. The last paragraph is spot on. I look forward to hearing from our two prize patriots once she takes office.

Nice to see that Fox continues to live up to their "fair and balanced" approach to their coverage.

Anyone else notice that something is missing here?

 

[Chadman]

Yeah, I noticed something. The republicans have some really crappy candidates...

It really is sickening that they get away with this kind of stuff.

 

[Chadman]

Just wait 'til Rupert gets his "Mitts" on the Wall Street Journal...can you imagine how our financial news will be given to us at that point? Probably be some interesting charts and graphs in that pub, eh?

How can even the most right-leaning people here excuse this? FOX is absolutely killing any hope of someone like Ron Paul getting momentum. ...No, I know he wouldn't win this time around. But he could definitely make serious strides towards something big down the road.

...Hell, they even left Tancredo off! They totally excluded 4th and 5th place - who combined for nearly 1/4 of all votes!!!! F**k'n Fred Thompson who isn't even running gets more attention. FOX couldn't toss that guy's salad more if they tried. Blatant partisan bullshit.

This network is nauseating. All FOX apologists around here should at least step up and admit how bad this is....

Prediction:
Fox apologists on this issue = :00x7

CNN and MSNBC also did this when the results first came out.

It's the sort of common editorial decision anyone familiar with news organizations would see. The editors went with top three vote getters, then the candidates considered "front runners" or "best players"---condensing the results into an easy to scan graphic containing the info 'they' consider most pertinent to most folks.

Pretty standard and predictable---tho dark and conspiratorial thoughts are more fun....

You would think when people see something like this they would be wondering what is going on and move on to another news source. Who in gods name wants to be misinformed and openly lied to? It really is insanity to believe what comes out of this stations mouth. What the hell is it? Are they sending radio active mushrooms thru the screen to certain groups? You hear the words far left and looney left well its this type of bullshit that breeds it. I guess like i said before, if the truth is not a big part of your life than keep on believing these con artist.

Can you show us? did they also mistakenly cough cough put a D in Front of that fag Foley's name? How about leaving out 4 key words with what Barrack said the other day? There are so many more let me know if you need them.

Did they? Would like to see that. It's innexcusable from any network.

What ever happened to "We report, you decide?".

Please show me proof of CNN and MSNBC also doing this....
