Romney said,” if you are explaining, you are losing”
Watch Romney on Fox ABC CBS NBC tonight explaining.
DB & MWA in posing negative comments only about others, now waiting for the the third loser Jim to post too.
Can’t beleive the Fox News Ratings. There are that many gullible people out there? Fox News is the worst most biased right wing BS I’ve ever heard. They never present the facts nor anything close to truth. Can’t beleive the country has so many out of touch people.

We say the same thing about you. Watching NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN. I want to give a little credit where credit is due ABC has been somewhat fair in there reporting lately.
Storyteller in-chief….
Story Time with Obama…..
Coming soon to MSNBC and Comedy Central….
Ed, you shouldn’t attack this Maddow guy personally. I know he has a baby face and a large adams apple…..but I wouldn’t attack him personally. (Maybe Maddow is Ron Reagan in drag….u think?)
Like those God awful Keith “the gasbag of all gasbags” Olberman Friday night readings. In Texas they made prisoners watch that and Supreme Court in a rare 9-0 decision ruled that was cruel and unusual punishment.
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has laid bare the Obama administration’s effort to delay the impact of Medicare cuts in the health care law until after the 2012 election.
Under the new law, cuts to Medicare Advantage funding would force many seniors off their preferred health plans. This aspect of the law was originally intended to go into effect before the election in November, but fearing the political backlash, the administration launched an $8.35 billion “demonstration project” that would effectively delay the cuts until after the election.
The GAO report urged the administration to cancel the project, citing its numerous “design shortcomings” and noting that the program fails to “conform to the principles of budget neutrality,” meaning the $8.35 billion is not offset by spending cuts or other revenue, and will have to be borrowed.
We really shouldn’t attack Maddow because of her looks and her sexuality. My god have you heard her talk about the unborn, cruel, souless, cold hearted.
To call her names is low brow to critize her positions is fair game.
Hey msnbc?! Just give up you dirty hippies with your liberal bs. Your ratings suck! And get that racist sharpton off ur crappy network. All the retard does is turn EVEERYTHING into a race issue! Black this white that. My god no one limes you or your low ratings network
Can’t beleive the MSNBC Ratings. Are there that many gullible people out there? MSNBC is the worst most biased left wing BS I’ve ever heard. They never present the facts nor anything close to truth. Can’t beleive the country has so many out of touch people.
See how that works?
Fammus1, and yet, they have consistently better ratings than CNN tabloid/youtube news coverage.
The first thing a cult does is claim that everyone is lying to you…..sounds a lot like Fox News huh? lol.
Can’t beleive the CNN Ratings. Are there that many gullible people out there? CNN is the worst most biased right/left wing BS I’ve ever heard. They never present the facts nor anything close to truth. Can’t beleive the country has so many out of touch people.
Hmm…
@Ed … you’re a disgrace and a sorry excuse for a human-being. And I’m being kind saying that. It sounds like you are insecure in your own masculinity. Homophobe much?
I love it. All the righties are out in full force tonight ranting against MSNBC. I know they must be doing something right. Because if they were insignificant, you all would be ignoring them.
Rave on, MSNBC, rave on!
@dave … you and Ed need to get to a dark room asap and get it on. I know the both of you want it sooo much.
So, Rock Center with Brian Williams gets 2 million plus MORE viewers than O’Reilly. Where’s the headline about that? Hahaha.
Personally all news outlets are biased.
I love it. All the lefties are out in full force tonight ranting against FNC. I know they must be doing something right. Because if they were insignificant, you all would be ignoring them.
Rave on, FNC, rave on!
