   “Huntsman, Pawlenty, oh come on. Yeah we are going to let you lefties choose our candidate. We did that last time with McCain. How did that work out for us?”

   The problem with Romney is that there wasn’t any far right conservative in the race so he took advantage and pretended to be far right and a LOT of the far right crowd actually believed him. I know you guys even want MORE conservative man than Romney to be running like Demmint for example. But think about it, that’s just like if the left wanted to elect Sean Penn for office. Will that work ?

   Sen. Scott Brown “won’t say if he still supports Romney” oh boy, this GOP cookie is beginning to crumble.

   If Obama wins I want Pelosi and Reid. We may as well go down the toilet with one big flush.

   The left and the corrupt vermin in the lib. media may get Obama another four years. That still won’t make him a success.

   16.3 trillion in debt on election day. 10.6 when he took office.

   @ Sam

   Sean Penn could beat Mitt Romney, if 82 year old Clint Eastwood and an empty chair can upstage Romney at his own convention nomination, Sean Penn could probably beat Romney as well. Heck Snookie and Lohan are gaining ground…..lol!

   It seems we should never make a general statement about Muslims. General statements are reserved to Christians, Jews, GOPers, Right-Wingers, Righties, Tea-Baggers, and NRA members. Muslims are just too diverse to group into one big bowl of punch.

   @ Sicilian papa,

   “You got Obama. He is to the left of Lenin.”

   That’s actually true… about the imaginary invisible Obama that you guys created in your heads.

   The REAL Obama is actually very conservative to many progressives, I personally see him as a centrist.

   Mother Jones, the left-wing magazine that released a controversial video of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s remarks to a fundraiser in May, now admits that it has no full tape of what Romney said, and that its video is missing “one to two minutes” at the most important moment.

   Lies do work do they not

   ================================

   Presidential candidates don’t usually call half of the country unmotivated sloths. Hahaha. I can almost feel another Obama term looming like an impending cardiac arrest.

    Hey Righties!!!!! Remember all your drama on this matter???

    (CBS/AP) The Justice Department’s inspector general cleared Attorney General Eric Holder Wednesday of knowing about the gun-walking operation known as Fast and Furious that allowed thousands of weapons to cross into Mexico.

    Politico-The report essentially clears Attorney General Eric Holder — who has become lightning rod for Republican criticism of the operation — of any wrongdoing or errors in judgment.

    (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department’s internal watchdog faulted 14 federal employees on Wednesday for the botched anti-gun-trafficking effort known as “Operation Fast and Furious,” prompting two senior officials to leave the government but clearing Attorney General Eric Holder of any wrongdoing.

    Poor RePubs, you failed on Solydra, now failed again on Fast And Furious with all the phony accusations and conspiracy theories.

    HOLLY SMOKES!!!

    Rachel Maddow killed everyone, even Bill. I believe this is the best non-event ratings she had on her show since it begun in 2008. Congratulations Rachel.

    where you come up with the idea that Lenin was on the left. He was nothing but a self centered power grabber full of propaganda. He was not a communist and certainly not from the left. After the revolution. Nothing changed but the faces . there is no difference between Czar Nicholas and the nobleman in the so-called leadership that took over Russia.

    just more royalty and elitist running the Over the common man

    This is an area in which the US cannot afford to concede ground. Offended Muslims should either avoid watching offensive materials or dry hump camels. Providing any other option is irresponsible.

    Speaker John Boner must be crying again

    AG. Eric Holder was never dragged out in handcuffs and put into a congressional jail cell like he hoped and prayed for.

    So sad that the family of the fallen border agent was used as pawns in this witch hunt. Their calls have gone unanswered from the politically motivated RePubs. That’s the second tragedy in this matter.

    Muslims in general are great people, your broad statement is very inaccurate and ridiculous.

    =========================

    They’re great as long as you’re not drawing a picture called “the prophet” on a piece of paper. That’s an offense worthy of decapitation.

    We are on a dangerous path if we continue to ban school dances and religious relics while assigning all but the mildest form of expression as ‘hate crime’ all in order to avoid offending someone because of the possible law suit or ignorant uprisings resulting in death in some other part of the world. We are guaranteed the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (understood to be material possession by the founding fathers), not the right to not be offended.

    I gotta be careful or I’ll start ranting on this.

    Great read, seems there may be some truth…

    The Democratic National Convention last week provided an opportunity for MSNBC to introduce themselves to a wider audience. And that they did. The channel was viewed in primetime by more than nine million people during the three days of the convention. That’s nearly 10% higher than the RNC viewership. And for the first time ever they scored a ratings victory over top-rated Fox News for a full week.

    With the conventions over MSNBC still has the glow of victory about it. On Monday September 10, Rachel Maddow beat Sean Hannity by 12% in the key 25-54 year old demographic. Lawrence O’Donnell had an even bigger margin of victory (29%) over Greta Van Susteren. And for good measure, the repeat of The Ed Show beat the repeat of the O’Reilly Factor, and Maddow’s repeat beat Hannity’s. That’s four solid hours on top for MSNBC.

    These wins were achieved without the help of the convention. And the programs on Fox were stacked with guests that should have been big draws for them. Hannity featured Tea Party darling, Sen. Rand Paul. Van Susteren touted an exclusive with Rep. Darrell Issa who has been hammering the Obama administration over the salacious (and phony) Fast & Furious controversy.

    If MSNBC can hold just a portion of these numbers over time, it could signal a turnaround in the cable news hierarchy. MSNBC has not been particularly successful in building their audience, while Fox has masterfully captured the glassy-eyed disciples of conservatism. Time will tell if this is a blip or a trend.

    In related news, the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press released their post-convention survey of attitudes and opinions of the candidates and their events. The headline notes that President Obama was overshadowed by keynoter Bill Clinton. That provides a stark contrast for the RNC where Mitt Romney was similarly overshadowed by Clint Eastwood. Who would you rather be overshadowed by? And Fox News viewers affirm Pew’s findings:

    The familiar bunch of TVBN republicans have pulled a David Copperfield today, haven’t they? Probably out there creating jobs or complaining about creating jobs.
