Gotta be careful in campaign season when every word you say is turned and twisted and discombobulated by the press and opposition.
The Los Angeles Times story that relayed Romney’s airplane remark to the world was based off a pool report written by the New York Times’s Ashley Parker. When we asked Parker this morning whether it seemed as if Romney made the mark in jest, she left no doubt. “Romney was joking,” she e-mailed. Parker told us that while the pool report didn’t explicitly indicate that Romney was joking, it was self-evident that he was. “The pool report provided the full transcript of his comments on Ann’s plane scare,” she said, “and it was clear from the context that he was not being serious.“
Funnier than watching macfans shoot themselves on the foot is watching sheeple’s tug of war
Yesterday or the day before, I think, it was some dude did a Ryan joke and the DNC media ran with it.
It doesn’t even matter much any more. The DNC media say something and then I have to do a major search and wait a few days because all to often it turns out to be brain fart.
The same for the polls. Nearly all are based on Obama getting the same level of support from some groups he has seriously shafted. Sure most blacks will vote for Obama but a lot of the more pragmatic ones aren’t that happy about him. The Latinos know he made promises he didn’t even try to keep. The Catholics know he is stomping on their church. The Jews know he is no friend of the Jewish state. Black Christians know Obama doesn’t pass muster and it goes on and on. If you are business person you most likely think he’s not your friend.
My best guess is you show up and vote for your candidate and hope he doesn’t try to do something ultra nasty if he doesn’t get his way. My guess is he may be planning to haul this into court if it is at all close.
