They have more on Mitt.

He was never vetted by the Republicans, just like Palin.

Their whole MO is based on faith, not facts.

They want to believe that the President wasn't born in Hawaii.

So they wanted to believe in Mitt and for those of us over fifty this feels a whole lot like Eagleton.

The President's campaign is going to roll it out step by step.

All of the questions that the Republicans were too scared to ask.

Coulter knew. Nominate Romney and we lose.

And having Senator, (and Mormon) Reid lead shows how careful they have been.

And Dana Bash to confirm. Bash is solid. Professional and a woman.

Its going to make a great HBO movie, and we all know there is more.

I was also thinking this would make a great movie -- one that I could watch over and over and never get tired of it. We don't know the ending yet, but it looks like it is going to be a happy ending. An ending where Romney just barely makes it through the convention, hobbles on for a few more weeks while his polling continuously slips, he loses by 30% or more, is indicted soon afterward, fights a costly and losing battle in court, his wife leaves him and takes the horse and finally Mitt ends up with a cell next to Wesley Snipes. That would be a great ending!

I want them to protect Mitt too.

There are gun nuts out there railing about him being anti-gun as governor.

And I can imagine a false flag where they try to pin it on a Liberal.

Most gun nuts don't have enough guts to actually follow through with their threats but we have seen the Bush/Rove team work their "magic" many times.

That is kind of dickish Harry, this is the shit Republicans pull and it pisses me off. (making political charged accusations into Public record) It took me about 15 seconds to realize, this isn't a political move, Harry KNOWS Romney hasn't paid taxes for 10 years.

It was a direct callout to Romney to pull himself out of the election, if he didn't Harry would take him down. Romney in his to be expected arrogance, kept going. Now Harry is going to knock him out.

Classy move by Harry, he told the guy what was going to happen, gave him an out, and now will take the next step.

with piss down voodoo economics, they fell into the trap of believing their own bs.

If they didn't bother to vet, it's because they totally believe they can bs their way through anything, so reality "doesn't matter." They truly believe that "perception is reality" and that with enough money they can control perception. They are truly "faith based."

Faith, meet brick wall.

do they KNOW that?

I often wonder why McCain stuck his neck out for RobMe ? He knows a lot of the tax background. Maybe RobMe told him "No worries, I won't release any of it."

Funny on another site....calling us "Worthers" (play on Birthers). And are demanding RobMe's "Worth Certificate".

Despite opposition criticism regarding the campaign from even those in his party, Obama set a strategic course and has stayed with it. It is impossible for me to see how anyone could at this point criticize his progressively decimating attack on his opponent. Muhammad Ali would rate it "Rope-a-Dope" plus!
