How many Republican politicians have you seen out defending Romney and his Bain shenanigans today?

[NNN0LHI]

[RagAss]

1. Just CBS, ABC, NBC and CNN...and oh yeh...of course...FOX.

[zbdent]

9. Fux goes without saying ...

but yeah, go ahead and say it anyway ...

[senseandsensibility]

12. lol...sad but true

Otherwise, none. Micheal Steele wasn't biting on MSNBC today when given a chance to defend Mitt.

[HughBeaumont]

24. Crap, Nothing But Conservatives (CNBC) has been strangely silent on this.

I thought for SURE Joey Kernen would have someone damage controlling away for Mitt.

[madaboutharry]

2. I only saw Michael Steele saying he has to release his tax returns.

[DevonRex]

3. Hell, even Haley Barbour said

he'd release his tax returns if he were running.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. None.

[jaysunb]

5. Probably the same number of Democrats that are defending

and touting the ACA....same shit, different party.

[russspeakeasy]

10. You are too close to the truth, so your post needs to be edited.

[jaysunb]

23. LOL ! n/t

[mucifer]

22. When I listen to liberal talk radio I often hear congresspeople defending ACA

I don't know what you are talking about.

[jaysunb]

25. yup, liberal talk radio is where most Americans

get their information.

[robinlynne]

26. no, you don't. He/she is against fascism, corporate control of government.

[Andy823]

6. Good question.

I think that they all know what kind of a liar Romney is, and I don't think you will see many of them, at least not those who want to stay in office, trying to defend this moron. I think they are all sitting back and will let Romney sing in the wind on this one.

I just wonder what is going to happen at the convention? I mean will the just let Romney have the nomination, or will some of the other "clowns" that lost put up a fight and try and take it way from him? Can they afford a brokered convention with all the fighting that would bring?

I think things are just getting interesting, and this is just the beginning. I am sure that the Obama team has a lot more dirt on Romney and will start bring it out bit by bit and then dump the really bad stuff on him right before the elections. I can hardly wait!

7. Even these guys know that something

stinks to high heaven in Mittensland:

[sandyshoes17]

8. I think they know he can't win

They are throwing him under the bus. There is too much money at stake here. They have time for someone else. No one was thrilled with him, but a handful of rich people. The tea party, the religious right and any other weird group they've brought into their tent doesn't like him. This is what they get for pandering to the wackos of our society.

[Marie Marie]

15. Right. But what scares me is that they will throw a lot of their energy and money into

House and Senate seats to control the congress and try to shut Obama down by blocking anything he tries to accomplish. Lord, help us all if they keep the House and gain the Senate.

[sandyshoes17]

19. They are scrambling

Who knows what goes on behind the scenes, we just see the illusion they present to us. They are trully dealing with the reality, and they are scared and backed in a corner, so who knows what they will do. It almost makes me happy to see all these millionaires throwing their money at this guy

[robinlynne]

27. good point. I was enjoying this so much that didn't occur to me.

[AdHocSolver]

29. Let's look at the big picture here.

Romney is being used as a distraction.

The aim of Republicans is to destroy the Democratic Party, whose base is the middle class, by destroying the middle class.

This is why the right wing is attacking unions, educators, outsourcing jobs, and short-changing small businesses that provide many middle class American jobs. These efforts are designed to destroy the Democratic base.

The Democratic Party is in a war for its existence and they better start putting up a better offense against the right wing across ALL political races or it is game over for democracy in this country.

The Democrats better stop using up all their ammunition against Romney (who is going to lose by self destruction, anyway), and start targeting right wingers in Congressional races and state government races.

A bigger worry is the disenfranchisement of people who traditionally vote for Democrats, and the discrepancies in counting the votes, as well as the widespread breakdowns in voting machines.

Otherwise we will wind up in the same stalemate situation of the last 3 and one-half years.

11. Does Fast Eddie Rendell count?

[spanone]

13. romney's not really 'one of the guys' he's an outsider...

they're jealous of his wealth but they still hold the power...i don't think any one of them would take a BB for him

[BumRushDaShow]

16. They are only doing what they do

when they are without their talking points for the day...

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. zero

[kickysnana]

18. Romney was just the lightning rod until closer to the election....

He is unfortunately (for him) peaking too soon. They will pull in a ringer, Jeb Bush, perhaps at the last minute who will fill the anyone other than...need. Americans have 30 minute attention spans after all and they don't want this to be a fair and open election.

[Honeycombe8]

21. It's too late. No one with serious aspirations to the Presidency is going to jump in now. nt

[ProSense]

20. Does trying

to Etch-A-Sketch it away count as defense:

28. In this area which is very red, I've seen nothing for Romney ... no bumper

stickers, no signs at all, really no talk at all about Romney. I love it ... of course, when it comes time to vote, they will be reliably republican.
