"The media have gone out of their way to hype this “bout” as something that improved the prospects for the wounded Romney campaign but in terms of famous title fights, it was hardly the “Thrilla in Manila”. The reality is that if we were going to dub Thursday’s CNN Debate as a boxing title fight “The Contrivance in Mesa” would be more appropriate.
As I explained in the above video, below is a clip from the debate in Mesa, Arizona where the Mormon audience were booing Santorum as soon as he MENTIONED Romneycare. I have news for Romney followers; they are not going to be the studio audience in the general election when Obama thanks Romney for providing the – blueprint for Obamacare. Also, notice that in this video, Romney himself calls his own socialist albatross "Romneycare” as though it is a term of endearment. He’s apparently STILL proud of it!
As I also pointed out, take out all of the boo-tracks, laugh-tracks and applause-tracks provided by this fan club - and you have an ENTIRELY different debate.
The following clip is one in which Rick Santorum DESTROYED Mitt Romney in substance and style. It’s interesting that from within this very clip, the Murdoch media isolated, extracted then played non-stop on Thursday the little "zinger" where Romney tells Rick that he said on Laura Ingraham's show years ago that Romney is the conservative Rick endorsed for Governor.
Well, that is certainly excusable. Rick obviously fell for the specious notion that "Mitt Romney was a businessman who made hundreds of millions of dollars running a business". Well, at least SANTORUM learned from his MISTAKE in falling for that nonsense and he LEARNED his lesson because that endorsement was BEFORE Mitt Romney had a TRACK RECORD AS AN EXECUTIVE IN GOVERNMENT. That begs the question, what is YOUR excuse Fox? Mitt has a track record now and he has to circumvent, palliate and outright lie about the records of his opponents in order to distract people from even examining his own.
Back when Mitt ran for Governor, before he became a politician, and Rick ostensibly endorsed him, Rick apparently took the thesis now being crammed down our throats by Coulter and the like - at face value. Sounded good I'm sure; so why wouldn't he - at the time. But that little hyped up zinger was extracted from a larger body of work that amounts to an outright butt-kicking! Without further ado, watch the video, focus on the substance and pretend that you don't hear the Mormon Tabernacle in the background and enjoy this overall Santorum upper cut to Mitt's glass jaw.
And when you hear ad nauseum - Fox pundits telling you that "polls indicate" that Rick Santorum "didn't have such a good night" - you tell them where they can put their polls."
Thanks. Very much to the point.
Yeah, who let Romney stack the crowd? He’s desperate and grabbing for anything that will give him an edge. If he loses inevitability going into Super Tuesday, his money won’t save him after that.
That’s why CNN LOVE Romney right now and will do whatever it takes to get him elected. That makes the liberal media and Fox “strange bedfellows” because they have the same agenda - to elect Mitt Romney - but Fox shares that agenda for different reasons.
I just read this piece over at WSJ by Dorthy Robimowitz contending that “the Democrat Party is praying for a Santorum Nomination” - and she treats this with legitimacy.
To which I HAD TO reply the following:
“Praying for a Santorum nomination? What an absurdity to propound.
That’s why the DNC have for the entire year been sending their pundits all over the media - the same, singular talking point - “Mitt Romney is the candidate that Obama fears the most”.
Ahh, Dorothy, as I elucidated in my video commentary - they are not trying to “help us out” by doing this. The unMITigated crush some pseudo-Republicans is a monumental display of credulity.”
My pleasure Cicero - and thank you.
I read that and the Strassel column too. Strassel was pretty critical but at least didn’t end with Santorum as a hopeless neanderthal. Rabinowitz brought up the school tuition hit piece which I think is pretty low when you look at the details. Dorothy thought McCain was the cats meow last time, so that opinion goes to the circular file. Most of the “name” people seem to dislike Santorum, so I like him more.
