Spot on. It all makes me so mad I could spit. Here's the chronology:
1) Newt spends all Summer and Fall campaigning EXCLUSIVLY in a positive fashion, going out of his way in fact to say kind things about all of his opponents;
2) Myth, RuPaul - and most disappointingly, Perry - run millions of dollars in negative ads against Newt in Iowa, most of which are outright lies or dramatic twists of truth.
3) Newt never reseponds in kind to the above.
4) The ads work, and Romney and his surrogates in the MSM respond to assertions that the ads were unfair by saying "Hey you've gotta have broad shoulder." No one in the MSM bothers to even explore or care about the accuracy of the ads. The only meme is: "Hey, tough it out and don't whine."
5) Newt finally says: "OK, I guess that's how I'll have to play." And people supporting him run entirely TRUTHFUL ads about Romney.
6) MSM responds by saying how angry Newt is, how mean-spirited he seems and how unfair the attacks are.
Anybody see anything wrong with this picture?
Hank
No. It looks like you nailed it to me.
Great post. The scum sucking RINOs that control the Party fear we conservatives, moreso than Obama and the Leftists.
Good post.
Hi Hank, another thing I’ve noticed.
During the time they were running the ads against Gingrich in Iowa, we were treated by the news media to a full broadcast of each attack ad, presumably so we would know the ad in question.
Now that it’s Newt and Perry running attack ads against Romney, we hear about it, but we don’t see it in anything like Newt had to endure. We’ll see snippets if we see anything at all.
In other words, the media is playing Romney’s ads for free with the news as their excuse.
This morning Fox and Friends is running an entire series on how equity works....in other words, they’re special pleading for Mitt Romney and attempting to brainwash the masses into believing that it’s fine and dandy for Romney to run up massive debt and walk away from it and a bankrupt company while he’s pocketed millions with zero risk.
I now know that the “conservative media” is just as biased as the “liberal media”. This whole thing sickens me. I’m not letting those bastards pick my nominee again.
I’ll go Constitution Party if I have to.
Look at all the losers the moderates have give us: Gerald Ford, George Bush I, Bob Dole, John McCain.
The only candidates who’ve won have won on a conservative platform. Dole ran the “I’m a kindly old veteran who tells jokes” platform, and McCain ran on the “I’m a kindly old veteran who doesn’t feel strongly on anything” platform.
Post of the day.
