The predatory liberal media sits patiently on their perch, awaiting any single utterance that can be spun to their advantage.

I'm over 60 and I hear the "aspirin between the knees" joke in high school. The message behind it was simply "abstinence works". Of course, the sex-craved entitlement culture doesn't agree.

Every election season eventually becomes the silly-season when the MSM is allowed to call the shots. For instance, the debates with outlets like CNN and MSNBC are not debates, they are a shooting gallery. The "hosts'" job is to take pot shots at the GOP candidates, hoping to generate enough "negative" outtakes to fuel the democrat election's talking points and attack ads.

It's no wonder that debates are being cancelled by some of the candidates...they're not eager to sit under the hot light and endure the rubber hose questioning of the left....which is rarely about the issues or the economy, but focus on social issues.

The boo's we all heard at several debates when these questions are asked should tell the media heads that we see through their "got'cha" questions and that the people are not going to base their voting decisions purely on those issues.

The contraception issue is a boondoggle...a GOP trap, and a sidestep away from the "A" word (abortion), which the lefty pollsters have found is not a good subject to campaign on. It's a sure shot for something for the left to bitch about and to use in attack ads. The left has an uncanny knack of taking something like abortion and turn it into something that sounds like peoples' rights are being violated, like "banning contraception". How silly...and how stupid are the conservatives who fall for it.

But it appears like we're all going to sit on our collective butts and allow abortion, gay marriage, gays in the military, and racisim to cost us our country. I had hope when the 100's of thousands of Tea Partiers were gathering in Washington and elsewhere back in 2008-09 that we might be fighting back, but it appears the left has used Alinsky #5 to neuter that bunch too.

Mom's warning of "sticks and stones" no longer applies, call some of America's wussified people a name today and they either get on TV and whine about it, or they'er seeking therapy.

“It’s no wonder that debates are being cancelled by some of the candidates...they’re not eager to sit under the hot light and endure the rubber hose questioning of the left....”

The dastardly duo are going to be running mates, after each debate they realized just how little they knew in comparison to Newt. Why should they get on a stage, play nicey nice with each other and let Gingrich run circles around them? They aren’t running from the media, they are shutting down Gingrich.
