Fox in the Tank

Former Farmer

[Former Farmer]

Mike Huckabee started his political forum on Jobs with a small businessman from St. Louis asking Newt Gingrich how he would help small businesses. Newt gave a straightforward answer. The burly man then repeated the question. He seemed a little belligerent, but I figured maybe that was just his temperment.

Then Mitt Romney came on. The opening question came from the same small business owner. This time, he told about how his son suffered a traumatic injury while serving in Iraq. (Huckabee at this point showed a photo of the man with his arm abound his son in uniform.) The man then complained to Romney that Obama had cut the benefits of this wounded warrior. By the time he got to the question, the man had his face all drawn and tears visible sliding down his cheeks. The question came out as something like, "You wouldn't do that, would you?" Romney comforted the man, calling him "Sarge."

The situation set up Romney to show that he had a heart. This addressed a major objection to Romney: he is seen as cold.

I used to like Fox News, but this cycle they are so far in the tank for Romney their reporters will soon have to wear snorkels.

"Rick is STILL way far to the right of Obamney."

Maybe on birth control, but that is about it. santorum is a big union progressive. He may be able to con you into believing he is conservative as a candidate, but his record says otherwise

FYI

Cavuto has MS as does Ann Romney. Newt divorced his 2nd wife who had MS. Last week Cavuto did his 2 minute commentary about Ann Romney and how much he admires her. He admires Mitt for standing by her. Where does that leave Newt in Cavuto’s eyes?

Don't get mad at me. I'm just reporting. : )

Check, check ... and ... check.

Very clever riposte. I appreciate those kinds.

Good grief! I’m not angry! I was just splainin!!

[Logical me]

Huckabee is in the tank for Romney. That makes him a piece of crap as far as I am concerned. Never did like that nitwit.

I saw that interview and thought Romney gave a good accounting for himself. While Santorum described himself as not being a "visionary" (aka "I see no bright, shining city on the hill"), Romney came across as a leader with vision.

I'm certain I won't agree 100% with Romney if he were elected President, but I suspect I wouldn't disagree with him *too* much.

We need “The Conservative New Channel”. Where is it? It should have been here already.

[TigersEye]

...but if you are going to watch cable news, what else is there?

False premise. I don't.

That is what I meant. WAY back when, I liked him and he was good. NOW I don’t like ANY of them. There is none of them that I trust. None of them that I believe are truly out there to give us the TRUTH!
