...By one-sided, they mean not only that Obama has not disavowed SuperPAC contributor Bill Maher for a number of Maher's statements that were particularly insulting to Republican women. They also mean the press, with, as Team Romney sees it, questionable associations of its own. Has David Gregory, moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press," repudiated his colleague Al Sharpton, the MSNBC host with a decades-long record of incendiary statements and actions? And has, say, the New York Times columnist Gail Collins repudiated her colleague Charles Blow, who once wrote to Romney, "Stick that in your magic underwear"? Romney, his team believes, understands that the calls for him to repudiate Trump over the issue of birtherism -- and future calls to repudiate this or that supporter next week or next month over some other issue -- are at the core all about politics.

Mitt’s going to stand up to the Jackass Party bullies?!?
This is a strange move for Mitt, as the GOPe would simply rather cave and call a kumbaya with the Democrats.
But maybe something has pressed one of Mitt’s hidden buttons.
Good on Mitt if he means it and doesn’t waffle away in a couple of months.

Another good move, Willard. I've gotta admit.
Just stop playing their game, thats all that needs doing to defeat the media/democrat complex.

This is something Newt would do. I wonder if he is having any influence over Mitt?

Every time these goons insist on Romney distancing himself from the eligibility thing, they call more attention to the issue, perfectly teeing it up for Sheriff Joe. Good!

Well either Mitt Romney is growing a pair or he is surrounding himself with people that know what they are doing.
Either scenario bodes well for November.

What a difference from the cowardly douchebag McCain.
