This is the type of questioning, which asks what do you say about reports that you beat your wife regularly.

Such stupid loaded questions from NBC and why on earth is Romney even doing these interviews!

I have no problem with doing the interviews. The problem is that Romney should follow Newt's example and confront the press for its bias. Romney should have used the forum to attack Obamacare rather than comment on what was in his health care reform plans.

Gregory knew full well that the parts of Obamacare that receive the highest approval are the preexisting condition and keeping children till age 26 on their parent's insurance provisions. That was the point of the question, i.e., to get Romney on the record one way or another for use by the Dems.

Romney could have turned that around and said why it was necessary to repeal Obamacare citing some details and then say that his replacement health care plan would address these issues and others in a bipartisan way. Of course, the press would then say that Romney will eliminate preexisting coverage, children up to age 26, etc. It was a no win solution by design.

But at no point did Romney ever say he was keeping parts of Obamacare. He never mentioned it. The MSM lies and distorts. And unfortunately, many conservatives then run with it like they did against Akin. We will never please the MSM. We should view and treat them like the enemy.
