Media Shocked GOP Hasn’t Conceded (Hell with the Lame Stream Media!)
commentary magazine ^ | 9/25/2012 | Jonathan S. Tobin

Posted on 09/26/2012 6:06:33 PM PDT by tobyhill

When the mainstream media declares that Mitt Romney is finished, they expect everyone in the Republican Party to not just listen but to act accordingly. That’s the only way to respond to an astonishingly obtuse feature in Politico that centers on the willingness of GOP congressional candidates to embrace Romney. The story begins in this manner:

You might think Mitt Romney’s flailing presidential campaign would send his party’s congressional hopefuls fleeing from the GOP standard-bearer.

But in a curiosity of a bizarre campaign season, the opposite is happening. Few Republican House candidates have thrown Romney overboard — and many are embracing him.

Even as the nominee is forced to explain his politically damaging remarks about the 47 percent of voters who he claimed are dependent on the federal government, Republican prospects, by and large, say identifying with the GOP ticket is their best path to victory.

Only moderates shrink in fear and wring their hands. Real conservatives fight for Liberty. And we probably have a crop of congressional candidates nationwide (and some may already be congressmen) who don’t shrink from a fight. And this, the liberals fear!

I am picking up my ballot to vote early this week. Damn it, I am going to vote and vote hard.

You know if you vote early absentee, and then you die, your vote still counts???

Folks it doesn't matter at all what the Propaganda Media says. It doesn't matter if any of you are apprehensive or afraid. What matters is that you strap up and get your buns out there and vote. It is that simple. So quit whining and sniveling . Be strong and show some spine.

The mainstream media wants America to fail and they are doing their best to accomplish this.
Actually they are mostly more like the the German press from the 30’s.

“yep, because people are realizing the media is in the tank for Obamugabe. We’re not listening to you, politico.”

WE may not be, but I can tell you from personal experience that the mainstream media Anti-Romney memes are sinking in with the Sheeple.

Whether these people show up to actually vote is a different story, but the MSM is very effective at cutting someone apart.

“Translation: The Republican candidates have seen the internal polls versus the laughable polls that everyone else is subjected to.”

Connie Mack released his internal polling assumptions this afternoon. They are as follows:

This morning’s Quinnipiac Poll (Commissioned by CBS News/New York Times) survey showing Nelson beating Mack 53-39 was comprised of:
27% Republicans
36% Democrats
33% Independents

The Washington Post Poll (released 9/25/12) showing Nelson beating Mack 54-40 was comprised of:
32% Republicans
33% Democrats
31% Independents

The demographic makeup of these and other polls contrast sharply with the Mack campaign’s model of voter performance. Our latest internal poll, conducted 9/23 was comprised of:
39.5% Republican
43% Democrat
16.7% Independent

They are cooking the media polls to the point of stupidity. Of course, these people DO think the Sheeple are fugging stupid, so, there ya have it.

I won’t be a silent Conservative. If I see anyone in the Lame Stream Media I’m going to tell them in no certain terms how disgusted I am with them.

I want to do that too, but won’t have the chance here in Texas.

This author nailed it right here:

They also know that many of the polls have produced contradictory conclusions and that many are based on estimates of turnout that mirror the Democrats 2008 triumph rather than the Republican victory in 2010.

I have no doubt that when turnout for this election is forecasted correctly, Romney has a significant lead over Obama which is likely to increase by election day. The election next month and the 2008 election will prove to be unique presidential elections in which turnout by the two parties shifted substantially from the previous election. The MSM needs to end its obvious bias for Obama and end it soon, or the MSM will lose what little credibility it still has, shortly after this election.
