For people who knew what the “insults” meant— since they were not insults, they were attempts to establish facts in a debate— not the same thing. No ad hominem occurred. And romney came off looking like the tool of a once good venture firm that charges big bucks to say the obvious. Bain advised obama on obamacare— now there’s a fact worth knowing.
Kristol has no idea what he is talking about. Editor of a truly nothing circulation beltway bandit publication of govt. sponge companies (reminds me of the era of shabby Lincoln had to deal with of govt. grafters). Kristol the son of a communist “convert”. No clue, McCain man. Facts stick around, and pointing them out for real fact checkers is not being insulting, it is pointing out what obama will do to romney (and newt too). Somewhere else on FR there is a pdf link to mcains oppo research on romney. Quite something. McCain is a snake for obama- a sad hostage of marxists.
I’m not defending Romney. He’s completely melting down under pressure the past week, which is probably good in the long run.
But I’m not going to toss 3rd grade insults at Bill Kristol for calling it like it was tonight. Newt is a clown as well. Neither guy is looking remotely presidential at the moment.
I started on this site 15-years ago, because it was the only place that was holding Clinton accountable for the train wreck of a moral character he was. I’m just not sure I’m ready to toss all those beliefs down the drain and be excited to vote for Newt.
Newt’s whoring himself out to Fannie/Freddie, Pelosi and his mistress of the month isn’t exactly the type of image I want to have to talk up to my kids next fall during the Presidential race.
We have better options. I’d like to see one of them step up.
