“I think the timing is to distract from Obama trying to play both sides on gay marriage.... Who knows what they are saving.”

It’s pretty clear to most people with 1/2 a brain that Obama’s “evolution” on gay marriage is just bs. We know that either 1. he always favored it and was lying before or even possibly 2. he does not in fact favor it and is lying now or maybe even more likely 3. he doesn’t really care one way or the other but as you say is just playing both sides.

But to his media cheerleaders this is the greatest thing since I don’t know what, Rosa Parks or something.

Maybe they did think there would be “pushback” on the evolution and they put this story out there to distract from that.

As to what other dirt they may have on Romney, I don’t know. They’ve already done the dog story, the swiss bank account story (although they might try again with that), the why haven’t you released every tax return you ever filed story.

I imagine we are going to hear more about Bain Capital and also Mormonism. Although they’ll have to be careful about the latter.

They could also do some “you’re just an overly rich white person” stories, but with the First Golfer and First Lady of Vacations in the WH that might not fly too well either.

What’s important about these stories is not that they come out with them, but how our side fights back.

Allen got destroyed by that Maccaca bs, why he wasn’t able to counter that effectively I don’t know.

They tried the same thing with McDonnel’s thesis, which was a much more substantive issue than Maccaca, but he was able to beat them back on that.

The MSM is the enemy though, that is for sure.

I agree completely that it's bs. I really think this is meant to be some kind of distraction. Obama supporters have already sold their souls to the devil, and Obama "evolving" is not going to change their minds at all. If anything, they are going to claim Romney "devolved" since he used to be a big supporter of gay "rights" and even hired some gay Republicans for his staff.

I imagine we are going to hear more about Bain Capital and also Mormonism.

There will be plenty on Mormonism. When you get into what the people who made up Mormonism were claiming, when you get into the fact that the Mormons discriminated against blacks until the late 1970s, yeah there is plenty of fodder there.

Willard will be called out on his being in his 30s and being a member of a "church" that discriminated against blacks. Make no mistake. It's like people going after George W. Bush losing his license for drunk driving when he was 30, only this time it will stick.

But the most damming thing the media has on Romney is Romney's record. Romney governed as a liberal and acted like a liberal. He only started to pretend being anything but a liberal when he realized he was going to lose re-election and when he started thinking about the White House.

The GOP is making a huge mistake in supporting somebody even more liberal than John McCain. A huge mistake.
