3. I'm more interestsed in the media folk who point what Romney won, like " he won 47% of the vote. "
|
what a great way to frame his loss. I've head this sort of framing from talking heads on MSNBC & ABC.

24 hour news cycle and the talking heads need something to fill air time.

6. And the electoral vote was never really close, Romney was never REALLY in it.

So I think the answer must be that they are very, very stupid.

9. And big,lying,hypocrite..
|
Then they keep telling us he was suppose to win. Who says so,they are talking to each other and can't hear us. I hear tweety doesn't get that the country voted in liberals and voted for legalizing marijuana,he says he still trying to figure it out.
What he doesn't get is that there are 300 million people in the country now,something that all in the media don't get and that we aren't living in the 50's and people know better. |
