Things They Don't Bring Up On FOX

In order to keep all their followers madder-than-hell (I hesitate to use the term "low information viewers" since they HAVE the information, they just pretend it's wrong...). Rogers Ailes' network doesn't bring up the following facts:

The deficit has been decreasing:

And of course the NRA's favorite: we all need guns:

.........because, armed killers......

The Left's unholy alliance with Hollywood:

For pete's sake, conservatives, you all are the ones that voted for a movie star for president! Talk about a "boosterization" (Thanks, O'Reilly) from Tinsel Town itself.....

Laura Bush did not present, but she did appear in a video short about movies by Errol Morris in 2002 that aired at the Academy Awards, and during his presidency Ronald Reagan pre-taped remarks for the 1981 Academy Awards.
You know, that president who was also a member of the Screen Actors Guild (gasp, a UNION) and once its president.

One Other Thing...

"And if the president doesn't do this, (give the Repubs everything they want) Obama is, .... responsible for Republicans' opposition to a bipartisan agreement......This is more than crazy. The media establishment's incompetence is having a direct role in contributing to a broken and unconstructive process."

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

........sometimes

We've heard that MANY times. But when you are speaking the words while engaging in the actions the result can often be disastrous. Take what happened to Mitt Romney as he jumped the gun on unrest in Libya yesterday:

"That the left heaped scorn on Romney’s gambit came as no surprise. But the right reacted almost as harshly—with former aides to John McCain, George W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan creating an on-the-record chorus of disapproval, while countless other Republican officials and operatives chimed in anonymously. “This is worse than a Lehman moment,” says a senior GOP operative. “­McCain made mistakes of impulsiveness, but this was a deliberate and premeditated move, and it totally revealed Romney’s character; it revealed him as completely craven and his candidacy as serving no higher purpose than his ambition."

Compare this to Michelle Obama's nomination speech for the president, her husband, as the Democratic National Convention:

"Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are – it reveals who you are."

And she went on to say:

"And he believes that when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity…you do not slam it shut behind you…you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed."

The take-away is Romney is losing, he is aware of it really, and panic is setting in. But is THIS what we can expect from this Romney-Ryan team upon the world stage?

Maybe WE should begin to panic, too, if by some sort strain of horrible luck these two ever get to the White House......
