— Ace When even your liberal allies Mika and Brokaw are suggesting you get your shit under control, you might have a problem.
Drew had a clip earlier, but it was of a lower quality and shorter.
The man really is frothing. Romney does not thrill his legs.
Since this is a repeat, I'll link the Big News that Charlie Crist will speak at the DNC. And he's hoping to run for governor on the Democratic line in 2014.
Oh, and then this claim that Christie didn't want to be veep because he doubted the ticket could win. Which gets juiced up in the article into some kind of Lock of the Week vow that Romney can't win.
1, of course Christie doubted the ticket will win. Even I doubt that sometimes, and I am way out of front of the polls in predicting a preference cascade.
2, the article suggests, without stating so, that Christie turned down the offer. He was never offered the job. I never thought he would be. Romney really liked Ryan. Whatever Christie's private doubts, they didn't have much impact on Romney, who had independently decided that Ryan was a bold, unifying, likable figure.

Just answer yourself two questions:
1) Who has run a better campaign this far in 2012--Obama or Romney? Although Romney's campaign is not perfect, why are all the stories about how he has to reboot and the wheels have fallen off? Obama is blowing through campaign money like it belonged to the taxpayers. He says incredible gaffes like "you didn't build that" and his staff tweets things like "McCain's business at Bain was not jobs." They run ads so bad even the media has to admit they are lies.
2) Who has the better running mate? Yet again, the media blisters Ryan, whereas if it was Ryan versus Biden, we could call the election today.
As far as Christie, I like him, but Ryan was a far better pick.

The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis is being rushed to the Persian Gulf as tensions between Israel and Iran edge closer to the boiling point.

Crist....LOL...he works for Morgan & Morgan the biggest slip and fall law group in Florida. After he lost the 2010 GOP primary and then the race as an Independent he has been miffed. He joined Morgan & Morgan right after the loss...WHO IS MORGAN & MORGAN...is it run by John Morgan the biggest Obama contributor in Central Florida. I live here and when Obama comes to Orlando...John Morgan is with him and has fundraisers at his home for Obama. John Morgan is the kind of creep most people think of when you think slick lawyers. He runs ads night and day here and it is sue, sue and sue. Crist appears in ads for the law firm. Several months ago, Crist announced he wouls be changing to an Independent....however, insiders have stated that it is just a stop on transition to becoming a Democrat. Crist is not liked here by Dems either since he tried to force Kendrick Meeks from the 2010 Senate Race on the Dem side. He wanted to be Dem vs Rubio. Meeks did not leave the race. Rubio beat them both....Republicans cannot stand Crist!
If Crist runs he will lose in a landslide. It is funny here in Central Florida no one has covered on TV the Crist endorsement of Obama. People do not like Crist and he is immensely unpopular. But Morgan is a money man and Crist will need deep pockets to run! Hence his tranformation and change!
Just remember as well..Crist when he ran before was PRO-LIFE, PRO-GUN and said he would REPEAL OBAMACARE...now reconcile that with today's DNC??? Boy will he be pegged for the fraud he is!!
I will tell you if you want an endorsement in the State of Florida that would hurt you Crist would be the one....this man everyone knows here is a Benedict Arnold!

MSNBC has it transcribed as "your garbage" meaning he was still speaking about the fact he wants people to believe the GOP is racist- not that he was calling Reice Preibus "garbage."
I'm willing to grant that pass, the rest is stupid enough without adding kindergarten insults to the mix.

Ryan solidified the Fiscal Con Base....
Christie, due to his Gun Stance, would have fractured it....
Also, Ryan is a Legislator.... and will know how that works, so Romney can get things passed.... Christie, is another Goverrnor, with no Legislative experience...
I really doubt Christie was ever offered the VP slot...

It's kind of like how comedians don't make fun of the disabled.
----------------------------------
Maybe real comedians don't make fun of the disabled, but Obama did on Leno's show when he said that "my bowling looks like the Special Olympics".
Jugears just had to make fun of 1) people who like to go bowling, you know rednecks or hillbillies or the uncool of the world, and 2) the physically and mentally disabled who compete in the Special Olympics.
Jugears is so unsure of himself deep down, that he has to compare himself favorable against those who are profoundly disabled in order to prop up his tiny little inner self.

" It says to me that they know it resonated. They don't want Romney repeating the line."
I agree, I think people got a kick out of it, and the Democrats are afraid he's going to keep doing it. He should, not out of some birther crap, but to draw a contrast between Romney - American and Obama - who the hell knows what his loyalty is.

It's 6800 miles to the gulf. At battle speed it will take over a week to get there. I don't think they can run 24/7 at battle speed, 40 knots. If they did they would outrun all their support ships.
I had a buddy on the Kennedy and he said when they went to battle speed the destroyers had to break off. It would swamp them. The subs can keep up but nothing else could. The new destroyers? Don't know.

Here is how you know the line resonated. They never show a clip of the line. They just repeat it, well the paraphrase it. The joke wasn't awkwardly delivered as Scarborough or Brokaw stated. It was actually pretty well executed as far as joke telling goes. It also got a pretty good laugh - to be expected from a partisan crowd for sure. But if the average voter were to see it, they would be going "What's the big deal. It was kind of funny."
They know this makes Mitt look a little more human and less robatic. Regardless, I would use this joke in a rope a dope strategy. Pull the media in, let them spin time on such frivolities as Akin and a joke. Then really make the pitch to how much in trouble we are in. How america needs someone serious. That its time for the grown-ups to be put back in charge.

At the 1988 RNC, they handed out Mike Dukakis "Get Out Of Jail Free" cards in honor of the whole prison-furlough thing. I still have mine. The RNC should hand out Chris Matthews "Race Cards" in Tampa.
I would also love to see John Sununu or some other surrogate pull out a little book the next time Matthews or any other NBC clown throws the race card, look in it, and say "I just checked my book of racial dog-whistles, and that one isn't in there."

Obama won using the race card in what looked to many a positive way - - we were going to move beyond race.
He betrayed folks on that. Many of them now realize he never meant it, and certainly has not fulfilled their expectations in that regard.
Obama's use of race this time looks like the cynical, divisive, infantile, non-serious political poison it is.

My only criticism is that Priebus should have talked less. Just enough goads to send Chrissy into more and more hysterical paroxysms of spittle-flecked rage.

Chrissy is pissed because he knows the truth - Obama is losing badly.
In his mind, he thinks he can turn it around. All he has to do is get the word out about how extreme and racist all republicans are. As the conventions unfold and the pollsters are forced to start reporting more realistic numbers, he will unravel even more.
God, I love this.

Exactly, say what you will about Mormons, they're 100% American and patriotic as heck. That's why nobody is worried. The fear about JFK was that a foreign leader (The Pope) would somehow be controlling him, which was baseless, the guy was about as loyal a Catholic as Tony Soprano.

If you aren't watching HBO's "Newsroom", written by uberlib Aaron Sorkin, you can't fully understand Chris Matthews.
After each new episode, just watch the following few days of his program. He sees himself as the crusading newsman, bravely trying to bring the truth to the people even in the face of big business enemies and death threats.
I bet it makes his dick stiff just looking at himself in the mirror.

Chris Matthews is a frothing at the mouth lunatic -- guided purely by emotion and ideology. But even beyond this, Matthews is toxic in his delivery and engenders a hate filled cognition that he is constructing for progressives in an attempt to dehumanize conservatives. This is classical rhetoric of bullying styled intemperance that seizes upon all dissent and one that the progressives employ to build their narrative.

The more that the veil comes off of this type of behavior all the better. Non political people going about their business have no idea what has been going on in WI with the petulant whining and temper tantrums that one political party has had to deal with...all in the name of trying to get our fiscal issues in order.
Like WI, when this type of behavior is finally up in their face whether in person or on TV the reaction will be visceral. Independents and Democrats only by birth will abandon their ticket in droves.
In some ways the RNC couldn't buy this type of publicity...and we're used to it.

I've long held this position, that the more political and upset you get, the more you turn people off. The more calm you are, the more people feel calm. So when Olberman starts another rant or Matthews goes off on a tirade like this... it just hurts them.

Exactly. We know a ton of stuff about him that doesn't matter a bit, and nothing you learn about in the first five minutes of meeting a stranger. We know stupid, pointless stuff like his grandmother's name but not anything we really want or need to.

How do you think the split-screen hurricane footage will play with normal people, not the already frothing at the mouth preazy base? I'm thinking that John and Jane Q will be like:
"If I wanted to watch the storm, I'd be on the Weather Channel, wtf?"

It's keeps you sharp and hones your arguments for when you step out of the cocoon into the real world (as we all must do).
They might even prepare you for disappointment by inspiring some internal conversation along the line of "What would you do if . . ."
At least that's what I do.
Now abuse trolls are a different story. They need to be stomped on and stomped on hard. They bring nothing but trouble and anger and serve no useful purpose. (unless your following around Democrat campaigners with a camera)

A large population can be dominated by a small group only by persuading all dissenters that they stand alone. Most of their fellow citizens are portrayed as loyal to the regime, and everyone around the dissident is a potential informer. A huge dissident population can therefore be suppressed, by making them believe theyÂ’re all lonely voices in the wildernessÂ… until the day they begin realizing they are not alone, and most people donÂ’t support the regime. The process by which dissent becomes seen as commonplace, and eventually overwhelming, is the preference cascade.

Nice list, thunderb.
And exactly so.
"The American people have the right to know everything about someone who is running for President!"
This is what the media has always said before.....before Barky.
They still use this to excuse the scrutiny they apply to R-candidates, though.
There is a logical reason to scrutinze candidates for the Presidency....
Someone with deep dark secrets could be blackmailed.
Not a good scenario for the most powerful man in the world.

Their actual twats are not getting enough attention so they have to dress up like weird bright pink representations of female genitalia to compensate. Couldn't they have at least used A. Stieglitz's photos of Georgia O'Keefe's cooch as reference material? That way their pussy outfits would have been a tad more realistic.

So what?
If I can conform to the group think here, would you notice?
You and I and everyone else here can only really go by what people put on the screen. Do you keep a running score of who is on which side of a line arbitrarily drawn by . . . yourself.
So what you're saying is that you don't care WHAT I say from now on because I said something you didn't like before.
That's irrational and has no useful purpose for yourself or anyone else.
Except if you're trying to deflect from your own "otherness"
Accept what I say in explanation or don't. Why bother to tell me?

Thing is that the Code Pink people think they are edgy and all.
Shit, those young women in Russia put far, far more on the line than these people ever will.
And the day that Code Pink starts protesting Muslim abuse of women, then that is the day I will start paying grudging respect to them.
I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Preibus did fine, he was there and said his thing, you don't really even need to respond to spittle flecked irrational tirades.
He sucked. He's generally done a good job, and it's a long campaign, and it's MSNBC, etc..... But there is no way you go on there not ready with a coherent response to 'Why are you racists?'
It's 20-freakin-12. There is no reason we have to still respond to that shit with a stuttering 'Now see here, sir.' Time to turn it around and throw it back in their faces. Playing defense is never a good tactic. He knows that. "Racial politics" is one of the few issues where the GOP still plays defense. Enough.
