Some things are better left unsaid. I heard that somewhere ...

Hey, I'm just being realistic. I don't check eye color as a usual thing (sad but funny: I have to look in a mirror to remember my OWN eye color), but Ryan's are pretty piercing, I have to admit.

-CW

I sure hope you haven't scared michty away 'cause yer discussions here have been a lot of fun.

Nah, the argument was just getting too petty and personal so I thought I'd just leave it.

Ryan does have rather striking eye color, though, I have noticed that.

I would LOVE to see his reaction if you walked up to him and said that!

Are you drunk?

That "left wing media" fired the guy immediately. So what's your point?

[18] -

Actually, the media I saw (it could have been just a standard feed everyone shared, I don't know) went out of its way to show every minority in the crowd they could possibly find. Maybe we're watching different channels...

[20] -

Actually, I do agree with it. He should have been fired. These guys forget "when you've got a microphone in your face, you don't crack stupid jokes or say stupid things." But I'll be waiting to hear your condemnation the next time a rightie says something stupid...

[23] -

How is getting fired immediately "getting off scot-free"?

[24] -

Nice use of schiess...

The whole widow's peak thing doesn't bug me. Romney's tough to top when it comes to good hair, though, you've got to admit...

Heh.

Famous last words ... heh ... around here, anyways.

You're giving Ryan good hair marks? The posters over at the HuffPo refer to him as Eddie Munster.

And, for the record, I voted DEMOCRAT in the last two elections..

So you can take your IGNORANT theories that have absolutely NO basis in reality and shove them up your arse....

Michale....

Lemme tell you something, young Padawan...

You have been here MAYBE all of 6 weeks... I have been here OVER six YEARS...

And ANYONE here can tell you (if they are honest about it) that I have body-slammed and castigated the Republican time and time again.. Granted, not as much as the Democratic Party, but hay.. I hate hypocrites more than anything..

So, don't think you can choose this itsy bitsy teeny weeny speck that YOU have experienced here on CW.COM and make a case..

Because, frankly, you don't know shit.. And you haven't EARNED the right to say squat about me..

Come back when you have some REAL experience under your belt and not some made up fantasy you seem to indulge time and time again..

I am done with you...

Michale.....

Yup. Here is what Fox News host Chris Wallace thought:

But he never went after Barack Obama's economic policies. He talked about a failure of leadership. I don't know that that's even the right critique of Barack Obama. It seems to me, for Republicans, it's not that he's failed to lead, it's that he's led in the wrong direction.

Looks like I called that one.

Lol because you don't? You have a completely warped view of reality that makes you the ideal voter for one side who you absolutely blindly love.

Based on your statements, you are a political bigot, because you only hold ONE Party in disdain..

I do indeed hold one party in disdain. But I don't do so with bigoted illogical irrational hatred, like you, I do so because I disagree greatly with their policies (see my 2 posts on here).

You have openly admitted you hate Obama and don't care what his policies are - you will hate him regardless. This is almost the dictionary definition of bigotry.

Of course you don't...

But if it were a FNC Reporter who made a 'watermelon' comment, you would be all over it like stink on scheisse....

Don't bother denying it because we BOTH know that it's true...

"Thass wha they call political bigotry, son...

And, just for the record. It wasn't just some guy on the street.. It was a regional editor for YAHOO NEWS....

But, of course, you STILL don't care. Because I am sure you agree with what he said...

Michale.....

When the Left actually starts repudiating and distancing themselves from those nut-jobs, then I will stop associating the Left with those nut-jobs..

It's just like with the Oowzer (rhymes with LUSER) protests of a year ago. All the while I was saying that the anarchists are at the CORE of the Occupy movement. Of course, everyone here ridiculed such a position. Called it "Right Wing Talking Points"...

Turns out, I was dead on balls accurate...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-29/occupy-sets-wall-street-tie-up-as-protesters-face-burnout.html

Unfortunately everyone on here knows that elected officials and Presidential candidates are held to a much higher standard than people on the street/reporters/whatever nut-job you have found today.

Wrong again..

Only RIGHT elected officials and Presidential candidates are held to a higher standard...

The Left gets away scot free....

Also I love that you are accusing the left of hypocrisy, whilst accusing ME of being a bigot! Irony overload!

I know.. The truth is kind of shocking..

You have already conceded your bigotry in the previous commentary..

Accusing me of bigotry is like accusing a white man of being a racist, even though he is married to a black woman..

It just DOESN'T fly because the facts and reality say otherwise..

How can I be a political bigot when I hold BOTH Partys in disdain??

Based on your statements, you are a political bigot, because you only hold ONE Party in disdain..

The facts are against you, son... Deal with it...

Michale...

I (and most on here) care so little about someone I've never heard of who is a 'lefty' reporter/guy on the street/person on the internet that you've found, that I don't even know what they said or bothered to click on the links you provided....

What you should do is (continue) to find every left-wing nut-job out there and then post links on here to provide 'evidence' that 'both sides are so bad' in response to legitimate criticism on comments made by elected Republicans or your Presidential Candidate.

Unfortunately everyone on here knows that elected officials and Presidential candidates are held to a much higher standard than people on the street/reporters/whatever nut-job you have found today. So you're wasting your breath. Go over to a right wing media source, they'll eat that rhetoric up.

Also I love that you are accusing the left of hypocrisy, whilst accusing ME of being a bigot! Irony overload!

Apparently, the reporter's employer didn't approve of the reporter's words....

Reporter has been canned...

I am SURE that ya'all agree with that action, right?? :D

Michale.....

I notice how you did not repudiate the words of the reporter, but instead set up a straw-man argument for your easy knock down..

I am sure you actually BELIEVE the words of the reporter, don't you??

Yes, bigotry is alive and well...

Michale.....

I dunno, I watched PBS for most of the coverage. So now you're saying there should be some sort of quota for minorities on TV news? Heh.

No.. I am saying that the Leftist MSM brands the GOP as the party of old white guys and then selectively edits their coverage to SHOW that false premise..

Policy based evidence making in it's truest form...

If you missed them, you should hunt them down online and check them out.

It's a shame that, as Americans, we can't trust our media to give us the straight scoop, eh?

We have to go searching for it on our own...

Seems like not everyone in the convention hall was opening their arms to minorities. To their credit, the RNC chucked these folks out immediately.

Com'on.. You HAVE to know that those were likely Democrat plants...

I mean, seriously... How much racism has been exhibited at Tea Party rallies??? Absolutely NONE, despite massive amounts of incentive and even a CASH REWARD for evidence of it..

You can't HONESTLY believe that any Righties had anything to do with that, eh???

Michale.....

Once again, the hypocrisy is nauseating...

Once again the hypocrisy is invented by you. You are the only one who believe the comments of a REPORTER should be held to the same standards as the comments of an elected official or Presidential candidate...

Hmmm I heard the opposite - that Ann's speech had been written for her (or at least, you would expect for such an event, heavily vetted). I thought it came across as such: a very blatant and obvious appeal to women voters whilst trying to humanise Romney the robot! She was definitely nervous but that it understandable and I don't hold that against her...

As I commented, I had the exact same impression on Christie. He smartly distanced himself from backing the current extreme party positions, giving a much more moderate - 'I can compromise' - type speech with the aim of 2016 no doubt in mind.

Reporter: Romneys 'Happy to Have a Party With Black People Drowning'
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/reporter-romneys-happy-have-party-black-people-drowning_651119.html

But apparently, the Left doesn't have a problem with Obama campaigning and cracking lame jokes "while black people are drowning"....

Once again, the hypocrisy is nauseating...

One last thing:

I didn't check your link, but MSNBC even skipped Ted Cruz and Artur Davis? I mean, everyone seemed to ignore Nikki Haley and the Puerto Rican first lady, but Cruz and Davis gave rip-snortin' red meat speeches. If you missed them, you should hunt them down online and check them out.

-CW

Ann says she wrote her own speech. Dunno how true that is, but that's the official storyline. She came across as sort of a country club wife to me, but again, I have to say in her defense that she was the only one up there who can't be classified as a "professional speechifier" so I tend to give her a break when it comes to critiquing. My wife, watching Ann, also noticed that she looked nervous, but she also said "She's doing a better job of it than I could probably do." Imagine the stress giving such a speech would be to someone who doesn't do it for a living...

Michale [7] -

I dunno, I watched PBS for most of the coverage. So now you're saying there should be some sort of quota for minorities on TV news? Heh.

But seriously, Michale, what'd you think of the speeches themselves? Ted Cruz and Artur Davis both gave speeches you'll probably appreciate... what'd you think of Ann and Christie?

I noticed this morning that quite a few folks noticed that Christie didn't mention Romney all that much, and used the time to talk about himself. My first reaction to Christie was "this is a man who will run for the White House in 2016"...

Well said. VERY well said indeed...

Policy-based evidence making.... AGAIN...

Left biased Media??

*WHAT* Left biased media?? :^/

Seriously, does ANYONE honestly and truly believe that the MSM is not biased against Republicans and in favor of Democrats???

If so, I have some swampland in FL I want to sell you...

Michale.....

I thought Christie was pretty good though, although I'd imagine most of the GOP didn't like him since he wasn't extreme enough for them. Solid good old speech about Conservative values without having to lie about Obama (ala Santorum) - although he kind of lost momentum in the 2nd half of his speech. Definitely put himself right in there with regards to the 2016 candidacy, assuming the GOP has gotten out of the extreme right red zone by then...

Well, to hear Democrat women tell it, staying home and raising children ain't nothing. It's not a REAL job..

At least, that's what Dem women say.....

Michale.....

I would REALLY love to see one of the arrestees actually allow these morons to do it..

And then sue the organization and each individual for everything they got and everything the potentially WILL get, plus have them arrested for assault and kidnapping...

THAT would end this moronic action of arresting people for political disagreements..

Michale.....

Democrats may have quantity, but Republicans of this vein are unsurpassed for quality... :D

Michale....

I heard an interesting stat tonight. Of the "undecided" voters out there now, 67% of them are women. Can't vouch for its accuracy, but it's a pretty interesting stat.

-CW

For Ms. Romney's speech, the part that got me was about how it would be surprising for a man to know that a woman's life is hard, I can't quote it exactly, but the thought that for a man to put their self in the position of having to realize a woman's life could only see it as anything but being an easy street--how is that anywhere near sensible? The 'war on women' is a thing to clap about, because it is framed as being an onslaught from 'the other side.'
