An exaggeration, fine. Not by much.
I think the second question is a valid one.
But, the first one should be, Mr. President, why so wimpy when it comes to standing up to the right wing?
I won't argue your feelings about the questions, Doc.
Point was, she's not supposed to let her opinions come through so obviously. She was about as subtle as Bill O Reilly.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

The Full Party Flip-flop:
So, in summary: The foreign policy that won the Republican nomination in 2000 is the same foreign policy seen as "crazy", "dangerous", and "out of the mainstream" just 3 presidential elections later.

Forgot to mention, Diane Sawyer is the worst debate moderator I've even seen. Pathetic journalsim. Whiny, over dramatic nonsense, wrinkling her nose in disgust as she asks these nebulous questions injected with her own opinions via her body language and facial expressions.
Is it just me or does Diane reek of insincerity? I do this Diane voice imitation that creeps out my wife.

Not even close. If Newt somehow got the nomination (which I doubt) he will almost certainly flame out before the election. People don't want their president to be a tremendous a****le.
At the beginning of the race, FiveThirtyEight pointed out that his downside was over 50%. Newt isn't likely to get the nom, but if he does, Obama looks like an easy favorite.

God, people are still talking about that? That was very clearly an awkward joke that didn't work very well, there's plenty of stuff for you to dislike about him without making sh*t up.

Have you noticed how Romney always looks like he's out of breath? Like he just ran trying to catch a cab? What the hell is with that, does he do the treadmill for an hour before interviews/debates?

As I keep saying Gingrich may be awkward and unlikeable but Romney is even more so. I think people on both sides are going to enjoy watching "Mr Sure Thing" slowly realise that he's lost the nom.

GOP stands for Greedy Old Pr*cks.
Romney came off like a total d**che with his 10,000 dollar bet. Right up there with his comments months ago to a group of unemployed people that he felt their pain because he was unemployed too. If I were a multi-millionaire, I'd be unemployed too. By choice.

Well it seems I was a teensy little bit wrong now doesn't it? Seems like this Gingrich thng was real. But they're right, I think Gingrich has a better chance of beating Obama than Romney.
It almost seems like there's a conspiracy against Paul. Recently there's been a whole "Gee, both Romney and Gingrich kinda suck, let's have another look at Huntsman" thing. Which is fine as I like Huntsman but in terms of polling numbers, why would you go to Huntsman before you went to Paul?

Who the heck would like to be a president in the USA now ? It is like volunteering to get a bout of black death. An US president from next year has no room for imposing his/her own political agendas. Has no room to do popular things. Has no room to do anything else than making life harder, much more harder for the voters for the next 4 years. So what do you do ? Like you always do when it comes to bad jobs nobody really want: Give a black man this job. Something the Republicans has proved by handing Barack Obama the job again from 2012.

Ron Paul is one of the most discussed candidates on the Web (from my experience), yet is mentioned rarely. That is because if he won the Republican nomination, he would win the Presidency- no question about it.
Um, I don't know what America you're living in, but that's definitely not over here...
