You know, you should just create a thread titled "Winfield's Soapbox." Every time a sentence leaves Romney's mouth, you can go post it in there.

Now, that's not nice!

I believe most of what I post for discussion is of interest to readers and pertinent to today's events.        

You and NHI, who I'm beginning to suspect may be an automatic-response machine, are nearly alone in that.

Also, the adjective form is 'Democratic'.

In Winfield's defense, is it wrong to wholeheartedly support Romney?  He's just passionate about his candidate.  He's not doing anything malicious.  He may be a little overbearing at times, but he's just passionate about his candidate.  Romney has just as much right to be celebrated on this forum as Obama does.

That's a huge understatement.

I can see where you're coming from, but I get the feeling, though, that if someone were to be just as passionate about Obama that not much would be said about it.

I can't speak for others. I despite hackery, whether it's about Obama or about Romney, or about someone else.

I see Winfield is opening a bottle of champagne every time he hear about the people losing their jobs, homes and insurance, because, you see, Obama is bad and Romney is awesome.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/06/19/nyts-frank-bruni-after-obamas-g20-press-conference-he-doesnt-seem-com

Frank Bruni of NYT on Piers Morgan

Shortly after the press conference (G20 Summit in Mexico) ended, Morgan played a clip from the event and said to Bruni, “He looks a little bit on edge, the President, at the moment. A little less self-assured and calm.”

“Well, right there, I mean, he looked really de-energized,” responded Bruni. “I was watching him, you know, as he stepped to the podium. One of the whole advantages of being President, of being the incumbent, is you get those settings – the flags behind you, the podium. You get the international audience.”

“And he strode out there,” Bruni continued, “and the cadence of his speech was very slowed down. There was a lot of hemming and hawing. He got the first question from the press and answered, that answer went on and on and on, and he provided this really strange tutorial on European economic dynamics, and I just, I don’t think that’s what he went to do when he went to that microphone.”

Bruni put an exclamation point on this critique adding, “He doesn’t seem in command.”

No, he doesn't.

When columnists from the New York Times start not only thinking it but also saying it on national television, this President's in trouble.

This is why I can never totally align myself to the Democratic party. They and their supporters are ing pathetic. They handwring constantly and undermine their own guy constantly by doing so. Unlike GOP-leaning media, which never admits how idiotic and wrong the Republicans are on issue after issue.

I don't know that I would phrase it that way. FNC and conservative talk radio were pretty brutal on W and his GOP allies when he tried to work on immigration reform. It was even an issue W had run on, but the GOP-leaning media wanted none of it.
