Politicians R DumbFollow

Jophed,



Is there any doubt in your mind if this was damaging to the GOP they would have sat on it?

I find the martyrdom and persecution complex conservatives suffer to be fascinating. It seems you can't be a conservative without a constant cry of how everyone is out to get you and how unfair the world is to you. It's a nice 180 from the mindset you guys claim to have and really shows your character brilliantly. Everything is always someone else's fault, you're never wrong or make mistakes, everyone is out to get you and that's why you fail, etc.

Fascinating.

Sammy,

Not all but most....

So you have the same mindset as an obese smoker with three kids and no insurance? Sure, I'll agree to that.

News is worth the most when you're the first one to have it. Sitting on a story, particularly for months, just invites making it worthless when your story is running on the competition's front page.

So, ignoring ethical considerations, it makes little fiscal sense.

Jophed,



No that would be you and your liberal buddies.

And yet you're the one crying in the thread about how unfair the NYT is being to Republicans by not waiting until October to publish negative stories about a Democrat.

Funny how your words don't match your actions.

Not remotely. It's easy to tell when you're in tears over how mean the Scary Democrats & Media are to your poor widdle selves.

I just need to see if there's a sky above me and earth beneath me. If so, you're crying about something.


See? WWWAAHHH!!!! SCARY MEDIA IS SO MEAN TO US!!! WAAAAHHHH!!!!! IT'S NOT FAIR!!! WAAHHH!!!"

Jophed,

At least W gave interviews and let the press ask him questions. Obama won't let the press, any press, near him unless he has a tele-prompter on hand and the answers the questions slowly streaming across his line of sight.

This also goes back to where this country is heading politically. Wait until droves of GOP candidates simply refuse to be interviewed by any "news" source they believe to be biased. No access for cbs, nbc, abc, msnbc, npr, or cnn. H*ll Rand Paul said no to that limp d*cked liberal and look at the fit you libs are throwing over that.

I made no assertion, and therefore need no source.

You are really bad at this.

Samy,

I made the assertion and provided the data supporting it. Now it's your turn to either dissprove the data or provide data of you own. All you did was dismiss it. Of course that's what liberals do when they have no data of their own.

Come back at me with some data showing why I should believe the NYT, nbc, abc, npr, msnbc, and cnn are bi-partisan and not merely mouthpieces for the left. You can't the data isn't their to support it. So obviously the next step for you is to belittle and discount the data that is available.

Jophed,

No you just pretended to act surprised that the NYT broke this story.

To be fair, Catwho did, and she was the poster Varus responded to. You jumped in the middle of it, and started arguing with Varus about it. All Varus said was that he wasn't surprised that the NYT chose to run this story now since it's less harmful to do so now than in two or three months.

Obviously, we can all speculate about what might have happened if the candidate in question had been a Republican, but Varus' original statement in response to Cat's was valid. If we accept the premise that the NYT is a liberal leaning media outlet then it's not really surprising at all that they would write this story now. Certainly, one can make the argument that if they discovered this and figured that other media sources might find it between now and the election that the "earlier is better than later" principle would be applied, right? Assuming the premise about them being supportive of liberal candidates. Get it out of the way in the primary, so it's not an issue later, right?

But congratulations on trying to over analyze a =4 thread with Varus in it.


Why would we? Hell, you can just say all sorts of things are true if you just "accept the premise..."

As long as we're playing the "you know it's true!" game, let me just say how funny it is watching you two stooges fall all over yourselves to critically paint the Times for running the story when YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE that if Fox ran if first, you'd be jacking one another off and cheering about how much awesomer Fox is than the NYT (who was too afraid to run it!)
