For example, the media isn't calling on Obama to repudiate one of his supporters, Bill Maher (btw, the situations aren't analogous. Obama hasn't raised money, standing next to Maher, and I think that'd be a pretty big story if he did). Third, the Romney campaign apparently thinks it's a loser thing to do. McCain was unfailingly gracious in 2008 and look where that got him.”
The LA Times: “Romney has roughed up Obama with a hawkish tone — at times bordering on belligerent. Yet for all his criticisms of the president, it has been difficult to tell exactly what Romney would do differently.”
The New York Times writes that GOP foreign-policy voices have been slow to back Romney. That said, Condi Rice endorsed him yesterday.
“Ann Romney said this week that she ‘completely’ agrees with her husband, the GOP presidential nominee, about 90 percent of the time,” The Hill writes. “‘I completely support 90 percent of where Mitt is,’ Ann Romney told Fox News in an interview set to air Thursday on ‘America’s Newsroom.’ ‘I don’t think we’re ever exactly on the same page 100 percent.’” She didn’t specify where she disagrees.
But one issue might be stem-cell research. Here’s what she said about it in 2004: "I am in favor of stem cell research and I think it can be done morally and ethically," the wife of Gov. Mitt Romney said yesterday. "I think we need to learn more about it."

Being supported by a delusional liar is okay because the people with actual conviction lost last time? Sure thing, Romney. Nothing wrong with being a spineless front man. That's your American way! I wonder if he still thinks Hillary Rosen should have been apologized for? I remember when she never held fund raisers for Obama.
Do you mean 'refudiate'? Anyway, Ask Sarah Palin!
Mitt the Unfitt is unfit to be prez.
Why? because Mitt the Unfitt is Trumped
Romney has always had a thing for dumb blonde's !
Romney has no ba11s to stand up to Mr. Bankruptcy. Romney has no ba11s period.
Romney is a friggin' spineless coward, who can only bully a weaker person in a pack of wolves. The only time Romney stood up for anything in his life was when he protested in favor of the draft. He supported sending his classmates to possible death knowing he would receive a deferment for serving on a mission for his church.
Romney is afraid for Rush Limbaugh, Ted Nugent, Donald Trump and other bloviating ignoramuses. Romney can only use dog whistles along with the rest of the pack of wolves he runs with.
"But I need to get 50.1% or more and I'm appreciative to have the
helpcover ofa lot of good peoplea pack of wolves."And he'll do and say anything to get it. Romney -- He's not in it for you.
TCarter-2311211 -- This is a Dubya sequel, in which the son learns nothing good about the father, rather only that their father lost because he tried to do the right thing. It's the daddy complex and need to prove something -- here we go again.
Get a clue. Bill Maher is not raising money or campaigning for Obama. And he doesn't make Obama "kiss his ring (or other anatomy). It is false equivalency and the press just let's Romney get away with it. They want to question Jeremiah Wright, but we aren't allowed to even know of any of the Mormon sermons or teachings that Mitt sat through.
You want to know what is Mormon sermons and teachings are like. Go to www.lds.org and locate the ward in your area. The meetings are open to everyone. You will find out that the stuff people spread here is not true and, if you come with an open mind you might end up joining.
What about polygamy and colony of uneducated women? The men can have more than one wife but the women cannot have more than one husband. Dont tell me it is not done anymore, it is in the books of mormon, their gospel bible.
LOL I love how people say the tea party will tank the economy. Tea party people have jobs, pay taxes, and are good law abiding citizens.
The movement that will drag us down is the OWS movement. They do not have jobs, break the law frequently, and want nothing but the world handed to them (by who? Geuss who??...YOU!!!).
Stop blaming the Tea Party. They are contributors to this country, not takers.
Wm.-375815 -- So true about Bill Maher and many other examples. Gawd I detest the false equivalency that is so rampant from the rightwing we can't keep track. No Rule of Reason in that Party anymore.
Maobama Critic -- We're well aware that Teabaggers falsely believe only they are true Americans, only they are patriotic, only they understand the constitution, and the country belongs to only them, and they must take our country back...ward. Stop with your cow pie distortions, and let's restore the American Dream for all.
Obama/Biden - 2102!
Why are you liberal so blind. This is a tactic that is used by both sides at all levels. It is the economy and the debt and we are not stupid. Romney for 2012, Correct the error of 2008.
You are right concern citizen. You tea people Koch republicans will tank the economy again and increase the debt. And the statement we are not stupid. Well!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only if we use liberal math where increasing the debt from $500B per year under Bush to $1.3T per year under Obama is considering cutting the budget.
You do realize Bill that $500B under Cheney/Bush does not include the cost of unfunded Iraq, Afghanistan wars and the medicare part D, and the $1.3 under President Obama includes those costs. I know you don't realize anything, you're told what to think, and sadly you believe it.
So in retrospect Bill that is tea people Koch republican math.
Bill, do you read or understand statistics? Obama has not increased the debt, he is paying down what Bush spent on credit card and did not budget for or paid for. Two wars on credit card and tax cut as far as the eyes can see, where he spent all the Clinton budget surplus as far as the eyes can see. Add the Clinton surplus and the $500B. per year under Bush and your conservative maths will show that Obama spending is only 1.4% the lowest since the Reagan 11% between Snr. Bush 8% and Clinton4.5% and Bush jnr. 8%. That is the independent math. Are you with me. Just google presidential debts from Reagan to Obama, thanxs.
Also, keep in mind that tax revenues tanked in '09 and '10 because of the recession (even though the top earners under the Bush cuts went merrily on their way). Future budget projections were also based on the Bush tax cuts ending in '10, so now the numbers look worse because we can't use the GOP unicorm math. So again, whose deficit is it? At least Obama spent the money here, and not down a black hole to Haliburton, Black Rock and the "Green Zone."
Right back at you...
Why are you RWNJ's so blind?
You support people who have promised to put Grover Norquist and the Kochs and the 1%ers ahead of this nation:
[emphasis added]
What is wrong with you Mitten supporting people? Crazy!

Last night while listening to that Lunatic Lawrence O'Donnell, he does everything but talk about the issue as to why people disagree with the policies of the POTUS. Obviously America voted Barack Obama into office 4 years ago. That does not happen unless their is a fundamental shift in white America's tolerance for black people in elected positions. And MSNBC is going to bang this drum of racism to death. Shame on MSNBC for trying to stigmatize anyone for being principled in their beliefs.
This is because MSNBC does not want to talk about the economy and jobs. Instead they try and assert social indictments against people's motives for not towing their desperate liberal line.
Really pathetic and patronizing to the average American's intelligence. That is why the GOP needs to stay united and ignore this MSNBC sensationalism.
