		<description>There&#039;s no Democratic knee-cutting going on here.  Romney is the victim of this attack, and other Republicans are the perpetrators.  

These politicians, regardless of party, are all just suits and careerists: lawyers and businessmen.  They don&#039;t care about free market principles any more than they do about helping the poor and the needy.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;MSNBC decides what will be &quot;news&quot; and what won&#039;t. They don&#039;t have to be the source.&lt;/p&gt;

I just find it interesting that they think it&#039;s safe now to start cutting Romney off at the knees.

Apparently they think his nomination is in the bag.

If you really understood my thinking, you&#039;d know I&#039;m not looking for Republicans to &quot;deliver&quot; anything.  I&#039;m looking for Republicans who will stay the hell out of the way, and not do any more damage to our industries and economy.

That&#039;s one reason I found Perry kind of appealing.  He ran Texas mostly as King Log.  I read a lot of articles complaining that he didn&#039;t actually DO anything to keep the Texas economy healthy.  Where were his big programs?  His world-shaking ideas?  His fundamental changes in how things get done?

Hello?  &lt;em&gt;That&#039;s the point.&lt;/em&gt;  

We&#039;ve already seen what King Stork has done.</description>

		<description>Tom, you&#039;re already thinking pre-emptively, preparing your excuses for the future.

You know perfectly well the Republicans can&#039;t deliver on the entrepreneurial paradise they are promising.  So you&#039;re already laying the groundwork just in case Romney loses the election(&quot;He wasn&#039;t a real conservative&quot;).  Fortunately for you, that will also work just fine if he IS elected and can&#039;t deliver. 

That&#039;s exactly how you handled the Bush disgrace, as I recall.  And of course, no matter what happens, you can always blame the media. To paraphrase that great Jack Nicholson line: &quot;You can&#039;t handle the Pravda&quot;.

So tell me, O Conspiratorial One, do you really think the Gingrich people are in cahoots with Obama in putting together this ad?  It may &lt;em&gt;sound&lt;/em&gt; like Democratic dogs being loosed here, but every name mentioned in that article is definitely in the GOP Inner Party.</description>

		<description>&quot;You know a philosophy is corrupt and self-serving not when it attacks its opponents’ principles, but when it is ready to attack its own.&quot;

You want to think that statement over a little harder?

P.S. Pravda seems very sure that Romney is going to be the nominee if they&#039;ve let the dogs loose this early.</description>
