    This account sounds like a tie to me if it is a fair rundown of the debate. I had to work and missed it.

      Wait. Are you serious?

      They're both partisan to an extreme. Open your eyes.

        Technically, if you're right of Margaret Thatcher, isn't anything that is 'moderate' liberally biased relative to you? Perhaps that explains the complaints about CNN and whatnot?

          So Biden does his best impression of Romney during the debate and is criticized for it.

            "Yeah, it is going to be a transformational primary here on the Democratic side of things. Do you get a sense that people are recognizing this idea of the grandeur of history involved here?"
            -Roberts gushing over the "historic" nature of the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, February 1, 2008 edition of American Morning.


            CNN’s “news†coverage on Sunday night went out of its way to be as unfair and unbalanced as possible. They aired Wright live. During the fiery speech, Wright plugged CNN “anchor and special correspondent†Soledad O’Brien and “long-term friend†CNN analyst Roland Martin. Both O’Brien and Martin appeared on-air after the event, discussing how funny and effective Wright was. As they explained to viewers how to understand Wright’s infamous “God damn America†comment, evening anchor Rick Sanchez insisted viewers keep watching replay after replay and apology after apology for Wright. “I would imagine the people watching [on TV] would say, ‘Wow, I didn’t realize the guy had two masters degree and a Ph.D. I didn’t realize he spoke five languages.’†And that changes “God damn America†for you, doesn’t it? That appears to be CNN’s hope. O’Brien continued raving about the speech, “It was very funny. It was hilarious at times.†And in the morning, O’Brien was back [in the video above], calling Sunday night a “homerun†for Wright.



            "I want to just stipulate at the beginning of this interview, we are declaring a Reverend Wright-free zone today. So, no questions about Reverend Wright. Our viewers want us to move on, so this morning we're going to move on. Is that okay with you?"
            -Opening statement from May 5, 2008 interview of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama.

            "We all remember that the 'I like Ike' campaign back in 1952. But reading what you've said about Senator Obama, it seems like there are some similarities, that he may be just like Ike. What can you tell me about that?
            -Question to Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of Dwight Eisenhower, August 13, 2008. Roberts pushed Obama's similarities to Ike and former President Ronald Reagan.

            CAROL COSTELLO: "You know, usually, you have a little bit of a problem getting people to agree to be on television, but not yesterday. People were begging to be on TV. They wanted their thoughts recorded. They were very much aware that history was being made, and they wanted to be a part of it in whatever way they could."
            ROBERTS: "It really was 'Barack-stock' - peace, love, and history."
            COSTELLO: "It really was."
            -Exchange with CNN correspondent Carol Costello during the January 21, 2010 edition of American Morning.

            "You know Candy, David Gergen was on with me last night on [Anderson Cooper] 360 talking about this, and he pointed to Joe McCarthy's censure, and said that really, really broke him. Now Charlie Rangel's 80 years old- what will censuring potentially do to him?"
            -Roberts worrying about Rep. Rangel's health post-censure, November 19, 2010.[/a]

              The Democratic primary was, in fact, a historic primary.

                Yes, historically sexist. America got what it deserved for picking a grossly unqualified man over a highly-competent and qualified woman.

                  I am skeptical that Hillary is as qualified as she is made out to be, though I am certain she is more qualified than Obama.

                    HC would appreciate this:

                    DANVILLE, KY—Moments before walking onstage for tonight’s vice presidential debate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) was handed a revised list of his running mate Mitt Romney’s most up-to-date political principles and stances on various issues. “So our agenda no longer includes legislation that would restrict women’s access to abortion, though we do support using an executive order to prohibit federally funded international nonprofits from providing abortion in other countries—got it. Do we still believe health insurance providers should have the right to deny contraceptive coverage? Hold on a sec,” Ryan said to advisers while furiously memorizing the 10-page briefing, the fifth packet of agenda revisions he had received from Romney since noon. “Wait just one minute and okay, okay…done.” According to sources, Ryan’s handlers then shepherded the congressman onto the debate stage, where he greeted his opponent with an expressionless nod.

                          The Onion is satire.

                          That article is from The Onion.

                          That article is satire.

                          It is not likely what happened in the satirical article from The Onion, a satirical news source, actually happened.

                              Obama campaigned against that on "philosophical" grounds and then enacted it:

                              So we've got a lot of similarities in our plan. We've got a philosophical difference, which we've debated repeatedly, and that is that Senator Clinton believes the only way to achieve universal health care is to force everybody to purchase it.



                              That's called "lying for the greater good." The commoners won't tell the difference once it's signed into effect, you know. If you're wondering why there's a backlash against it, that's one reason: it was misleading and dishonest to carry into effect a policy after being elected a policy that you campaigned against during the election without an actual and compelling change of circumstances that justify the change. Such justification as was offered simply did not speak to that 'philosophical difference' Obama referred to. (It's not the only reason the Democrats' healthcare reforms are unpopular, incidentally.)

                                There's a backlash against it because most Americans are idiots. They're brainwashed by the current system and its proponents. Any sane person can look at the US' health metrics and ridiculous costs and draw the obvious conclusions, but Americans will fight to the death to keep that failing system.

                                Support for Obamacare is about 50/50 last I checked, and it's pretty telling that that's pretty much exactly how all US elections turn out as well.

                                It's a partisan issue, stop trying to pretend like you're being insightful by making **** up. You are an idiot. It does not work.
