DANGER!
If Romney doesn't come out swinging in the debates, the lead he has in reality, which is not reflected in the distorted poll results, could dwindle.
Don't misunderstand me. I'm talking about the pre-debate, general polling of recent history, which has always been more heavily weighted toward Democrats. I don't believe that Romney is as far behind as many of the results in the general polling are showing either. Also, Romney is confronted by a MSM, the TV networks, especially, that are more hostile to Republicans than ever before. Romeny's post-convention gaffs amount to two of any significance. His supposed gaff of criticizing the Egyptian embassy's pathetic, cowardly appeal, for example, is the very same gaff made by the White House, apparently, albeit . . . a few days later when it finally distanced itself from that bit of tripe.
So Romney was right all along! Right? No, of course not! LOL! The MSM simply played that down and went on and on with its corrupt narrative of "a bad week for Romney". The other gaff is the 47% thingy.
In the meantime, we have Obama babbling about Egypt not being an ally, but, wait a minute, it
is an ally. But wait a minute, in what sense beyond the annual aid we send it as a reward for signing on to the peace accords between it and Israel worked out during Carter's administration is it an ally? Answer: it's not in any significant sense, and this is particularly true since the Muslim Brotherhood took over the government.
We have Obama making the jaw-dropping statement that Israel is merely one of our best allies in the region! LOL! Uh . . . Israel has overwhelmingly been our very best and most reliable ally in that region for decades followed by a distant Saudi Arabia, which, ironically, is Israel's only informal ally left in the region with regard to the threat of Iran with the fall of the Mubarak regime.
(Democratic presidents since Carter, especially, have a penchant for undermining Israel in the region as they double-cross the friendly regimes around her in favor of unfriendly ones.)
We have the Obama Administration's attempt to cover up the truth or mislead the American people about the nature of the assault on our Libyan consulate coupled with its on-going narrative about a formerly obscure video being the cause of the predictable collapse of a lazy foreign policy unsubstantiated by the development of any real personal relationships with leaders abroad and based on appeasement and apology.
We have: "You didn't build that!"
Just for starters.
Look, if it had been a Republican who had made foolish and dishonest statements of this magnitude, the MSM would have been all over him unrelentingly for weeks on end. Done. Put a fork in him.
But mostly only those who are going to vote for Romney anyway have taken any real notice of these seriously troubling statements or developments, as the MSM has run interference, changed the subject or underreported what would in fact be very damaging news for Obama.
Carter, who was less well-liked by the MSM, didn't get away with it like the Messianic One.
The general liberal bias of the MSM is an objectively self-evident fact of reality. Only leftist political hacks (pundits) or leftist political strategists, for their own particular reasons, leftist loons in general and the ignorant would argue that this common, every-day-walk-in-the-park observation were controversial, whiny or delusional.
It is what it is. That's all.
Here's the irony: while the MSM no longer almost exclusively control the means of information dissemination, their influence has not decreased proportionately. Why? Because in general the average intelligence of the electorate has declined as well. It remains, therefore, almost as susceptible to the MSM's misinformation and slanted reporting as it was when the MSM were virtually the only players in town. I say almost with regard to the nation's more general, nationwide domestic and foreign policy concerns, as the loss of the MSM's monopoly is part of the reason the Democratic Party has not exclusively controlled Congress since the 1980s as it once did for decades. Presidential campaigns are a different matter.
The vast majority of the Democratic Party's traditional constituency has always been, particularly since the 1960s, a mob of historically illiterate and rationally challenged dumbasses.
