Welcome again to sound-bite nation, ladies and gentlemen. Where even the smallest of off-the-cuff remarks get blown way out of proportion. It's happening on both sides and it's nauseating.

Rolling Stone is known for purchasing stories from reporters who do lie and fabricate many of their (so-called) facts.
I'm just saying.
Romney is literally a real life Gordon Gecko, yet NASCAR nation is unable to think critically
besides going to Walmart to buy more processed food to poison their church home with.
Having worked directly with Romney during his term as Massachusetts governor, I can tell you that there is nothing authentic or genuine about him......
He's an ideological chameleon who will say anything to get your support and then do whatever he wants to favor the rich and privileged; he's a caricature of the stereotyped Republican Party. He lies frequently and convincingly, and has elastic principles, if any at all. He's fundamentally dishonest, while presenting an image of goodness and light.
Last week, Thomas J. Curry was sworn in as the 30th Comptroller of the Currency. The OCC has supervisory authority over more than 2,000 national banks and federal savings associations and 50 federal branches and agencies of foreign banks in the United States.
Curry previously served as a Director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) since 2004. Curry served as the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Division of Banks from 1990 to 1991 and from 1995 to 2003. In 2000, Curry served as the Chairman of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS), and served two terms on the State Liaison Committee of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC).
Curry was confirmed as Comptroller by the Senate in March, almost nine months after President Obama nominated him to replace former comptroller John Dugan, whose term expired August 2010.
Mitt Romney refused to answer reporters' questions on Thursday about his support for Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who has become the latest Republican to find himself in hot water over comments about rape and abortion.
Romney's campaign has said the former Massachusetts governor disagrees with Mourdock's comments, but has not withdrawn the endorsement or asked that the ad stop running.
The latest executive order(EO) emanating from the White House October 9 now claims the power to freeze all bank accounts and stop any related financial transactions that a “sanctioned person” may own or try to perform — all in the name of “Iran Sanctions.”
Titled an “Executive Order from the President regarding Authorizing the Implementation of Certain Sanctions…” the order says that if an individual is declared by the president, the secretary of state, or the secretary of the treasury to be a “sanctioned person,” he (or she) will be unable to obtain access to his accounts, will be unable to process any loans (or make them), or move them to any other financial institution inside or outside the United States. In other words, his financial resources will have successfully been completely frozen. The EO expands its authority by making him unable to use any third party such as “a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, subgroup or other organization” that might wish to help him or allow him to obtain access to his funds.
And if the individual so “sanctioned” decides that the ruling is unfair, he isn't allowed to sue. In two words, the individual has successfully been robbed blind.
But it’s all very legal. The EO says the president has his “vested authority” to issue it, and then references endless previous EOs, including one dating back to 1995 which declared a “state of emergency” (which hasn’t been lifted): Executive Order 12957

If it were an equal adherence or abhorence I might agree.
But it's not "sound-bite" nation, it's "Gotcha-world"!

Funny how you mention Sarah Palin. Back then, the MSM thought it was breaking news to report on the fact that she bought a used tanning bed to help fight off the long winter blues in Alaska. They spewed filth regarding her children etc etc... But any and everything is off limits regarding O.... It was then and still is now.
Sorry the vetting process is so difficult for the left to handle now because it wasn't done back in 2008.
