16. This is the BIZARRE disconnect from reality ...
that is endemic of the entire R party at this point.

AND, the MSM, in all of its R butt kissing/lazy, washington insiderism just allows these morons to yell shiite at the top of their lungs and bully their into reacreating history.

Let's be clear about some things here:

BO had a fairly safe polling lead on McCain up until late July/early August when McCain had let his camp start to run the retarded Paris Hilton like commecials - the media spent a month and a half playing those ads FOR McCain, noting how retarded they were while at the same time twisting into being a problem ABOUT BO.

At the point of the dem convention, McCain had pulled to pretty much of a tie.

BO got a decent, but not overwhelming convention bump.

The R CONVENTION/VP BUMP (known to the MSM as the Palin bump) erased BO's lead and gave McCain his only real marked lead in this race. As many have noted, as soon as Palin started to open her mouth, that lead started to shrink, and it was gone by the time the market downturn hit.

NOW, all of this stuff about the economy being THE reason McCain lost is meant to provide cover for Palin, which is how retarded these freaks are when they are start in with their bizarreness. They don't get that somehow implying that people favor the Ds over the economy to try to erase the fact that Palin is a flaming twit is even worse than letting people simply admit that she is a flaming twit.

IF they had the first lick of sense and were going to be partisan, they would put the loss on Palin. BUT, in their heirarcy of development, hero worship is pretty much the top need, so it trumps anything else. SO, they cede the point that peoiple trust the Ds better on the economy.

IMO, that basic premise might be true to some extent, but it gets amplified BY THEM and the media when they make the false choice on security - Rs tough on security, Ds better on economy. ALSO, is important to note, the top of their ticket had a NEVER ENDING stream of quotes about how clueless he was on the economy, and handled himself like a flaming retard when the downturn occurred.

I still believe that if he would have gotten over his ego and put Romney on the ticket, this election would have been A LOT different.

In the end, the "climate" did favor the D, but BOTH the top AND the bottom of the R ticket were net negatives this cycle.

But, like the scorpion and the frog - they can't be anything other than what they are - bizarrely disconnected from reality bullies.
