The more ...In a perverse way this is a good thing. The more the "media" be clowns itself the less others will give it credibility. How many of us look at journalism and the practitioners there of as objective, honest reporters, I used the word loosely, of the news.<br />It would seem that the Left no longer has control of the narrative. Sometimes it takes less than a day and the "media" meme is proved a lie or dissembling at the least. <br />"Mother Jones" now admits it edited the tape, which was done in Florida which has laws that make this illegal. And it appears, even by some polls, that it might have actually helped Romney. It helped to demonstrate that he is more attuned to the problems and their solution than Obama will ever be. There was sadness in his voice when he spoke of the 47 percent probably because we can do better.<br />I have to admit that I can now see that Romney is more of a Conservative than I had believed before now. I have noted a number of individuals have gained a little more respect for him.<br />Many a Conservative, like myself, believe that EVERYONE has the capacity to succeed on their own abilities and the government should not be making them dependent upon hand outs. One should get a hand up when needed, this should be at the local level where citizens can be involved with aiding their fellow American, and then those who were given a hand up can be given the honor of becoming the best they can be and just maybe they will pay that forward. Romney needs to stick to his "guns" so to speak and make the most of what the "media" has handed him.<br />Again, There is no one who does not have a skill, capability, capacity to do well if the government would just get out of the way. What compassion is there in making someone a slave to the state?<br />Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-13746790829322700632012-09-19T03:15:49.300-07:002012-09-19T03:15:49.300-07:00Thing is, people agree with Romney:
