It is funny the skew this thread has taken... A few days ago I was thinking about this same slant on the MSM and their character assassinations of any non-progressive who may pose a threat to Obama. And I was thinking hmmmm I wonder how long it will take to get to Newt now that he is the current front runner... After all he sure has baggage and at one time he was vilified for his actions while Speaker of the House and then last night as I was getting ready to go to work there is was... The CBS news channel did an expose on him and his consultant work for Freddie and Fannie...
They had the slant of how BAD Freddie and Fannie are and how could he associate with them and how he was PAID by them but in the excerpts of his admission of being a consultant he straight up repeated the same thing he has said for the last 3-4 years... It was a bubble and I told them it would pop and the sub-prime lending would not be sustainable. Despite his having the same answers it was an attempt to make it look like he had done something sly and underhanded.

Okay, so NOW if you're not a Progressive and you had dealings with Freddie and Fannie you're evil? What about all the Dems who were shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm with them?!?

Good thing Newt has been (as far as I have seen) consistent in his message and has a thick skin. Hopefully this will continue and the independents will see this for what it is and realize he can give a concise formed and intelligent rebuttal to their attempt at character assassination.

They KNOW who Romney really is and he gets as free a pass as any RINO can get...

Alarming yes but I hope you're not surprised the MSM backs the Democrats' first choice of opponents for Obama.

Oh, no... Not at all... the fix is "trying to be in" but there is still, I believe, some legitimacy left in the process to eke out who the people want "overall".

Mitt is nothing more than a RINO whom is now pulling a Kerry-esque Flip-Flop on Gun Control and his obvious Romney-Care is not much different than a micro version of Obamacare...

Newt albeit is not the perfect candidate but has at least been steady on his anti-socialist, anti-progressive pro-republic and pro-Constitution position.

I find it VERY alarming when the MSM picks Romney (or any of the candidates) as the front runner and doesn't attack him as they have others who are a threat to derail the Obama re-election train.
