What is it about Republicans

That makes them unable to answer the question asked???!!!! This Romney spokesperson was just on CNN, EVERY time a question was asked regarding Robme's plan and specifics, the answer was "Obama said this, Obama did this". The anchor finally said "Ok, I understand that but you still have not answered my question about Robme's jobs plan." STILL did not address the question!!!


HOW can anyone vote for these people??!!!!

Yeah, this anchor was no Soledad, who I think is by far their best. kalli007 Nov 2012 #3
I appreciate that the press is beginning to confront interviewees on their dishonest tactics. savebigbird Nov 2012 #2

Not to mention hiring them. Mary Matalin? Alex Castellanos? CNN has been crap for most of its existence. It should be boycotted into extinction.

But even when she did actually call them on it, the lady just kept on going and going.....I cant imagine being interviewed on TV and doing that!

I guess what baffles me is that there are people who see that and vote for it. I can understand- though NOT agree- someone voting for them if they actually laid out specifics and addressed topics. But that's not the case.

They can only ask so many times. I have a feeling the Rethuglicans know this.

"Just talk about had bad Obama has been for the economy and how great a man Romney is for families. And don't answer the question directly. They can only have you on for a short amount of time."

Thats probably how they're coached or they just don't know the answer because Romney changes his mind so many times.

Just told him if he promises to do whatever he needs to to make
it close and promise to sign the stuff put in front of him. Then
Repub powers behind the scenes will do everything they can
to see that he's seated as President (including cheating,
Gerrymandering, voter intimidation and manipulation).
