Because once they start attacking Obama, they won't be able to control themselves, and the story will be about their fury, and not Obama's support...after a few days, i really don't think this will be brought up that much.

They are playing it cool compared to the big city rags!

They didn't want to talk about sluts. It was all about religion and only religion, then Rush made it about sex.
The media screamers seem to screw it up more often than not for them.

look their craziest - rw religion ends with the idea of hate and the end times and no one wants to hear about that.

Unless, of course, they've already scheduled special weekday services to deal with this heresy.

This is not only not going to go away, POTUS is forcing the Republics to defend and talk in-depth on one of their favorite subjects, a key issue of their platform in the past dozen or so election cycles, and something they really can't defend beyond the very superficial... "Gay Bad".

As was mentioned, they're just waiting to get their opinions and talking points hot off the fax machine - as soon as the RNC and Koch funded think tanks figure out what position the pundits are going to take. And, as usual, the pundits will be quoting the exact same phrases and talking points all day Sunday.

Jobs and the economy are slowly improving. Since the Republicons will never give Obama credit for either of those anyway (attacking his strengths), he hasn't even bothered going there. He's already poked them in the eye with several of their favorite social issues - Teh War on Women, Health Care and Teh Gay, to name a few. With everything else out there (SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Education, Poverty, Unemployment, Taxes, the Deficit, etc...) he can easily keep this up right until election day.

By putting everything on the table, then adding a new issue every week, President Obama has got them foaming at the mouth and so confused, they can't keep up and don't have a clue where the next hit is coming from. They're not in charge of the dialogue anymore, and they can't deal.

Face it, the Republics just aren't smart enough to handle more than two or three issues at a time. If the talking heads of the MSM go off-script during an interview and ask about something that's not on today's RNC fax sheet, the pundits bluster and flail.

This is going to be the most entertaining election season in American History.

They're busy coordinating their talking points now.

it takes this long to find their position. Usually they are off and running right away. They were finding the most mundane things to talk about to fill air time yesterday. Now that Rush is weighing in, I guess we'll their hand soon.

Using a recorded portion of the President's statement and vowing that Mittens is doing his best at "stacking" the government with shit conservatives, while fighting to "protect" marriage from Obama's "war" on it...

I didn't listen to the rest of it, because I hung up before it finished, of course. I had to go stack a few "conservatives" of my own in the little conservative stacking room.

But yeah, they didn't wait too long to gin up their bullshit response.

Right on time.

But this will make normal people less likely to vote for them. No wonder they are trying to change the subject.

will tell everyone what to think this Sunday in their sermons.
