If anything I would think conservatives would have a much finer bullshit detector. They don't seem to trust anyone in government. | ||

Romney needs to come out and hit the big one again to win But many of the states like Michigan, Wisconsin etc are now in play again when it was relatively safe leaning Obama just a few weeks ago. | ||

I really think that this Libya story is going to become a more dominant and damaging story over the next week or so. elaborate, i clearly didnt catch it. | ||

That closing statement is exactly the kind of thing that makes it go blaring. Exactly. Looking someone in the eye when talking to them is persuasive. But in theatre or television, looking directing into a camera or facing an audience directly is breaking the fourth wall. You change the tone so dramatically -- one second you're having a lively discussion in an auditorium, the next second you're having a fake conversation with an imaginary person watching TV. It's feels disingenuous. Anyway, that's beside the point. Both did well. | ||

They trust anyone who doesn't trust government, regardless if that person is a bag of lies dressed as a politician, the embodiment of their distrust. Interesting how that works, right!? | ||

Romney still needs to come out with it to bring the states to his side | ||

Complete bullshit. Ugh, agreed. I've blocked people from my facebook because of the stupidity regarding this. | ||

Difference between repeatedly laughing, talking over, and interrupting someone and waiting until the person is done and trying to get the moderator to let you speak again. | ||

I think people like Hannity and Limbaugh have done a lot of damage to Conservative's bullshit detectors. Just because their suspicious doesn't mean they should be. (The BLS and Jack Welch spring to mind) | ||
