Weekend Newsbites: Sat. & Sun., March 24 & 25, 2012

As the "Romney The Inevitable" tide continues to come in, I just hope that one day people realize how they've been manipulated by the media - both mainstream and "conservative" establishment.

Folks... it's no coincidence that debates have been basically "discontinued."

Folks... it's not just "by chance" that Romney refused to debate Gingrich one on one... that he wouldn't debate Santorum one on one... and that the media refused to pressure him to do so even though obviously such one on one debates would have made a splash - and made money - for the network(s) and indeed the media as a whole via follow-up coverage.

Some will reflexively reply that "there were enough debates."

Bull.

A few million people watching even the key debates... out of a national population of over 307,000,000.

How many Americans could, if asked, accurately describe the Romney economic plan vs. the Gingrich economic plan vs. the Santorum economic plan?

No, folks... the American People have been manipulated once again by agenda driven media figures who "produced" the same old dog and pony shows and failed to provide the sort of context (let alone fact checking) that little ol' me provides day in and day out on this very blog.

You know that Romney biography I've spoken of... which I've read... the one written by those two Boston Globe reporters, Michael Kranish and Scott Helman? My prediction? The moment Romney is the official GOP nominee (if, God forbid, this comes to pass) we'll all be hearing about it... and what's in it.

(*SHRUG*)

I've actually gotta hand it to the mainstream media! It was a brilliant tactic to first "cooperate" with the Romney effort to destroy Gingrich via repeating lie after lie and then denying Gingrich the oxygen of coverage while shifting their focus to Santorum and "creating" - for a brief moment - a new "strongest challenger" to Romney.

(*CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*)

It worked!

People are mainly Sheeple and they tend to follow the media's lead. The media - both mainstream and "conservative" - told the Sheeple that Newt Gingrich couldn't win and so...

(*SHRUG*)

But the media also knew that enough of the Sheeple viscerally distrusted Romney that they needed to at least create a new "serious challenger" to Romney. That creation was Santorum. Thing is... as I told you all from the beginning... Santorum never had a shot. The religious Right candidate who opposes birth control and who supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey was never going to be the GOP candidate for president in 2012 and would be unable to beat Barack Hussein Obama in any case.

Oh, well... all I can do is create a record of how and why this mess came to pass.

I'm still praying for a miracle!

I'm still praying for an actual convention battle and for Santorum to come to his senses and join Rick Perry, Herman Kain, Art Laffer, and... er... me... by putting the national good above personal ambition.

I know... I know... Santorum has more delegates and more votes than Gingrich so why shouldn't it be Gingrich who throws his support to Santorum? Why that's an easy one, folks! It's because Gingrich could and would beat Obama while Santorum would lose! That's the pragmatic answer!

The philosophical answer? Because Gingrich is smarter, more visionary, and would make a better president than former Senator Santorum. (And I've explained why I believe this again and again and again... with specifics.)

Anyway, folks... happy last full weekend in March!
