Something weird seems to be afoot on the Right.

The NYT says of Romney/Ryan: “Voters can no longer believe anything they say.”

People here were posting about CNN interviewers not rolling over to let the Republicans rub their bellies any more.

Now Chris Wallace--on FUX!--gets a rMoney operative to unwillingly admit that they'll raise the full SS age to 67.

Ya almost get the feeling that the Establishment is distancing itself from the R ticket.

Like, maybe the majority of the corporate moguls who own the media are splitting from the Koch/Tea Party/Wall Street Bankster coalition or something. Like, maybe out there somewhere are a few Harvard MBA's who remember their Machiavelli & understand the need not to drive the populace into "Nothing Left to Lose" mode.

. . . truth gets its chance on the stage, once in a while; along with everything else.

It may just be a bubbling over of folks who are just too intelligent to be allow any part of themselves to be associated with the regressive disinformation coming from the Romney campaign. How many folks can come before the public and echo their nonsense with a straight face? Much of what they want these journalists and news entertainers to swallow can be easily refuted or contradicted by the public record; much of it having already been debunked years previous.

Of course, none of that easily withstands the raw power of stupid people and their shifting, stupid way of arguing their nonsense to the point that you've forgotten what you were actually debating.

The demographics support Progressives now. The change you are seeing is capitulation to the inevitable.
