the problem with the Democratic Party is selective hearing and reporting. It's all really disingenuous.

In light of the DNC, the media pundits are doing the same thing they have always done, claiming that people are hearing the information for the first time, when it's because they tend to ignore information and facts. Most of the MSM reports on Romney are like his press releases.

Sites like Think Progress and Rachel Maddow's blog put out tons of information that's ignored by the mainstream media, but the MSM will pick up reports from Drudge and Redstates.

One could claim that people who rely solely on the media are low information voters, but in speeches and every other form of communication, the administration has been putting the word out. Where did they think all those testimonials at the DNC came from?

Stephanie Cutter ripped Romney in some of the best rebuttals out there.

The Obama campaign goes digital on Mitt's regressive whiteboard lies.

That wasn't the first effective use:

All the spin makes me dizzy.

I don't listen to the radio or watch television either, especially not national politics.

Nevertheless, I'm a very political creature.

It was an excellent point that got huge applause.

Dem dogs should be spouting this all over the air waves!
