why is it in the msm, that democrats "attack" each other, but repugs "scramble for recognition"

after the dem debate, they were at each other's throats, apparently, but the repugs are simply in a good-natured contest to be recognized.

am I the only one seeing the framing difference here?

1. Actually this is the third post on this point i've seen i think

But it is certainly one well worth making, because it is so blatant.

For future reference, the answer to any question beginning with "am I the only one . . ." is almost certainly no.

2. because they are funded by repugs, so think they must play it that way. nt

3. I was being rhetorical, and yes, you are correct.

4. With All Due Respect, You're Comparing Apples To Oranges. Wait Till Tomorrow.

You would need to use those headlines to compare. Comparing the pre headline to the post headline is all sorts of a misguided exercise.

5. you make a valid point.

we'll see tomorrow, though.

7. ok, I waited. here's the headline: GOP debaters keep distance from Bush

so, is it still apples and oranges?

8. "GOP Debaters Fight Over Evolution" Would've Been Far More Appropriate.

But yes, your point is now germane. :)

9. my point is "a son or daughter of one's uncle or aunt"?

just funning ya. You meant germane, not germaine.

10. LOL That Pisses Me OFF!

I wrote 'germane' first and thought "hmm, wait, is it germaine? I can't remember", so I put the i in for the hell of it to see how that looked, and then when I hit spell check and it said everything was ok I hit post convinced that the latter had been correct, even though I had originally thought the former. Course, didn't occur to me that the latter was a word also of which's context I've never heard before LOL

6. They're obeying Reagan's 11th commandment...

For now...

Though I did hear Huckabee refer to Fred Thompson today as "Mighty Mouse"
