    Why didn't the liberal media vet Romney?

    This should have been vetted by the media. Now Romney is already the nominee and it could have been Newt.



    "For the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, who has repeatedly promised on the trail to "get tough" on China, opposing the manufacturing seemed a likely stance, except that while at the helm of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Romney outsourced the production of torchbearer uniforms to Burma.For Romney, the 2002 Olympics anecdote represents another instance of outsourcing under his stewardship, as President Barack Obama's reelection team continues toassail him for shipping jobs overseas while at private equity firm Bain Capital. It also exposes an embarrassing oversight in allowing the uniforms to be manufactured in Burma, which until just last year was controlled by a brutal military regime.According to reports in 2002, the decision to outsource the torchbearer uniforms to Burma caused an uproar among human rights advocates and trade groups. It prompted the head of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) to write a letter to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), stating that "No responsible organization or body should make use of products originating in Burma."

    The guy who couldn't beat the guy who couldn't beat Obama....

    Yes, let's blame the "liberal" media for not vetting the guy enough who was passed over for Sarah Palin in 2008.

    If someone really wanted to sink the other party why let loose all your ammo during the primaries? That's when the other party is fighting itself, let them duke it out. The if you have something on him wait until he's the nom. then unload. It's really late to change noms now. Now's a great time to start releasing shit if you've got it. Even better if you have several things you can roll out a little at a time. Little now, little before the convention, little after the convention then everything you got a few weeks before the election.

    There's a ton of time left and the GOP super PAC's are sitting on a ton of cash. How do we know they don't have serious shit on Obama.

    Newt had no shot. You have to wake up before 10 am if you actually want to be elected. And I'm sure Obama would've taken him up on that ridiculous 30 debate challenge or whatever dumb shit that was.

    Newt, Santorum and Paul were DOA from the beginning. Perry stood a shot but he went down so quickly because of terrible mistakes. The whole outsourcing jobs thing has been played out for months, remember the film "When Romney came to town".
