Huh? Most of those people are self-identified neocons (NoPod comes to mind), support torture (It’s easier to count the Republicans that don’t), and cheer on wars (NoPod, McCain, Bush, Cheney). When was the last time an anti-war politician or leader actually did something traitorous (like selling weapons to Iran, or destroying the work of a CIA agent) or laid down their weapons on the battlefield?

This isn’t as balanced a situation as you’d like to pretend.

Chris, when you complain equally about those on the left who paint their opposition as warmongers, neocons, and torturers, you will be credible on complaining about rhetorical incivility and/or unfairness.

Until then, stuff it.

"the iron discipline that Bush has shown never to attack even his most partisan and harshest opponents in personal terms." - Hugh Hewitt

Seriously? Let’s not gloss over the repeated attempts by Bush and Cheney to paint their opposition as defeatists, traitors, appeasers and so forth.

We also can’t downplay the sheer fatigue of the campaign. These folks are exhausted. McCain’s trying to revive a once dead campaign, and this is his last shot. If he fails, however, he’s a shoo-in to play the lead in "Grumpy Old Men".

I did not say he became very angry…..I said "taking offense and becoming obviously angry for what appeared to be two candidates ganging up on him and his flip flopping."

I also said "I just felt that Romney was the one who became angry and frustrated and in fact if you look at the tape again you will see Huckabee grinning because he knew he had just gotten Romney exasperated."

We are discussing the video clip. If there is more that transpired then I cannot comment on that. I am commented on the video clip that you posted here, obviously edited as well. In that clip to me it is Romney who become angry and neither McCain or Huckabee. I can only comment on the video clip in question.

You guys could argue round in circles because you simply disagree on basic opinions about the candidates. Abrisaham thinks that Romney looked bad for reacting angrily because it makes him look defensive over his changed positions (which is obviously a problem with his image with quite a lot of voters, and with some basis in truth.)

Michael meanwhile thinks that Romney had the appropriate, forceful reaction to unfair attacks.

It all depends on what your preexisting opinion was before you watched this.

lol and Hillary Clinton. And - it’s really quite sad that you look at the video and can say that Romney became very angry. That’s just hilarious. You know what he’s criticized for? For not being emotional enough when he was attacked like that.

And I interpreted Huckabee’s smile in a somewhat different way: he was having fun. He enjoys attacking Romney like that, and he smiled to McCain, his partner in crime.

It’s fine that you’re a Hillary supporter, but it colors your perception of reality a bit I’m afraid.

That is a terrible thing for you to say to me. How is it that My voting for Hillary Clinton would cloud my judgement upon a video tape of 3 Republicans badmouthing each other in a debate. I care not who wins or loses on their side. I defend none of them. It matters not who they select they will be trounced in the November election by anyone the Democrats field. I just felt that Romney was the one who became angry and frustrated and in fact if you look at the tape again you will see Huckabee grinning because he knew he had just gotten Romney exasperated.

Sadly if anyone might be guilty of having their perception of reality skewed just a little bit it would be you who has, it seems, endorsed Romney.
