The Maverick Conservative

"Mitt Romney is the target, abortion is the issue, and the $100,000 ad buy will change the tone of the Iowa and New Hampshire presidential primaries."

"The anti-Romney ad campaign, by a Republican group that supports abortion rights, is fairly modest in scope. But it may open the door to bigger ad buys targeting other candidates and topics, several campaign veterans said."

The above tripe is brought to you by the lying, sanctimonious hypocrites of the Associated Press and AOL.

What a crock.  Note that the despicable Associated Press, and AOL are giving all of this publicity to a LEFT-LEANING, pro-abortion Republican group.  There is no reason to place this much significance on this ad.   But the Big Lie here is that the depsicable AP, and the rest of the mainstream media, is horrified by the negative tone of present day politics.

WHO has already "GONE NEGATIVE" (long ago).  Right:  The despicable AP, AOL, and the rest of the mainstream media.  It is the mainstream media that is the MAJOR souce of "negative ads" in this coutnry, disguised as "news", and they began long ago.  What else do you call the months old AP story about Romney's great grandfather being a polygaminsts?   What else do you call the multiple hit pieces on the CHARACTER of Rudy Giuliani (marriages, adultery, etc.).   In fact, those media NEGATIVE ADS are also PERSONAL ATTACKS ("negative" ads highlighting a person's record and inconsistencies ON THE ISSUES can actually make relevant points).

The mainstream media--lying, sanctimonious hypocrites that they are--just salivate at every NEGATIVE story about a candidate.  GOOD LUCK on finding ANY positive sstories about where the candidates want to take the country (especially if the candidate is a Republican). 

Polls and "negative ad" (masquerading as "news" stories) are the ONLY way that the mainstream media now knows to "cover" an election.

These people (media) are beneath contempt.  They should be ashamed (except they have no shame).

What do candidates do now?  They (especially Democrats, with a direct pipeline to the mainstream media, although Republicans would certainly like to do it) RELY on the mainstream media to do the negative ads (by feeding them the information).  Then the candidates can act "innocent." 

Now the media seems to be getting worse.   Because the OTHER thing that candidates do is have these "groups" (like MoveOn.org or the above Republican group) do the negative ads, while the candidates stay positive.   This despicable AP/AOL story indicates that the mainstream media is now going to pick up these negative ads, as well as information fed by campaigns, as the media does its best to make politics as DIRTY as ossible.

  "Oh, the media may SOMETIMES criticize the negative ads (while running the same sort of stuff themselves), but ONLY if it fits their agenda to do so. 

"Lying, sanctimonious hypocrites" is not strong enough.  I need to come up with something that more accurately shows my true contempt for these people (mainstream media).
