The wisdom of Rev Al

I freely admitted Romney won this first debate even tho he denied and avoided his own positions and details (see the who won the debate thread for my detailed remarks)

But....

Rev Al Sharpton said some things on the post game wrap up that really resonate.

On Romney:

"He gave great testimony but he'd be indicted for purgury"

"A fish wouldn't get caught if he kept his mouth shut."

His main point being although Romney "won" the debate, he has now committed himself on video to contradictions to his own former statements and positions of his party that will haunt and damage him in days to come.

Personally, I think he's right.

I think it's an inherent part of the way the nomination process is slanted heavily towards the extremes in both parties. To get the nomination a candidate has to pander to the fringes, and then rebound back towards the center in the main election. A big advantage to any incumbent.

I look forward to the clips of Mitt vs Mitt in the next few days. He won this debate at the cost of hanging himself.

As Rev Al said, "mark my words!"

I'm thinking the intellectually enlightened want no part of him any more.

At least they could get Rep. Sheila Jackson ... (she's more photogenic)

.. or is she still trying to figure out where the U.S. flag is planted on Mars from the first landing on the ... errrr .... Moon?

Gutter rat? Judge much? LOL

Ok, i understand most people will never forgive the good Rev for tying himself to racially charged issues in the 80's and 90's. I wasn't trying to make this a referrendum on Al Sharpton, I was talking about what he said.

Romney won the debate, but he did so at the cost of his own arm. He hung himself on statements that will haunt him in the days to come.

His across the board tax cuts will be done in a way that will not add to the deficit because it will be paid for by cutting loopholes???? Really??? Talk about fuzzy math. That's just not even possible, but he said it and he said it several times, now he's stuck with it.

This is what I was trying to talk about. Think what you will of Sharpton, but in this instance...he's right.

I'm loving today. It's not over yet but today feels just as good as when Pelosi was FIRED as leader of the house. Hi nipples!! Got your carrot right here...

What's that smell?

Oh it's you Stinky. Did you get on the scale this morning? Lost any weight yet? No? Keep trying. Enjoy your empty shell victory today and have some cake!

rev al looks emaciated

he looked like a big head on a dwarfs body

is he sick?

the entire cast save the token idiot republican on msnbc...were of one mind.....romney is a liar and they repeated that over and over without specifics in between sputtering like donald duck

then they finally went to that kid with a lisp or something who is supposed to be the theorist intellectual or something for "indepth" analysis and in between watching his funny mouth movements and trying to make sense of his brilliance..well give me al back please!
