The conservative media are truly grasping for straws on this one. Brit Hume asked his "all-star panel" a leading question. The question was, "Why do the other Republican presidential candidates hate Mitt Romney?"
First, in journalism, that is considered a leading question. The question implies something. It implied that other Republican presidential candidates hate Mitt Romney and therefore the "all-star panel" had to come up with conclusions to fit the question. This first all-star reply was that other Republican presidential candidates hate Mitt Romney because 1, he's smart, 2, he's rich, and 3, he's handsome.
Yes, that's exactly why I hate him! (Their choice of words, not mine.)
R O F L!
Ok, I'm getting distracted from my main point. Let me get back to it.
I do not know where this leading question is coming from, do you?
I have seen other Republican presidential candidates behave in ways that I would consider most gracious towards Romney. They have held themselves in a place of better esteem than that. They are the ones who have withheld attacks, when others (including Romney, himself) have been on the attack. I haven't seen this hate for Romney from other Republican presidential candidates, likely because there is something amongst the other candidates that feels sorry for him. They know that he could never gain the nomination or the presidency.
I, on the other hand, have tried to point out that Romney is not the best choice for the Republican nomination. I hope that my initiatives have not colored the opinions of other fine Republican presidential candidates. I do have my bent towards Huckabee, and, I would hope that my defenses for him are not perceived as attack methods against Romney. I simply see something that gives me hope for America in the man from Hope, Mike Huckabee!
I don't see this in Romney and other Republican presidential candidates.
I don't know, maybe Brit Hume and Fox News (along with TownHall) think I'm not smart enough to pick a candidate.
