Interesting, Tom, that you are using the Colbert Report as a fact checking source..... Next, lets check Jersey Shore for some keen, geopolitical insights into how the GOP (or whatever) is so much PHAIL...
Say what you want about America and our spending, but without the U.S. and Crocodile Dundee, Australia is just a bunch of boomerangs, kangaroos, and didgeridoos. Oh, I'm sure YOU think you are important and special... and we'll keep pretending you are... but, when it comes down to it, your absolute, ENTIRE existence as a "free" and "sovereign" nation relies upon the U.S., Europe, India, and whatever other allies decides that you're strategic positioning in the Pacific is important enough to defend.
In the grand design, you (Australia) are merely PART of America's (and maybe Europe's) welfare and/or defense system, and nothing more... Seriously... what, other than criticism
I like Putters thoughts.
And I have never seen such blatant stage managed sympathy grabbing false rubbish and nonsense as Romneys wife saying how he 'sat by her bedside, tenderly kissed her cheek and had a tear in his eye...' (paraphrased). God, that was sicker than X factor, Oprah and pure puke mixed together.
And then he goes on to mock Obamas statements about climate change et al, 'me, I'll worry about you and your family...'. Shows what sort of speech writers and puppet masters are behind him.
For the sake of humanity, avoid this magic underpant believing, polygamist, Jesus is coming to Missourri believing bigot.

Paul Ryan's acceptance speech was wonderful. Left-leaners understandably can't just endorse it, so they must construct

The best the professionals could come up with was a few things Ryan said in simple language when referring to events that were somewhat more complicated. At first they called them "lies", then backed off when confronted with facts and are now calling most of them "misleading".
Then people muddy things up further when relaying the professionals' spin. Tom Morgan claims that Ryan "said that a car factory in Wisconsin closed due to Barack Obama's handling of the economy", yet Ryan didn't say that. If you didn't see the speech yourself, read the
transcript. The real-life facts are complicated (GM officially close
