Romney: I cannot conceive of calling press enemies of the people

Washington Times headlines Romney defends media, attacks Trump.

The article is difficult to read because it amounts to being lectured on an elementary level by a loser, after having been forced to spend time in tribulation and troubled to replace him with a winner. Reading a lecture by Romney is similar to being lectured by droning Obama.

While reading there occurs an actual physical resistance that is strange to monitor.

The ear canals constrict to attenuate sound and the ear drums stiffen to stifle it, the eustachian tubes freeze while the ossicles tighten and the tiny bones stop vibrating, the cochlea gels and the auditory nerves disable. Meanwhile the eyeball pupils constrict to disallow light and their lenses fog over, the retinas cease functioning  and the optic nerves simply stop. The spinal column closes to auditory and optic nerve impulses and the brain closes corpus callosum communication so the two brains are isolated. And there you are left thinking, "Well I guess my body is gently suggesting again not to listen or read this or give it any attention."

And when you disobey your body signals and do read on, then Romney sounds exactly like this:
Platitudinous bromide adage axiom cliche banal truism catchword. Blathering pablum driveling claptrap psychobabble. Inane aphorism tautologic flapdoodle sanctimonous declarative canard. Pedantry non sequitur pious twaddling piffle. Moralizing tommyrot nostrum shibboleth fatuous insipid bunkum.
Romney acknowledges Trump attacked specifically fake news as enemy of the people then makes his incredibly boring defense of journalism in general as central to democracy.

And that right there is whatcha call sophistry.

The old switcheroo. And at an elementary level.

It is a fallacious illicit contraposition that switches the subject and predicate terms then negates both.

Romney's switch allows fake news the protection given legitimate balanced news.

What a sneaky f'k'n slithering ophidian liar.

CNN is fake news. So is MSNBC, so is ABC and CBS. They have fashioned themselves into the American equivalent of Russia's Pravda (truth), risibly, this apple is a banana, and Russian party instrument TASS. They are truth by American Democrat Party as Democrat protection racket for Democrat consumption, and that is all that they are, and boy does it work, so they are the enemy of the whole truth for the whole of American people and for the world. Trump is right, again, and Romney is a dick, a poor lecturer. You're actually dumber after reading Romney absurd opinion than you would be by not bothering.

But it's still interesting as case study about why olden Republicans insist on losing and why conservative voters sent them packing. It is a thin waning voice from the past that challenges the wrong people unaware the whole landscape has permanently shifted speaking from a point sliding to history and impotent to affecting the present, hopelessly anachronistic as hieroglyphs simply non compos pertineret.

Rally attendant: "[Hey Douchebag,] I'm sorry I flipped you the finger. I was looking for facts not opinion."
W. H. correspondent : "Thanks for apologizing."

I think you omitted "false dichotomy". Was "straw man" in there? I might have missed it when my eyes glazed over.

Still better him than some Commie.

He still thinks the old rules apply, but that's because he's from UT where the old rules, more or less, still apply.

Give him a few years in DC.

CNn had Michael Avanetti on 82 times. Adam Schiff(D) liar - might as well move on into CNN and get a room with the owner.

I don't think Romney's a nice guy. If every bone in your body is a winner bone can also be nice? Probably. BUT NOT TO ME!

If the Dems take the House Adam "Strange Eyes" Schiff is going to be Chairman of The Intelligence Committee. HELP!

Looks like we've got another "Maverick" on our hands. Hey Mitt, show us what a gent you are. You can hold Candy Crowley's purse while she kicks you in the sack, again. The media let us know you killed an employee's wife, forced your dog to travel tied the roof of your car, gave a bullying haircut, paid no taxes and "BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN!" Meanwhile Obama's history is still a state secret. The media is getting all the protection and respect it deserves.

I think Romney is trying to grow the 47 percent.

47? I think that's how many wives he has.
