The sheer stupidity and hypocrisy of liberals is breathtaking. K12 education from FIRST to 37nth since WW2. 16 trillion in debt, and record poverty. Now they can't dare show a bright conservative "minority" woman speaking. What a sniveling bunch of liars.
Can somebody please tell me what was the first business that romney built on his own.
Research it yourself Pete the Painter. Don't rely on a comment section.
The question was rhetorical. I'm just attempting to emphasize the fact that Romney didn't build anything on his how. His daddy's money and influence gave him an unfair advantage in life.
he gave away his daddy's money. get the facts, petty. if his daddy's influence was the reason he saved the salt lake city olympics and produced a $30-40 million profit for the olympic committee, would that be a bad thing? i'm sure if you had a powerful and rich daddy you would also have given your inheritance to charity, done a 2-year church mission and become a pastor, start a multi-million dollar business, and become a republican governor in a liberal state, just like romney. whine about john kerry's fortune from his marrying rich women? al gore's wealth and influence from his daddy and his government connections?
Can all of you Conservatives agree on the facts that Romney's daddy was a hugh financial and polical influence which was responsible for lifting Romney into important positions which led to where he is now? If we can just agree on that, please...
In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
They're really trying to push for Obama, the welfare king but the gigs up he's done! America has seen through him and all the sycophant new organizations carrying his water, so put a fork in him he's DONE!
42 months of unemployment above 8 percent, 8.2 million people working part-time who want full-time work, a record 88 million Americans not in the labor force, 1.5 percent GDP growth in the past quarter, more bad GDP numbers expected, a stagnant housing market, $5 trillion in new debt, the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating, 38 percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 45 million Americans on food stamps, food prices continuing to increase dramatically, the poverty level likely to rise to the highest level in nearly fifty years The recession that ended three years ago this summer has been followed by the feeblest economic recovery since the Great Depression.. … … and this means the plan "worked? The shine is off the Hope and Change, it's now just Hype and Blame, so you'll be going away come this November. Maybe you can get your old job back as a Community Organizer, best stick to something you know how to do! And don't give me the BS about the Republicans hindering the job creation, the Republicans have sent more than 40 jobs bills to the Senate, which continue to sit on Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid's desk. These bills will put Americans back to work. However, instead of signing them, the Democrats and this Administration continue to play politics with American lives.
What a shock! NBC won't show any minority speeches. F-ing racist cowards.
President Obama in Roanoke Virginia July 13, 2012 'If You've Got a Business — You Didn't Build That. Obama to Joe the Plumber, "I want to spread the wealth around." Obama: "I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, the Marxist professors." ~ Barack Obama (Dreams From My Father.) Obama movie 2016: Commie mother, commie father, commie grandparents, commie mentor, commie friends ...... commie Barack. Not too difficult to figure this out.
Election2012 Capitalism or Socialism. Your choice.
Randy, even if that were true, I'm sure it pales in comparison to Bush, the War Criminal. Afghanistan, not Iraq. Osama, not Sadaam. We are still looking or the weapons of mass destruction. But, it appears we have found the the man of mass stupidity. Hmmm...any ideas whom that may be, Randy.
the seals got osama, pet. why are we still in afghanistan? is obama a war criminal, too?
You mistakenly included video of Nikky Haley's speech. She is an Indo-American.
NBC is racist!
I am now convinced that NBC as a company is racist. They explicitly left out a couple of the best speeches of the night. Davis, Love and Cruz are nowhere to be found on the page above. To NBC: Are you afraid of minorities breaking out of your plantation mentality?
Its funny how the whole production cut these fine people from there coverage, instead to show a panel talking about how the Republicans are an all white party. I don't think Stalin had a propaganda arm quite as good as these guys!
LOL, your bias is showing NBC ... and you wonder why less and less people are paying attention to you ...
Do you libtards realize that Obama had COMPLETE control of Congress the first two years? He managed to make matters worse even with that control. Who gets to fund Obamacare? You could take every penny from the rich and still not pay down the deficit. Obama gives free cell phones while cutting funding for our military. Once Obamacare starts mandating what a doctor can charge, there will be less doctors. Healthcare might be inexpensive or free but there won't be anyone to provide it. Think about it (if you brain hasn't been fried).
Why isn't MSNBC posting videos of speeches by Arthur Davis, Mia Love and Ted Cruz?
Because all of them are minorities who support Romney!!!
I was appalled by MSNBC's coverage of the RNC. When changing channels to watch the speakers, I noticed their station ran commercials, rather than air the speech of Arthur Davis, an African-American past Congressman and supporter of Obama. Hypocrits Rachael Maddow and Chris Mathews should be ashamed and MSNBC has no credibility as far as I'm concerned.
Good, at least NBC doesn't think any of the speeches by minorities were notable... nope, nothing a minority says could in any way be notable to NBC, it just couldn't happen.
Oh, and the Republicans are racist for thinking minorities might have anything useful to say... I guess.
Or is there some other reason Republicans are racist, but you failed to find any of the speeches by minorities as notable?
Yeah, good luck spinning that one.
How do you get away with not covering Mia Love or Ann Romney...wow. I guess we get some news, not the news.
You forgot some of the speakers: Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American. Just wanted to let you know before anyone accused your network of bias or racism.
Too late, we all already know that NBC is extremely biased! I'll bet they don't leave anybody out next week.
What happened? I watched and saw several minorities speak. So, you report and show just the white speakers? You report, WE DECIDE. Sound familiar?
Ellen Barkin summed up the "haters" side. She hopes all the conservatives get killed by the hurricane! Nice Demunist view! YOU guys are the party of HATE!
Wait, where is Artur Davis, Mia Love or Ted Cruz? They had some of the best speeches. Why would NBC show Rick Santorum and Bob McDonnell, but not Artur Davis, Mia Love or Ted Cruz?
You know where they were..excluded from this thread.. were you expecting something different? Huh? (laughing)
Someone stated earlier that Ann Romney is every woman's spirit, basically, stating that every woman should want to be like her, and for a woman of 63 years old she looks great is what was stated.
If I was 63 years old and NEVER had a job and didn't work all my life, I would look like Ann Romney also-(she never had a job a DAY in her life)..but for those of US on MAIN street and not easy street, WE THE PEOPLE have to work for a living.
@working girl.. stick to you guns..and let those who sprew non-sense talking points ..because these idiots DON'T have a MIND of their own.. let them be..your point is well taken by many who agree with you. Romney only cares about Romney..he wanted to be President for 5 years now, he's applied 5 times for the position of president.
Romney is nothing other than a CEO/CFO/COO.. nothing more, if you aren't a small buiness owner, he has NOTHING for you, nothing at all..his foreign policy is ZERO, he has NONE.. he cover himshelf with tea party RACE BASED HATERS.. if you aren't anglo saxon, he has nothing for you..ITS CLEAR where he stand on race relations in america..and that's typical and nothing new there in america.. this nation is coming more diverse and multi-racial and multi-cultural..ROMNEY DOES NOT ADDRESS the diversity of this nation, only once has he ever addressed diversity..and what he said was typical..I will stop the free hand outs. ..and he also made it clear that abortions will not be a woman's choice/RIGHT over her OWN body..
..so its clear AMERICA.. you chose and as a moderate independent I have chosen to move forward with President Obama..not the choice I would want..because RON PAUL was my choice, but Romney WILL NOT MAKE AMERICA BETTER FOR ALL PPL, only certain PPL..get a clue PPL!
Yeah, only by spending A TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR MORE THAN REVENUE can we fix the country.... by laoding up so much debt on the next generation that the entire economy collapses on them.
Amazing; why would you be a Ron Paul supporter if you're going to call Obama better on the economy? You like debt and hate children? Or you just want to watch the world burn?

How about because she's stupid?
NBC can't even excerpt the convention accurately. Hard to believe it's unintentional, just as msnbc omitted almost all non-white speakers.
You are only discrediting yourselves. Few are being fooled at this point. Say goodbye to any credibility and good will you for some reason may have had left.
They lost any small amount of credibility they had when they started editing 911 calls!
So, if you have the inability to say something nice, call your wife! Maybe she can do it!
I'm sorry, but I don't think it says much about the character, and it pretty much instills a negative feeling when the person that wants to be my President needs to have someone else convince me that he is a good guy and likeable. It seems that those are traits that shouldn't require someone else to convince me that he posses. Who are we supposed to vote for anyways? Him or his wife?
Americans have had to deal with enough crap; we don't need to be convinced or manipulated. We need results.
NBC and MSNBC are obviously racists. They neglected to post the three speeches by minorities on Tuesday. Where are the speeches by Arthur Davis and Mia Love, both African American, and Ted Cruz, who is Hispanic??
Shame on NBC and MSNBC for this blatantly racist move to quash the opinion of minorities in the United States.
Either that, or they are trying to hide the actual diversity of the Republican Party. Either way, shame on you NBC.
Amazing! The racists leading NBC avoid posting the inspirational minority speakers at the Republican National Convention from their page. Beyond forgivable regardless of the excuse. Truly a revealing action worthy of the Democrats history of racism and their legacy of the KKK, fighting against the civil rights movement, and the abolition of slavery. Keep it going NBC.
NBC is racist for only posting videos of white speakers at last night's convention. They need to present a more realistic and representative account of the truth and not try to spin for their democratic base who assumes (because they've been lied to by media outlets like NBC) that the GOP is only for whites.
Not only did they not post videos, they ran commercials during Arthur Davis's speech so he would not be heard during their coverage.
NBC racists. Why don't you show the speeches by the black and Latino speakers? What a pitiful excuse for a "news" organization.
