The whining has to stop

A couple things from the Limbaugh show today. They pretty much fall into the same category-- there's way too much whining going on.

One is about the media. Yes, they are biased. Everybody knows they are biased. But it doesn't make much difference that they are biased. Therefore, harping on their bias won't change anything.

I think you'll have to figure out a way to go after the dems. It is a game after all. Figure out how to win the media game. Stop whining about how unfair it all is.

In particular, Rush was asking how can you talk to a guy who accuses Romney of killing his wife, or some other type accusation. You'll have to engage someone like that on the level that they are on. That's the way I figure it. Something like this is political, if it were serious, they'd be talking about a court case. It would be murder or a civil suit. Since it isn't serious, they are just blowing political smoke. Find a way to say that and make it stick. If you've got the facts on your side, you should be able to do that.

Otherwise, it just sounds like whining.

After writing the above, I watched the video ad.  It does look like the guy is accusing Romney of what happened to his wife.  That is over the top.  The part about Romney making millions and then closing the plant does look bad, however.  There has to be an explanation for that, or it does look bad.  There's no getting around that.

There are two sides to every story.  The one that the ad is telling makes Romney look pretty bad, but there's another side.  If there isn't, he can't win on a subject like this.

The ad also says that he got a job for half his previous pay.  Question:  if he made only half what he made and was able to keep the steel job, would that have been good enough to keep his insurance?  Just saying, if the steel plant closed because they couldn't pay the wages and benefits, what was done by all parties that would have tried to make that work?  Anything?  Were the unions the obstacle in getting a deal that would have worked businesswise?  Maybe that is why the plant closed.  You don't know why the plant was closed based upon this ad.

Pardon the bad writing.  I'm pressed for time.
