David Gregory just asked Rick Perry what he would do to make Republicans uncomfortable.

Needless to say I don't think Mr. Gregory nor any other esteemed member of the liberal media would ever pose such a question if this was a debate amongst Democrats and it pretty much sums up their agenda to a tee.

No kidding. The interviewers must have passed some type of schmuck test.

Gregory is awful. The worst in a long line of bad interviewers on Meet the Press. Remember the old guy who started the show in the 50's and was on for a couple decades. Now he was the last good one.

I just remembered the old guy's name. It was Lawerence Spivak. Now he was a real old time journalist.

Yes, those were the days that the commentators were real "newsmen." How I miss that generation of reporters. Now they are just opinionated public relations agents for a state-controlled society.

Perry might have replied, "Heck, Gregory, ah dunno, but ah'll bet they'd feel a whole lot better about me 'n' you if ah punched you in the fkn eye."

David tried his best to provoke arguments between the canidates. A true news correspondent would field questions as to positions, problem solving,plans for our future. David's far left smugness agenda is clear to all

He should have said all he had to do to make Republicans and Independents feel uncomfortable was to ask them what 4 more years of Obama would be like.

It is time to take on the media inquisitors as part of the debate. They represent Obama Thus, debating the inqisitor is debating Obama.

The Media Inquisitors!
VERY GOOD.
That is what they are like, and you know if they could, they'd love to snuff us out as well.

David Gregory is one pompous Leftist butt kisser. I cannot even stand looking at him, and thankfully, I never have to!!

Uh Oh !

It's Startin'.

" Fleeing U.S. Prosecution

In fact, it was prosecution, not persecution, that drove Romney's great-grandfather Miles from the U.S.

Miles Park Romney led his family south of the border to escape imprisonment for polygamy, which Mormons called "plural marriage" and which was banned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the late 19th century.

When Mitt Romney's father George (1907-1995) was a small child, the Mexican Revolution broke out, and the family fled Colonia Dublan, a colony in the north, back to the U.S.

Many of the Romneys, however, chose to remain behind, and most of them are dual citizens.

"We certainly have a love for both countries," Leighton Romney said. "I think that having two countries that you love and two countries that you can serve or be a beneficiary of their service is a great thing."

The Mexican branch of the family is very supportive of their famous relative, and hope Mitt Romney will be more open about his Mormon faith and his Mexican heritage as the race goes on. The GOP candidate has never visited his family across the border, but Leighton Romney feels he and the family have nothing to be ashamed of.

"I don't think that any candidate for any office would shy away from their religion," he said. "I think it's something to stand up and be proud of."

David Gregory is the worst commentator ever, he never challenges his lying guest, never fact checks and never ask good follow up questions. IE: today with lying Michelle Bachman.
