        I was going to ask "Why?". I suppose your answer is as good as any.

        That's the great thing about the theories and speculation and wild guesses that pass as analysis on Fox. They're never hindered by any of those nuisances like motive or logic.

          Brian, you and your network wouldn't recognize the truth if it snuck up behind you and put its fangs in your hindquarters.

          "Why don't we here at Fox care about truth?"

          Careful, though. Even thinking that question might make your head explode.

                There isn't a difference.

                As Confederate wags said about General John Pope when he took command of the Army of Virginia, a short-lived independent command that was not part of the Army of the Potomac, after he said that "my headquarters will be in the saddle":

                His headquarters and his hindquarters are in the same place.

      Yes moran, there was a big meeting before everybody voted to discuss the big practical joke the voters wanted to play on the media. "Hey guys, wouldn't it really freak 'em out if we all said we are voting for President Obama in November? Haha we should totally do that!"
      Also, why would Romney bother spending money there when he has a couple of Kocks to do it for him?

            An indictment will be greated by the right wing noise machine as 'They couldn't get rid of him in the election so they're going after him in the courts. Typical left wing thugs.' Funny thing is that's pretty much what the right did to Clinton.

      To demonstrate the level of ignorance with which we are dealing:

      In a follow-up discussion to Bill O'Reilly's appearance on The View on October 14, 2010 β€” in which Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off after O'Reilly said that people did not want a mosque built at Ground Zero because "...Muslims killed us on 9/11" β€” Kilmeade dismissed the View debate as "elementary" and said:

      They were outraged that somebody was saying ...
      β€œThere was a certain group of people that attacked us on 9/11. It wasn't just one person, it was one religion. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.


      With the exception of Timothy McVeigh, Jose Padilla and John Wilkes Booth and others!

      Why would they lie? OTOH it's somewhat misleading to call this an "exit poll." An exit poll is usual about how you just voted and is considered very accurate. In this case they were polling people as they exited but asking them about an upcoming election. I don't see this as any more accurate or significant than any other poll.

        Yeah, they were being asked what they think they will do in five months. Anything they say is automatically the truth, unless there is a reason for them to lie (there isn't), and regardless of what they actually do in five months.

      Nice analysis Fox & Friends.Right on the nose.

      We'll see if Romney spends a lot of money in Wisconsin?! Seriously? Man, cliffhanger.

      And people were just lying in the exit polls. 9 points to the president is a lot of lying.

      And Kilmeade, you just continue to prove that the difference between you and a Bachelor contestant is almost negligible. A powerful intellect there, Archimedes.

      It is poszsible for some people to prefer President Obama even when supporting Walker. I find it odd, but certainly possible.

      When FOX disagrees with something, or something conflicts with the MESSAGE, they feel something is wrong. They want to cast doubt or fear. Those two concepts, doubt and fear, are what they use to sell everything. When have you seen logic or rational discussion used on FOX to sell an idea? NEVER.

      The right knows that their ideas are broken, but they can convince enough of their base that their ideas work. Ideasand false memes they still promoted on the right even though they are broken:

      -they are fically responsible
      -they are tough on national security
      -lowering taxes, ncreases revenues
      -they love small government
      -they love freedom
      -they are patriots
      -they protect your rights
      -private health care is te best
      -corporations are people

      The list goess on.

      A WI poll showed why people probably voted the way they did yesterday:


      "Asked about the use of recall, 60% said it should be reserved for misconduct, 27% said it should be available for any reason, and 10% said it should never be used."

        And I bet that the Obama admin had done internal polling and figured that out a long time ago, and that's why they didn't get involved in trying to oust Walker. They thought that there was a good chance that Walker would win, given the unlimited funds available to his side from the Koch brothers, and so they didn't waste their credibility fighting for a losing cause. The people of Wisconsin didn't think a recall was a good idea. I don't think they like Walker very much, but they didn't think a mid-election recall was appropriate either.

          I do believe recalls make people hinky. Particularly politicians who could find themselves in the same boat. The last thing the country needs is for recalls to become commonplace. I still wanted to see the beedy-eyed little liar lose, but I can understand why people wouldn't be thrilled with the recall process.

            Let's stop kidding ourselves, the republicans came out to support a not particularly popular incumbent, and the democrats who fought hard, and rallied, and were driven by such passion, and put so much on the line... lost big.

            We couldn't even get rid of Scott Walker with his terrible jobs record, radical agenda, and possible criminal misconduct hanging over his head.

            Read the writing on the wall. Liberalism is dying quickly. Fascism is on the march and it's got deep pockets to spend on gullible citizens.

          I think there's more to it than not wanting to be on the losing side. I think the WH recognized that actively campaigning against Walker in a recall election would be seen as the federal government getting involved in a state matter. When Ed Schulz started beating that drum a week or so ago, I literally recoiled. The president on the ground in Wisconsin stumping to essentially oust a sitting governor would have sent a really dangerous message.

        There's an easy explanation. They realized that the poll takers were stealth New Black Panther members who were working with the Obama administration to create a database of people to send to the FEMA camps after Obama gets re-elected and takes away all of the guns and establishes a socialist-marxist-fascist-communist government that takes orders from his Kenyan controllers.

        Or maybe Brian is just an idiot.
