The Romney Speech

I have heard alot of the corporate political pundits say that Mitt's speech was a huge success. Where? Did he explain why Mormonism is not a cult? NO! Did he clear up any misconceptions about his religion? NO! Then what did he accomplish with his speech?

He looked presidential, I am told by news people. I say he still looks like a game show host. I did learn that Jesus is Jesus and the bible is the Bible. So for 20+ minutes we were subjected to a tap dance....all it did was confuse and misdirect....and apparently that was somehow all ok.

Since it was a political speech and was carried live on ALL news outlets, will the others get equal time? Why was he given the time, free of charge? IMO, it was to keep the scrapping between the Repub candidates going. The people want to know what the candidates will do for America; the media wants a negative cat fight. The media is doing NOTHING to further the cause of democracy. They however are chasing ratings, not news.
