    Oh, lord... It seems Ryan and Romney aren't getting along so well and even Ryan can see this election is going down the toilet for the GOP.

    I'll give Ryan this, he knows the Romney campaign has gone belly up and started to stink. :lol:

    Does that matter to Oerdin? Remember, this is the guy who posted as "news" that ridiculous, long-disproven lie that Romney claimed to understand black people because his ancestors owned slaves.

    I do not have a high opinion at all of the credibility of politicians. But any of them have more credibility than Oerdin. Any of them.

    Do you have a better source (or multiple sources) for this? Quite honestly, it sounds like just another "rats jumping ship" article crowing. I've seen this from all sides, so until this can be sourced with a credible link, it's just gossip.

    Ah, yes, thanks for the reminder. This is, after all, He Of The Trashed (Not A) Tea Party Site.

    I admitted I got taken in by the Romney thing but at least I'm not like you who takes a position on something like Global Warming and then when you get bitch slapped around by facts for being an idiot you run away and claim you were just playing devil's advocate and are really just neutral. So let's be honest and admit you're a little bitch who tries to have it both ways, shall we?

    And once again we see why you have no credibility. I have never taken a position on global warming. I have always maintained that there is no solid proof either way, that the jury is still out. And it is.

    So you show once again why no one should ever take you seriously. You don't know what you are talking about, and we all know it, but you just keep on proving it.

    That "no solid proof" argument worked awfully well for the tobacco industry for several decades...

    He likes to argue that it's all fake and then when he gets bitch slapped by facts he retreats back to "I'm on the fence and neutral" when he is anything but. I think it is clear exactly who's creditability has come up short on that issue.

    Saw the story on tV last night. And not on Jon Stewart. At first I thought it was a satire, deal, but no, it's real. They're fighting.

    Another made-up claim.

    Show links to where I have ever argued that it's all fake.

    I'm less interested in what Async may or may not have said about global warning and whether CS got things wrong in the past or generally has low credibility than a relatively mainstream news organization is reporting that Ryan is even jokingly referring to Romney as "The Stench."

    I guess...or an ironic thing, like calling a bald guy Curly.

    Still, I would think that they would have kept it under wraps if it was just for funsies, or someone would have spun it to Politico as "we are buddy-buddy, we think we're still going to win this thing, and we think the guy who described Mitt as a stench as wrong."

    From the tone of the article, someone from Ryan's camp is making noise as if they truly believe Romney is "stench-like."

    My bad. I took it at face value, which may be a function of not knowing who Roger Simon is or a function of Roger Simon not doing a particularly good job of being satirical. Looks like I wasn't alone.

    I didn't really believe this, but given the complete collapse of the Romney campaign over the past two weeks, as well as the fact that's not exactly new for a VP candidate to go rogue and hijack the campaign...it wasn't out of the question that it was true.

    :lol: stupid Liberals are all over reporting this as a fact when anybody that actually read the whole thing would realize it's a stupid and very unfunny joke.

    Well, this is twice that Oerdin/Confederate Son has had egg all over his face.

    Wanna go for a third strike, numbnuts?

    I'm pretty sure this is his third strike. I seem to remember his first famous stupid was when he posted a "trashed Tea Party site" that turned out to have actually been an Occupy site, and then there was another good one after that where a few of us threw out callbacks to that first one. Now this.

    He's such an obedient little useful idiot. Too bad he's not good at it.

    My favorite before this was his belief that Chick-fil-A caved in to left wing demand because of falling sales. Still haven't found any evidence of that one. He really is a horse's ass.

    Where you've been, apparently, is not reading the sites you're citing. Let's look at Gawker, shall we? Under JOKES (might be a little hint there):
