Fox Tells Viewers Best Route To Canada After President’s Reelection

They claimed they loved their country, they swear they’re patriotic.  But after the reelection of President Obama earlier this week, a Fox Station in Oklahoma dedicated part of their traffic segment to dishearten Republicans who have had enough of being patriotic.

Fox 23’s Jeff Brucculeri used part of his ‘Beat the Traffic’ segment to advise these Republican patriots on how to “beat the traffic” to Canada.

‘We had some folks make a special request,’ Brucculeri said. ‘I know a lot people said that if their candidate lost the election, they’d be moving to Canada — not sure why, but that was some of the folks’ promises out there.’

The traffic anchor proceeded to give ‘the quickest and directest route’ up north, where big government, same sex marriage and universal health are a part of everyday life.

Members of the newsroom could be heard laughing out of camera shot, to which Brucculeri just said: ‘“This is serious stuff.

What Apology? Romney Said It And He Meant It – Dissing The 47%

It is done by some people because they are cowards –  talking bad about others behind their backs. But when those people are listening,  cowards change their tune and pretend all is well. Mitt Romney said it when he thought no one was listening, but now that the word is out, Mitt Romney is trying to take back his devastating comment about the 47%.

Romney recently told Fox News that the rigors of the campaign was responsible for his 47% statement, where he said at a private fundraiser with his fellow millionaires that half of Americans are lazy and depend on government for their very existence. And a day after Romney’s words went public, he again repeated his position that 47% of the nation are moochers!

On multiple occasions, Romney promised to “carry that message” about the losers who are these 47%. But on October 4th, after realizing that his statement was having negative impacts on his campaign, Romney broke out the etch-a-sketch and tried to erase everything. In his interview on Fox, Romney said;

Well, clearly in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question and answer sessions, now and then you’re going to say something that doesn’t come out right. In this case, I said something that’s just completely wrong.

But the Obama Campaign is having none of it. They’ve seen this scenario before – the flip-flop method Mitt Romney has made famous. And they’ve created this video to hold Romney accountable for the flips he’s flop!

Stephen Colbert Is Angry At “Those Liberal Hacks” At Fox News

Stephen Colbert is angry… well… maybe…! Apparently there are some “liberal hacks” at Fox News who thought they could ask the Republican vice presidential candidate questions in an interview. The nerve!

Ryan, the Republican candidate for vice-president, had a contentious interview with Chris Wallace over the 20 percent across-the-board tax cut he and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney have proposed.

Colbert brushed off a study Wallace cited saying the plan would cost the U.S. $5 trillion over 10 years.

“True, not true, who cares?” Colbert said. “It’s over 10 years. Romney and Ryan will only be in office for eight of those. Let President [Michele] Bachmann worry about it in 2020. That’s what hindsight is for.”

Colbert was also unimpressed by Wallace’s refusal to accept Ryan’s explanation that the cuts were “revenue-neutral” and praised Ryan for saying it would “take too long” to explain the figures behind the proposal.

“Great answer,” Colbert said. “Why is it a great answer? It would take me too long to explain, but trust me, it was a great answer.”

John McCain Confirms That What Mitt Romney Did At Bain Was “Cruel”

John McCain, the Republican Presidential Candidate in 2008 and now a Mitt Flip Romney supporter went on Fox News yesterday and confirmed to host Chris Wallace that what Mitt Romney has tried to deny since he began running for president over 6 years ago. John McCain confirmed that what Mitt Romney did at Bain Capital was in fact, “cruel.”

“This is the free enterprise system. The only place in the world that I can recall where companies never failed was the old Soviet Union. This is what investors do in the free enterprise and capitalism system. And, yes, the free enterprise system can be cruel. But the problem with this administration is that small businesses have been the ones that have suffered the most, the kind that need investors, the kind that don’t need the hundreds of pages, the thousands of pages of regulations that continue to plague them and have them continue to hold back on hiring and investment.”

With friends like these….!

Republicans Plan for The Uninsured? – Providing Insurance To You Is “Not The Issue”

Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared in friendly territory on Fox News Sunday and explained the Republican Insurance System to the American people. Their system boils down to – You don’t have health insurance? Tough! That is not the issue.

No kidding. McConnell was asked by Fox host Chris Wallace to explain what Republicans are planning to do with the 30 million uninsured Americans if they succeed in repealing President Obama’s health care law. After failing to answer the questions on different occasions, McConnell settled on saying that providing insurance to these people was not the issue.

You don’t believe me? See video below.

Even Fox News Is Confused With Newt and Romney’s New Found Love

Shepard Smith of the Fox News Network had the apparently unpleasant job of reading Mitt Romney’s statement on the withdrawal of Newt Gingrich’s presidential candidacy. After reading a brief portion of the statement, Mr. Smith shared his own feelings on politics in general, calling it weird and creepy!”

Weird and creepy indeed, as Mitt Romney and his Super Pac have spent tens of millions of dollars all across the nation to further downgrade Newt Gingrich’s humanity… as if that was even possible.

The Romney’s Are Just Like Us – Let’s All Brag about Our Horses

Mitt Romney is just like us. I remember the last time I was caught on camera discussing my horses, so I can definitely understand Mitt Romney’s almost secret conversation with Sean Hannity of Fox News when Hannity – unaware that his conversation with Romney was being recorded – asked the following question:

“What kind of horses do you have?” asks Hannity.

“She has Austrian warmbloods,” says Romney, “It’s a dressage horse … for the sport she’s in.” “Me? I have a Missouri Fox Trotter. So mine’s like a quarter horse, but just a much better gait — it moves very fast.”

The New York Times reported in December that Romney acquired “six-figure warmblood horses for his wife.” The story was corrected to say that the horses were warmbloods, not thoroughbreds.

We totally understand Romney. We’re all elitists like that!

News Flash! FOX News Poll is Biased!

Stunning news, I’m sure.

On the heels of the ABCNews/Washington Post poll that showed Obama with a 7 point lead over Mitt Romney, some analysts were correct to note that the poll oversampled Democrats, which led to a skewing of the numbers. 

The poll breakdown was: 34% Democrats 23% Republicans 34% Independents, which should have shown Obama with a much larger lead given the +11 advantage his party had.

The same can be said for the FOX News Poll which was released yesterday showing Mitt Romney with a 46%-44% lead over Obama, and a -9% deficit for Obama’s job approval rating. The problem for Romney is that he should have been farther ahead given the breakdown of the poll.

FOX used a 40% Democrat 39% Republican 19% Independent population. With a far greater Republican representation in the poll (16% more than ABC/WaPo), Romney should have a greater lead over Obama. They also under-represented Independents, who are usually around 30-33% of the electorate, at a time when other polls are showing Obama with a lead over Romney with those voters.

Given this, the top line number of Romney ahead +2 is good news for the president.

Oh, and be careful with FOX News. They can sometimes lean a bit to the right.

Newt Gingrich – “We’re More Likely to get Distortion Out of Fox [News]”

Oh yes, we all forgot that Newt Gingrich is still running for the Republican nomination. Things are apparently so bad for the Newtsta, that he is now stirring things up with his old boss, the Fox News Network. Anything to get some publicity I guess, and it seems to be working.

Real Clear Politics reports the Gingrich uproar occurred “during a meeting with 18 Delaware Tea Party leaders on Wednesday.”

Said Gingrich: “I think Fox has been for Romney all the way through. In our experience, Callista and I both believe CNN is less biased than Fox this year. We are more likely to get neutral coverage out of CNN than we are of Fox, and we’re more likely to get distortion out of Fox. That’s just a fact.”

Gignrich was an employee himself of the news channel as recently as last year but was suspended as he geared up for a presidential bid.

TV Newser has a response from Fox News: “This is nothing other than Newt auditioning for a windfall of a gig at CNN — that’s the kind of man he is.”

“Fox News Killed my Precious Mother”

Tracy Knauss posted this message on his Facebook page, blaming the so-called “News” Network for the death of his mother. According to Knauss, his mother, an extremely devoted Fox News viewer, died 10 days after she suffered an injury and refused to go to the doctor because she didn’t want “ObamaCare getting all her information.”

Karole reports: When I first saw this image on Facebook, I wasn’t sure how on earth Fox News could have killed someone’s mother. And then I read the message that went with the photo. Tracy Knauss posted it on his Facebook page along with a message which said in part:

I know this personally. FOX News killed my precious mother, Hallie. She watched FOX religiously. And when she fell ten days before she died, she refused to go to the doctor because, “I don’t want Obamacare to get all of my information! she declared, recalling the warnings from FOX News “anchors.” She was emphatic. She was not going to consort with the muslim enemy. As she made out her will she told her lawyer, “I don’t want any of my money going to the Muslim Brotherhood!” And her last protestation dealt with “Obama’s death panels.” Mother died just days later. I hold FOX News responsible for my mother’s death.

Fox News Admits – Presidents Cannot Influence Gas Prices

What happened? There was a time when the situation was the same but the message was very different, when gas prices edged above $4.00 a gallon and Americans felt like they were being robbed at the pump. A “news” network called Fox News came to the rescue, armed with facts and a burning desire to tell us all that the president had no control over gas prices. That was 2007/2008.

Today, if you only listen to Fox News, you will be under the impression that the increases in the price of oil are nothing more than the handy work of President Obama and you may actually think that the profits deposited into Obama’s personal bank account.

But a quick travel back in time to 2007/2008 reveals these same Fox News pundits, as they go out of their way to make sure Americans know the president cannot bring down the price of gas.

So what changed? The president, that’s what. In 2007 a Republican president by the name of George Bush was in power and now, a Democrat name Barack Obama is in the White House.

So to conclude, Republican presidents have absolutely zero control over gas prices, but Democratic presidents does. Words of wisdom, according to Fox News.

Jerry Springer To Fox News – “Every Single Morning, You’re Slamming Obama!”

Television host Jerry Springer went on the fake news station today and did something you’ll never expect anyone on Fox News to do –  speake the truth. Yes, this is one time you can put “Fox News” and “truth” in the same sentence.

But Gretchen Carlson, the host of the show Springer was on would have none of it. She tried to defend herself, saying  “we present both sides of the story…we have a fair and balanced panel.” Of course that was a lie, as the rest of the video below shows other instances where Carlson and her panel  only presented one side – the side they made up.

This is one time I can join in the chant JER-RY! JER-RY! JER-RY!
