R.S. McCain reports, you decide. Here’s a good test of Rubio’s grassroots cred: Can you employ a man who’s trying to tilt the electoral pinball machine towards Romney’s nomination and still retain pride of place as a “tea-party icon”?

Now I'm not actually sure Rubio had anything to do with this, but I would recommend he fire an aide for pulling a stunt like that.

Also shows Romney is willing to use dirty tricks and try to up-end the primaries in the states to try to get to be the nominee.

Guess Perry is right, that Romney is just an Obama-lite.

Politics is all about trickery, anyway.

You would be foolish to fire someone for successfully giving you an advantage.

If their mischief became a scandal one must fire them.

It doesn't look like "mischief" per se.

As I understand it, the Romney camp wants to have the primaries done in a way that gives their man an advantage.

The only people who would label this as "dirty tricks" would be people who don't want the Mormon to win the nomination.

It's a dirty trick to try to get primary dates moved around (essentially changing the ground rules), thereby cheating to win the game.

It would be like me suddenly arbitrarily changing the rules in a game that you were beating me in, just so I would suddenly have the advantage.

I actually couldn't care less that he is a Mormon, I don't like Romney because he comes across as dishonest to me, and as slimy as a used car salesman.

I don't like Perry, because I get the feeling he isn't being honest with the American People, and his behavior seems faked.

If he can do it, he can do it. If Rush Limbaugh and the Fox News people spread the word that he is trying to "cheat", then this may backfire. However, I suspect that Mr. Romney doesn't get much support from the Fox News/Rush Limbaugh crowd anyway, so the accusations of "cheating" may not matter.

As far as Fox New's opinion on Romney, it is all over the map, there are Fox News people that like Romney, there are Fox News people that think Romney is a lieing weasel and a RINO. There are people at Fox News that are Obama supporters and people at Fox News that want Obama out of office.

Contrary to what you would like to believe, Fox News is actually extremely diverse when it comes to viewpoints and opinions, just their Conservative Commentators are the ones that tend to get the most recognition by people (cause they get the best ratings).

They range from the conservative to the ultra-conservative to the whacked-out Evango-Fascist conservative.

You're saying that Bob Beckel is a Conservative?

What's your definition of a liberal then, someone from the local insane asylum?

Yes, just another right-wing extremist.

Cute, except for the fact Bob Beckel is a liberal, and a registered Democrat.

Have you ever heard of the term "Shill"?

I'm surprised that George Soros hasn't been implicated in this.

Speaking of George Soros, has he started his jail sentence yet?
