In reply to the discussion: Arianna Huffington plans to vote Obama, might switch if Romney advocates Afghanistan pullout [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)24. She was GOP for a long time. And still is, probably. Don't be fooled, most media is GOP owned:
Arianna Huffington conservative Republican
Do you remember Arianna Huffington the conservative Republican? She and her husband Michael exploded on the political scene of the California Central Coast in 1992...
Unseating an incumbent cost millions and that was just the primary. Then there was the general election.
He spent $5.4 million, a national record, for a lot of negative television commercials, $5.1 million of his own oil fortune was poured into the race...

Arianna Huffington Thinks Paul Ryan Is Like George Clooney
Arianna Huffington seemingly had a different opinion. According to the media mogul, Paul Ryan is more like Hollywood star George Clooney.
Hes like, a bit of a heartthrob, she explained, adding: He also looks good without a shirt.
She continued, adding a bit of criticism for the heartthrob: When hes next to Romney, Romney has a kind of twinkle in his eye. But heres the problem its a little bit you know how you fall in love with a woman because shes feisty, independent, has her own views and then you get married, and immediately you want to turn her into a doormat. And thats happened to Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan has become a doormat.
Pardon the source, which is wing nut but the video which is from Bill Maher's Real Time segment, shows that the quote is accurate:

I could beat this dead horse a while longer, but no, I tell people there really is no liberal media. Just a few crumbs tossed to keep us swallowing subliminally the Reich wing message. Which is always that we and our views are weak, unwanted and we are the minority in the country. Not true.

Arianna is proof you can take a person out of the GOP but you can't take the GOP out of the person.
