I wish the Donald would register as a democrat and announce that he’s running just so we get a democrat debate. With no democrat debate, Obama gets a free pass.
“I am sick of the Palin victim scenario/.She DOES get attacked, etc. but she needs a new playbook on that and I think she is moving away from the Victim scenairo,”
Palin is a particular target, but it’s not like we haven’t seen that before ... the media has gone after ANY conservative who is a threat.
Then CNN turns it into an Obie commercial with Gibbs at the end.
LOL. How times have changed.
Glad it was helpful; I like doing them when I can. I lost the stream a couple times but tried to squeeze in as much as possible.
I always felt the 'live threads' played an important part at FR.
LOL....And what pray tell might that be?
Any panelist tonight would be a good President. But we need a GREAT President, with the energy and sustain at a level with Washington, Lincoln, or FDR.
Hey......if it weren't for their airport audience, NO one would be watching CNN. :)
Has anyone got a replay stream? I missed the broadcast. No PBS links, please.
Indeed they do...time to gather, hear and comment. Thanks for getting this up and maintaining it. Koo-doos to you!
A non interventionist foreign policy is a conservative foreign policy. Spending trillions of dollars a year to police the world is not conservative, and that’s the policy that we have right now.
It seems to me that given the thousands of waivers for Obamacare the next president could just give a waiver to everyone.
LLS
But she can see him from her front porch. :)
I'm just making a little joke. What I wouldn't give to have Sarah as our President.
All my predictions have come true. Just as I had predicted, CNN is saying Michelle Bachmann helped herself the most. For CNN/MSM it`s all about Sarah Palin, nothing more! Their hatred of Sarah Palin is what drives their phony support for Bachmann.
They have been saying for months now that Bachmann is now the Tea Party darling, they say she took the crown away from Palin, the idea gives them all chills/thrills up their legs, it`s the only thing they live for.
I actually predicted word for word exactly what David Gergen would say...and he did not disappoint,
Just as CNN was shutting down at 11 PM, for the second or third time they asked with giddy grins, what does this mean for Sarah Palin, the fact that (they say) MB did so well??
Anybody that can not see through this crapola must have s%$# for brains, sorry no other way to say it.
And just as I also predicted, their will be a slue of MSM polls (that`s basically all the polls) that will say MB has surpassed or tied Gov Palin, these will all be fabricated lies, but mark my words it will happen.
Andy Card is a perfect example of Rep Establishment, he knows that to heap praise on Bachmann is to help Romney and they think...finally get rid of Palin.
I hope the fabricated lies do not work because the American People are not smart, the masses fall for this kind of crap.
Bachmann did not have to answer many of the tougher questions. I counted 3 times she mentioned her 23 foster children.
The president is duty bound to "faithfully execute the Laws of the United States." That includes the laws that he or she disagrees with.
Your proposal that the president undermine the law (rather than faithfully execute it) would suggest that you are comfortable with the idea of electing a dictator.
FWIW, Bush and Obama have both failed to execute the immigration laws. I would think they should both have been impeached for their dereliction of duty and the violation of their sacred oaths.
It was one letter and it is an anomaly compared to everything else in thie writings. It was seized upon by the New Deal deifiers of government. It stands in stark contrast to Washington’s farewell address and the declaration. And in the preamble, where do “blessings” come from and what inspired the separation of powers? And what did all those students believe? And what did Mr. Henry say?
