Wow.

Foxnews Sunday found 2 new faces — relative unknowns.

Must be due to the holiday scheduling.

Morning AB thanks for the thread!

I'm still a little weary from going up your way and back in a few days near 2,000 miles for me this week.

Wow, ABC will be the place to be today! Can't wait. Marco the great and the new Godfather of Sheeecaaaagooe Barney Rhambo. Rhambo must be feelin' good now that he's back in his bathhouse environment he and El Schabazz cherished so much in the good ol' days of gay Chicago.

Oh great. We have to listen and watch ponderous Senator John F. Kerry today?

On the surface, seeing the new found association of Marco Rubio with Chris Coons doesn't exactly inspire my support for Rubio.

Rep. Jeb Hensarling complains that there are plans in the Super Committee, but they are from the GOP.

==

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

What did they expect when they formed the Super Committee? The Dems haven’t produced a Federal budget in nearly 1000 days.

Why should the Dems succumb to any GOP proposal? Dems have maneuvered into a position where they can blame next year’s economic and joblessness on the obstructionist Republicans in the House and Senate.

RomneyBOT Chris Wallace for Obama/DNC: Is it dead?

Rep. Jeb Hensarling, (R-TX) Texas, CoChair of SUPERCOMMITTEE:
“Not going to give up hope.” “Missed opportunity”
“We have not seen a Democrat willing to put a proposal
on the table to solve the problem.”
“Gave them a bipartisan plan. That was rejected, too.”

Chris Wallace for Obama/DNC:
“Will the Republicans make a new offer?”

Rep. Jeb Hensarling: “The time is late.”
“We thought there could be common ground for tax reform.”

Wallace tries to blame GOP of blaming DNC.
Hensarling explains, so Wallace switches the topic to entitlements
and pushes the DNC program.

Wallace: “How will it end?” (goes through bad scenarios)
Hensarling: “No one wants to give up hope.”
Wallace suggests a meeting on Wednesday
(reading from his White House/Romney script?).
Hensarling says they will let the group of 12 decide.

Hensarling reminds Wallace of the horrible unsupported debt.
Wallace changes the subject to the cutdown of the military budget
and Hensarling reminds him that this will hurt America.

Hensarling: “(This is a) Missed Opportunity”

Rep. Xavier Becerra basically says the Dems are content with allowing the Super Committee to default to the August agreement, unless they can come up with a better plan [translation: bigger taxes, bigger spending].

According to Wallace, the Super Committee must come up with a plan by Wednesday, max.

However, any ‘deal’ must be sent to the Congressional Budget Office for scoring.

Any deal must be ‘made available’ 48 hours before being voted on/approved by the Super Committee.

==

Translation: There is no way they can make a Monday deadline to attain a Wednesday deal.

==

Rep. Xavier Becerra said they can still get something done.

Just turned over to MTP and say 5 seconds of Kerry.

Hmmmm....

Morning talkingpoint: ‘everything was on the table’

Kerry said it on MTP. Rep. Xavier Becerra said it on FNS.

[’Being on the table’ and ‘doing anything about it’ are 2 different things — except on Capitol Hill.]

Hume is basically saying, regarding Gingrich's recent rise to the top, that the GOP are so desperate for ABR [Anyone But Romney], that they promoting anyone and everyone. Trouble is, those n00be #1’s cannot sustain their momentum.

Panel is hitting Gingrich on his healthcare flipflop — was for mandates before he was against them.

Kristol — the rise of Gingrich is due to nostalgia over Newt's years working behind the scenes [sometimes on the wrong side, but ...].

Williams — Gingrich is like a balloon — that could nick a limb at any time and burst. [lol]

As Wallace said at the opening of the Panel: It's bash Gingrich this morning.

Panel basically concludes that the Super Committee is a grand failure.

==

Gotta give Gingrich credit for his assessment of the Super Committee: The dumbest idea to come out of Capitol Hill in a long time.

Maybe in January they can try a Super Super Committee or, like McConnell did with the debt ceiling, just give the power for the budget to the prez. [/s]

==

Wallace and Williams argue over the value of #Occupy. Williams thinks it is good; Wallace thinks it is sinking in influence because of the recent violence.

Our last best chance at solving our exploding government debt crisis was lost a few months back when The Stupid Party caved in to the Evil Party. Instead if holding firm on the debt ceiling (a straightforward and reasonable course of action), they instead agreed to a few cosmetic cuts and the sham of forming this wholly unAmerican Politburo, er, Super Committee.

It was always a trap. We saw it and screamed bloody murder about that wretched deal back then. We saw this sneaky Washingtonian insider game would eventually hold Defense and Medicare hostage unless the Stupid Party agreed to the massive tax increases and increased spending schemes of the Evil Party. It was set up specifically and openly to do that and it was obvious to anybody paying attention and with a functioning brain.

We no longer have leaders, patriots, and "public servants" running things in Washington. Instead, we have openly corrupt manipulators like Kerry, Murray, Frank, Obama, and hosts of other locusts who steal from us and destroy our freedoms so they and their connected friends can take over everything and micromanage our lives. The weak and craven like Boehner and McConnell are really in on the deal because they enable the destruction and then go play golf and schmooze with their good friends - our Constitution's mortal enemies.

If we can't stop this juggernaut in 2012 I fear we will soon wind up being quickly destroyed. America as we know it will rapidly collapse and be picked over by the world vultures and our own wicked tyrants.

Forget that mantra about "stealing from our grandchildren". It is we who will have everything we possess stolen and then be marched into the gulags.
