FNS is better already is Wallace isn’t “hosting” today.

[TomGuy]

A new year (Happy New Year, by the way) but many of the same old names who will be giving the same old spiels.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Jim Jordan right out of the box; “Same-ole same-ole, Give us revenue now and the ‘cuts’ will come later, in the out years. It ain’t gonna happen”

Jordan presents a solution, not a deal.

[Uncle Chip]

Noticed right off the bat that David Gregory keeps substitution the words cuts to “entitlement programs [like Social Security]” for cuts to “government spending”.

Sequestration is supposed to affect “government spending” but the Dems and Media and RINOs are trying to equate cuts to Social Security with cuts to government spending.

How stupid they think we all are.

[TomGuy]

FNS

Van Hollen is a slickster. He knows how to turn phrases. He has managed to put Jim Jordan on the defensive, making Jordan sound like a whiner.

When given the chance to speak, Jordan makes his case.

Van Hollen counters that Obama’s budget is the greatest thing since sliced butter because Dems don’t want to take from the middle class Social Security/Medicare crowd to further enrich millionaires.

[Pubbies just don’t know how to answer the Dems. The Dems have a slick message and they manage to sell it in a way that a majority believe. The Pubbies try to counter but they do no have an effective counter message that they can make believeable.]

[PaleoBob]

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

Is this the beginning of the co-opting of yet another conservative by the Sunday morning talk show mafia?

Frankly, when I see “our” people start hanging around with DNC Dave and Chris (don’t call me Mike) Wallace and the like I get the heebie jeebies.

Wasn’t it decades ago that John McChurian himself was a “conservative” voice on Meet the Press?

Think of Cruz as a block of wood and the Sunday morning Marxist hosts whittlers just taking a piece here and a piece there and, in the end, presto! (albeit ten years later), you’ve got a sell-out RINO all trimmed and pointed and ready to cave in on whatever issue you got out there.

I’m glad I missed the Van Hollen segment on FNS. My day will be much better.

Kristol whines that Obama is spending his time attacking and trying to divide the Republicans in the House.

[Duh! What do you expect from a community organizer/Chicago thug?]

Kristol thinks Obama should be taking the high road.

[Duh! That ‘high road’ really helped McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012. It is sad. The Pubbies are so clueless that they don’t know what hit them and they still don’t know what to do.]

[Uncle Chip]

EJ Dionne and the other Dem talking as if the spending cuts have already kicked out of one side of their mouths and then arguing against such cuts out of the other side.

[SkyPilot]

New definition of GOP "Success."

• Caved to Obama on tax increased, but failed to stop gutting of the military through sequestration taking place in March (military is 18% of the budget, yet takes 50% of the cuts)

• Failed to initiate ANY entitlement reform at all (entitlements bankrupting the nation)

• Not fighting new Obama "gun control" proposals that will instantly lead to millions of Americans becoming over night felons subject to fascist searches, prison terms, and tyranny

• Providing zero leadership on the great moral struggles of our age (abortion and homosexuality)

When the debt ceiling/continuing resolution/sequestration TRIPLE CLIFF happens in March, I fully expect these two to fold like a cheap tent. Do you know what Obama did during that last debt ceiling standoff?

He threatened to withhold people's Social Security direct deposit checks the next week, despite Congress saying they would fund those.

That's ALL it took. And that is all it will take for the GOP to fold again.

Democrat Economic Mentality: Those creating wealth cannot spend it right and only Democrats know how to spend it before the wealth gets too concentrated for any of the productive individuals.

That’s why the Simple Macroeconomics of: The More Money Taken Out of the Private Sector, The Smaller the Private Sector, just doesn’t Matter in the Democrat’s Legislation and Regulation.

That’s also why it’s just fine if Gore sells before tax rates are expected to increase and Kerry can dock his yacht in another state to avoid paying higher taxes. They've already got their wealth and too bad for everyone else who doesn't, go get an education and join the middle class.

Watched 5 minutes of MTP and the same of FNS. I just happened to tune in for Newt and Carly

While they both said a few good things, I did not appreciate them one bit suggesting that the debt ceiling was off limits

Why do they think they were invited on the show in the first place? Shirley((airplane) they know???? If not then they are not that bright!

Gregory only had Newt on because he had his writings on the debt ceiling, and same for Carly.

Yes I know they had perhaps a couple other things to say, but still they are only helping set up the MSM talking points for why we just have to raise the debt ceiling...They are only allowing themselves to be used, was kind of sickening really!
