Ughh, ughh and ughh!

Good Morning everyone and thanks for the thread and ping AB.

I was barely able to hit the mute button in time to hear Mcwassiname say “Thank you Kri...

Hope I can glean something broadcast-worthy out of this morning’s pile-o-crap.

Morning AB, All....

....thank you AB, as always, for doing this thread and putting up with us. You are fair and admirable moderator of this thread.

Also, please contribute to the Freepathon if you haven’t already so we may have this thread every week.

So this week we have phony scandals and right now, as we speak, our former presidential contender is going on and on about the Snowden guy when he should be ranting and railing about the description of these awful things going on under Obama that they are NOT phony.

Nobody cares all that much about Snowden, we care about what Obama’s doing with this country.

SO DOESN’T MCCAIN RAISE HELL ABOUT HIM CALLING THESE SCANDALS PHONY?

Why is this man still the only Republican showing up on talk shows, now that I think about it?

Add me to the ones who don’t care about McCain.

We have no opposition party in this country, THAT’S the problem.

Thanks, they have used the Endangered Species Act as a weapon to promote their agenda through the courts. It has destroyed our resource economy and is time to turn these decisions over to the states who can develop our resources.

Oregon has a forest 150 miles wide and 300 miles long which is not being managed properly. It could supply the world with the finest lumber on earth and is being locked up.

Media consensus has decided InSain is the spokesman for the GOP. Anyone else is an extremist.

If you can tolerate the other panelists, Louis Gohmert is worth listening to today on Steffi’s show. He even has to take on George Will, as he defends the positions of the House of Reps..

Before we trash her, albeit she may be more of a Lib....

“Anu is SWAN’s first Executive Director. A former Captain and Company Commander, Anu served as a Marine officer from 1999-2004 and was the second woman to complete the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program instructor trainer school, earning a black belt in close combat techniques. Under Anu’s leadership, SWAN has spearheaded legislative reform and litigation to end military rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and domestic violence, and to eliminate all barriers to equal opportunity for service women”

Pat, I know that's a rhetorical question, but let me answer.

Because he is who they invited. And he is constantly invited to be on these shows because the media has an agenda. McCain fulfills that agenda very well.

What is that agenda, you ask? Well, you didn't ask, but I'll tell you anyway...

No less than the triumph of socialism, the defeat of the conservative political movement and the spread of atheistic, earth-worshipping, government-dependency of the less than elite-class of the American people.

The media consider themselves the elite. Along with their like-minded political betters, they want to be able to dictate to the rest of us everything and anything.

McCain is a vain idiot who just never realizes that he is a tool.

I thought that the election of 2008 would prove that to him, when the media turned on their favorite "Maverick" and tried to make him the Second Coming of Darth Cheney, but he was too stupid to comprehend what was going on.

But his criticism of conservative thought and action is still very useful to the agenda, and therefore he's a perennial invite on these shows.

Hey Fox News - nobody cares about McCain.
Republicans don’t care.

Democrats don’t care.

Nobody cares about McCain.

Nobody.


McCain is often on these shows because he is bone stupid and so are most of the American people—it’s all about trying to draw the biggest audience.

Bone stupid.

The military at most counts for 20% of the entire Federal budget...yet we’re having to take nearly 50% of all cuts under the sequester. And NONE of the true money wasting projects are even touched!


This is the problem in a nutshell. It’s not that there aren’t billions that COULD be cut from the DOD budget. But this is the money that is politically protected.

Instead, they stick it to the fighting force.

Those aren’t an agenda, they’re characteristics of the elitist bastards now running the world from the shadows, having little yearly meetings like the Bilderberg Group. ALL the powerful democrips attend at one time or another, and get their marching orders renewed. Soemtimes the elitists invite democrips to their residences in places like Georgetown, to be told who will be the democrips’ nominee, like in 2008 just before super Tuesday ... Feinstein probably awakens each day with a smirk on her face, knowing she is more powerful after all is done than little barry bastard boy.
