This is a war for our country on many fronts. But we cannot take our eye off the current prize. Government run Health care, in ANY form, is the proverbial camel's nose under the tent. While tweaking and tort reform are in order, we have to make sure that Van Jones is not used by the left to distract us. By all means, skewer him, keep up the pressure, but he's an ancillary battle.
Glenn Beck brought up the scene from Lord of the Rings where Gandalf confronted with a demon on a bridge stated in no uncertain terms: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
And it’s pretty standard for politicians to avoid the specific answer for a question that’s a clear ‘gottcha’. Palin saw the game Couric was playing and decided not to go along with it.
maybe. he hasn’t been thrown under the bus yet....
Who knows - Barry is on vacation so the phone goes unanswered......
Cheap shot! Meg Whitman released a statement saying she met him on a cruise , and had lunch with him. She didn’t have the chance to pull a security check on him
If she doesn’t read any newspapers, like you said, she should have said so. She just came off looking dumb.
Father! The sleeper(s) has awakened!
SciFi reference for those of you in Rio Linda :-)
You’re showing you’re age.
Exactly two republicans have called for Jones to be investigated and/or fired, one each from the house and senate. Whoop dee doo.
I don’t make “cheap shots” that video where she brought him up and is trying to promote him to the reporters was made almost a year after the cruise.
“Michael Goldfarb has Whitman responding by saying she “did not do a background check of his past over dinner” and “it’s clear that he holds views that I entirely reject.” But that doesn’t even cover her comments in the original video. Whitman didn’t say she had one dinner with him; she said “got to know him very well,” pronounced herself a “huge fan,” then wondered whether Jones would “put someone in charge of what he’s doing here in Oakland.” Four months ago, Whitman wanted reporters to know that she was friendly with an environmental activist who would be working for Obama. Now, Jones is a guy she met at dinner.”

Collectively, the GOP (males) don't have enough balls to fill a thimble more the two dried up peas do. And their spines look like a frick'n ampersands (&).
So far, the only ones from the (R, or Conservative) side of the political aisle putting up any kind of fight, are the women. Palin and Bachmann.
KEEP IT UP LADIES!
Sure, maybe some of the guys are starting to come around, but they should have been there from the get go, right along with the ladies.
BS. The GOP has done no such thing. Independent bloggers and radio hosts have done it. Way to right the coat tails of someone doing real work, Old Party.
When are FReepers going to understand that WE are the Republican Party. If you aren’t satisfied with it, blame your next door neighbors for not being conservative enough.
Van is accustomed to racially bullying uppity white people around. Racists often fall under the illusion that their hate is all powerful. Big mistake.
I know....that makes me laugh!
Now might be a good time to remind you as you trash conservatives like Sarah Palin and defend pro abortion liberals like Meg Whitman, freerepublic is not a republican web site.
Agreed. And, we'll have a much better chance of success with the GOP than without it.

Not defending Meg, but at least she was a successful CEO. And to try to pin Van Jones around her neck is disgusting.
Read post 70, she owns Van Jones, as a major candidate she brought up and promoted Van Jones to the media.
