Morning Joe Video - "Morning Joe" panel of experts completely baffled by Tea Party women
###
Confusion was the word of the day on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this morning when the panel questioned why so many women have been drawn to the Tea Party movement.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski, The New York Times’ Sam Tanenhaus, CBS’s Lesley Stahl, columnist Mike Barnicle, and Newsweek’s Jon Meacham were initially stumped when Stahl prompted the discussion.
“I wanted to ask all the gurus here, why so many of the Tea Partiers are women. I find that just intriguing and don’t quite understand why that has happened,” Stahl said.
To which the panel replied: “I have no idea.” “Sarah Palin?” “I don’t know.” “I don’t know either.”

Sonja Eddings Brown, president and founder of The Kitchen Cabinet, an organization dedicated to mobilizing fiscally conservative women to get out the vote, was stupefied by the exchange. “It’s hard to say whether it’s just Lesley Stahl, or whether it is MSNBC as whole that is so completely out of touch with America, and so deaf to the footsteps on the ground, that they would spend a morning dialogue trying to figure out ‘WHY’ there are so many women leading the Tea Party movement,” she told The Daily Caller. “Are they kidding?”
Tanenhaus eventually surfaced with an attempted explanation. “You’ve been talking about the economy, who runs the household economy in America? The classic Greek work for economics means ‘home economy.’ Who’s paying the bills, who’s worried about the kids and college loans?” he offered.
Barnicle took a stab at the riddle as well. “It could be women, as we all know, are smarter than men. And they have better instincts than men, and they know — off of what you just said — that the government or the household, you have a checkbook, you can’t start writing checks for things you can’t pay for, the checks bounce. We’ve been bouncing checks as a government for twenty years.”
“Women are primarily responsible for the finances in their household, own small businesses, take care of their children and their aging parents,” she explained to TheDC. “And when those things are threatened, women fight back. This movement empowered them. They found the means to become politically active, found a voice, where they never had before.”

“Women are carrying the flag in Tea Parties because the liberal Democrat agenda has broken our economy and compromised our system of government. Economically, conservative women are marching to the polls in 14 days and we have the Tea Parties to thank for ringing the fire alarm,” she said.

ROFL! Jeeze .. Beltway elites are obviously hopeless. If they don't get it yet, they'll NEVER get it. Heck with 'em .. they'll soon be joining the other media doofi, taking what's left of their 201Ks and going to pasture.
Women are all about security. Smart women know that radical Dem policies are a threat to security.
It’s not rocket science, except for that Congressional race in southern Arizona (Ruth McClung). :^)
Goes to show how stupid liberals, especially Stahl, are. Why ask a bunch of liberals about something conservative? Except, of course, to get a pat, liberal answer so they can all agree and consider the question “solved” and be reported as fact?
Ping!
Centrally planned economies always collapse suddenly, the USSR being a good example. The elites are always taken by surprise, but the “peasants” see it coming and the smart ones prepare.
Now is the time for all wise patriots to prepare.
Panel of gurus:
Clueless
Legally Blond
Jackass
Dumb
and Dumber
LOL ...
What doofi, huh ?
While channel surfing I sometimes stop on PMSNBC when Morning Joe.
It is sometimes necessary to just change the channel to save me from having to buy a new TV a few times each week.
Either they don’t have a clue or they are totally following an Axeldork script.
Gee, doesn’t every woman want an abortion? Clueless.
Pray for America
So I guess, according to their reactions about the ‘Tea Party Women”, if a woman isn’t pro-abortion, pro-Nanny state, pro-government intrusion into the economy, she’s not REALLY a woman?
The LARGE elephant in that room is that the answer to their rhetorical question is a deafenng
NO!!!
They'll never get it...never!
Michelle Limpet took a stab at the riddle as well. “It could be men, as we all know, are smarter than women. And they have better instincts than women...
Not funny? Oh, sorry for the hate crime. But hey, if I convert to Islam, then it's a cultural thing and the feminists will shut up. So I always have that option.
Mika Brzezinski, Sam Tanenhaus, Lesley Stahl, Mike Barnicle, and Jon Meacham? Did anyone expect anything else from those five partisan shills? Thanks Starwise.
ROFL!!
