The Talk Shows
June 10th, 2012
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Gov. Mitch Daniels, R-Ind.; Dennis Van Roekel, president of the National Education Association; Thea Lee, AFL-CIO deputy chief of staff.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Pre-empted by the French Open.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich.; Govs. Scott Walker, R-Wis., and Martin O'Malley, D-Md.; AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Former Govs. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., and Mike Huckabee, R-Ark.; former Pennsylvania senator and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): David Axelrod, adviser to President Obama's re-election campaign.; Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.; Reps. Peter King, R-N.Y., and Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif.
Gov. Mitch Daniels, R-Ind. comes across a folksy
knowledgable, principled, conservative.
RomneyPIMP Chris Wallace attacks him over and
over. Although Wallace has meticulously IGNORED
Romney's imposition of RomneyCARE upon
Massachsetts (and the US since it was in part federally
funded) , Wallace wants Daniels "to take a look"
at what he did in his state to raise costs.
Wow. FOX's Wallace's long-standing selective myopia
has given way to a new bias FOR the DNC/SEIU.
Romney-PIMP Wallace gets to the IMPORTANT point
at the end: RINO Romney.
Wallace wants Daniels to defend Romney from
an Obama ad. Wisely, Gov. Daniels focuses on the
real issue, so Wallace grabs the floor to push TARP
and Mitt.
FOX's Anchor wife in Training explains that
Romney needs to have a bold liberal agenda,
rather than being an "antiObama".
Yes, indeedy. Obama and Romney on the same
side, with bold new agenda coming from Romney
who gave America gay marriage, RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE,
and more already.
America has gotten its klaxxon from FOX today.
Hang on to your hats and wallets.
Union hacks on FNS say corporate America puts too much into elections. Hmmm... the union is one of the largest campaign contributors, if not the largest, and over 95% of their contributions goes to Democrats.
Hmmmmm...hard to tell. I kinda don't think so.
Now he's laying out statistics for the union thugs showing how good they have it compared to private sector employees.
Predictably, the union chickee trying to defend the overpaid drones on the public dole.
Union hacks blaming the Koch brothers for the WI loss. People support unions at the end of the day which is why only 7% belong to them. No Clue.
We have to find a way to take money away from the wealthy and give it to the workers.
Public sector workers are more educated and skilled than private sector. These thugs have no idea people are seeing through them.
Good morning, Alas.
I know it’s not your fault but, omigosh, the French open looks like the best show this morning.
I just watched Mitch Daniels. He was not inspiring. He’s a good guy and all that, but there is more passion in a hand puppet.
I think he made a mistake is his farm-boy goes to meeting blue denim button down shirt. It made him look less professional than the properly dressed (but clueless) Chris Matthews.
If Mitt Romney was watching, I’m guessing he drew a big ‘no’ line through Daniels as a veep candidate.
And I know Chris thinks it’s his job to be confrontive on the show (especially it seems with Republicans) but could he have been more thorough with the dem talking points.
Daniels refuted them all but very passively.
And the rest of the shows look tepid at best, but I’m sure there will interesting comments on this thread.
These hacks are dinosaurs spewing the commie line of the evil Republican against the Proletariat underpaid teachers. Wonder how much these two union thugs make.
Where you going to get more revenues. Raise taxes!
Fire the union goons now!
Union chick on FNS says Gov. Walker gave big tax breaks to those “evil” corporations so he created his budget woes. She didn’t take Economics 101. Why not just tax corporations out of oblivion and see what happens to state tax collections, dollars for education, etc.? She also says we should raise taxes to meet all the obligations. Liberalism at work here. Union guy, of course, touts unfair distribution of wealth.
Haven’t watched the rapid union thugs yet, but wondering how much the NEA guy loves Mitt Romney since I believe that was one of the agencies Mitt proposes to disband.
Mitch did make the point that should be obvious but apparently isn’t, that its the private sector money that pays for all the teachers, firemen, and cops Obama thinks Romney wants to fire.
My daughter works for city government and cities are lacking in funds because they depend on property taxes. Property taxes are down because property values are down and cities are hurting for money.
Morning AB, ALL....
As always, AB, thank you for doing this thread.
Already I caught a big nanny-nanny-boo-boo.
This lady hyping the union line (how much money would YOU take to be a professional liar?) said something that makes me smile at the hypocrisy.
Wallace asks her if she thinks it’s right that average non-union citizens who make waaaaay less than union workers to have to pay taxes to increase the wages of public union workers.
She says, you should smile and I’m not making this up, “THAT’S RIDICULOUS! THAT’S TAKING AWAY FROM ONE GROUP AND THAT’S NOT THE AMERICAN WAY.”
And yet, as yon ladies and gems guffaw, that is EXACTLY the liberal/socialist dogma, is it not?
Tax the rich? Make the wealthy pay more so that....well does the money absconded from the “rich” ever really go to the poor and n’er do wells?
One philosophy for the evil rich private sector, another for the rich union workers.
Heh.
“Raise taxes to make sure the attracting the very best people into public service.”
No we need the best people in private service.
FNS
Thea Lee, AFLCIO: Solution, raise taxes on the rich.
Wallace IS taking it to Lee and van Roekel regarding union benefits and wages.
van Roekel decries that corporate management gets so much money, while the workers get peanuts.
==
It is quite evident that neither Lee nor van Roekel understand the concept of the free market and wealth creation.
They espouse the same ole lines of class warfare — ‘the rich are getting richer and we want a lot of that new enrichment’.
Those two seem to be clueless that it is the rich who creates jobs by creating and building businesses.
He had killer facts, and strong credibility due to results of his actions, but he presented a poor visage. Probably too early in the morning for him.
My national ad would need still shots of the rabid Wallace vs a smiling Daniels complete with coat and tie, and an exciting pleasant-voiced announcer delivering the message from the edited transcript.
Wow, listening to these Goonion-RATs is sucking the life out of me.
Mr 23 yr Math teacher finally uses some math, the 1% need to be punished for the 99%. Wonder what group his salary and benis put him. Most likely around $200K+. How about he starts with himself for those poor underpaid teachers.
To any government union "workers" out there:
Just like welfare queens, you are nothing but greedy aggressive parasites, existing only on booty legally stolen from normal hard-working Americans.
Next question...
That trouble will be stemmed in Nov.the regime will be retired and the Kardashians can go back to corrupt Chicago.
FNS
Male-panelist-not-Kristol tries to provide some cover for Team Obama, as he wonders whether the Admin tried to get the MSM to NOT publish the various leak-related materials.
[Why would they? They were the ones doing the leaking to prop up Obama.]
Liaison says that, if the MSM held back any info, then they must have even greater bombshells; thus, she doesn’t think they held back anything. [Twisted rationalization.]
Kristol says that SecDef Gates went to the NSA office and told them to ‘STFU’ regarding classified info.
Male-panelist wants to give independent investigation/investigator time to find out what when on. [Hoping such investigation would find nothing or extend beyond the election?]
LCheney says that, IF the Prez authorized, the American people have a right to know. [Considering all the Washington stonewalling on Fast & Furious, that won’t happen, Liz.]
That trouble will be stemmed in Nov.the regime will be retired and the Kardashians can go back to corrupt Chicago.
This month, the White House was exposed leaking critically sensitive
classified national security information materials
to try to reelect the Undocument pRes_ _ent
(with at least 4 or 5 separate damaging leaks).
Years ago, this would be treason.
Today, there is a yawn.
Bill Kristol - This is "very damaging".
Bipartisan outrage is noted.
Calls it the"worse" he has ever seen,
paraphrasing with attribution Diane Feinstein.
Charles Lane - "This is important for the public to know about."
He minimizes the treason and impacts.
He also says further investigations must not continue,
as he lauds the present investigators.
He says, "Releasing classified information is not a crime".
RomneyPIMP Chris Wallace interrupts Lane the first time he speaks
to defend Obama claiming the WH tried
to withhold information on the Stuxnet virus info release.
Liz Cheney was amazed by involvement of National Security aides.
She wants to know if there was direct pRes_ _ential
authorization, or simply acquiescence (and why).
This is "a betrayal to the Nation".
She wants an independent investigation.
Mara Liason notes it was "orchestrated" from the White House.
Conclusion: The antiAmerican pRes_ _ent is involved,
and Wallace/FOX and Lane appear to know more about the treason
and its coverup than they are saying.
We now have a Feral Government. Feral is the best definition of the misuse of Federal powers by The Won.
FNS
clip: Obama says he has created 4.5 million jobs during the first 27 weeks of his Admin.
==
Okay, but that equates to about 39,000 new jobs per week, while unemployment raged at nearly 500,000 per WEEK for half that 27 weeks and currently running around 380,000 per WEEK currently.
His number of news jobs sounds great as a cumulative number, but the number getting WEEKLY unemployment is running at 5.97 million, and that does NOT include all those who exhausted benefits.
Obama 4.5 million new jobs means about 1 new job for every 10 jobs lost.
