Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Ed Gillespie, adviser to Romney's campaign; Robert Gibbs, adviser to Obama's campaign.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Govs. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., and Bob McDonnell, R-Va.; Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed; Ted Cruz, Republican Senate nominee in Texas.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani; Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform; Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Stephanie Cutter, deputy campaign manager for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign; Kevin Madden, adviser to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign; Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa; Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.; Norquist.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Cutter; Eric Fehrnstrom, adviser to Romney's campaign; former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa.
And there’s yer dam two-hunnert soundbite Larri.
The chart is great, but labels should indicate red for Obama-Biden and green for R-R.
As to FNC, Gillespie was not as sharp as he should have been. Took 3 questions for him to get to the critical message, and Chris Wallace helped take him there:
1. Obama raided $716 B from Medicare to feed Obamacare
2. Obamacare will drain immediate $$$ from seniors
3. No one 55 and older affected.
Gillespie: do better pronto.
What does RIH mean?
The American people get the G’ment we elect. For many years now we have known that the Democrats are Socialist dictators who desire to reduce this country to third world status.
Candidates running under the Republican banner have been mostly the same.
The Last time Republicans even attempted to reduce the Socialist creep of the Federal G’ment was Newt’s failed attempt at reducing the growth of the Federal G’ment in 1995.
2010 and 2012 has provided candidates who actually talk about eliminating Federal G’ment - Ted Cruz is just one example. Ryan may prove to be another
Rot in Hell...
Gillespie didn’t mention the ACA Death Panel that will affect seniors and everyone else immediately. This should be about Obamacare and its problems—not Medicare. The majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed. The 2010 mid terms should be used as a template,.
Yep, want to share with you all some financial insights, as some of us are still saving for our retirement/future. I am going for the turn-around. Don’t take this as rock solid financial advice, just an option to discuss. I am not the author;
Market Meltdown Portfolio
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2920161/posts
“a rundown of a portfolio that I think will hold up in any adverse market collapse”
You forget Bush's attempt to reform Soc Security in 2005 that was torpedoed by McCain and a gutless RINO clique in the US Senate
Which brings up a thought, I have. Did American voters elect them, or were our politicians selected? I used to think I knew. In the present, there are too many gray areas fading to black or fog for me to now hold the opinion American voters elect our leaders, and leaders are not selected. Not sure ... and the other reasons I hold for my current beliefs are money, media, and sound bites. Basically the voters are told by money, media, and sound bites nothing on which to base a decision or a vote. IMHO Friend.
NBC has come up with (via dem PR firm 'help') a monthly unemployment map. A map made Obama's team look bad this month - high unemployment all over the US... BUT WILL LOOK GREAT BEFORE THE ELECTION. Watch and see.
In short liberals are going to gig the numbers. Worse than truthful now - better than truthful before the election. Compare the MAPS - SEE THE TREND - STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS...
It's an old carney con - and 'the press' won't catch it. In fact, NBC is in on the con - wait and see.
And you can always counter trickle down with logic, asking if they are advocate open faucet or closed faucet instead? And then, ‘how’s that work’?
Men’s Health magazine says the Egg McMuffin is one of the healthiest breakfasts a person can consume.
I agree with you. Mooch-ells’s public scolding of Gabby was detestible. The child had too much good upbringing to retort or challenge an “adult” but she was clearly uncomfortable.
Mooch-elle’s comment was not in jest. The B is serious about controlling all behavior...and she wants PAID! to do so.

I tend to counter it using how does demand side economics work? The answer is put money in the hands of buyers and they will spend it to grow the economy. That begs the explanation that the money has to be take from someone before giving it to someone else. And that by eliminating the concept of producing something of value that can be sold, the cycle stops at giving away money someone else earned. Neither party wins.
Further....I used to make Egg McMuffins.
An English muffin, little butter, little square sliver of cheese, a small round of Canadian bacon....not a fatty meat. Fried egg, not even fried in butter.
About 250-300 calories I’d guess.
Moochelle....jeez louise I hope the American people get a clue about this silly woman.
No one wants to bring up the "choice" that seniors have to make about spending money to cover all or some of the medical expenses that Medicare does not cover. I spent some serious time in our local hospital this past year, and my only bills were for telephone/tv - because I also had chosen a very comprehensive Medicare SUPPLEMENT plan.
General impression; The Republican spokesmen need to hammer the the same points over and over and over;
Step 1 to recovery is to get Obama and his Regluation Zombies out of the Executive Branch,
Step 2 is to have adults run the tax legislation. We will not have an economic recovery that involves job growth until business owners (the golden gooses who actually are sitting on the cash) feel comfortable that they can reasonably plan, and Barack Obama does not understand that because he has never even run a lemonade stand, let alone met a payroll, and
Step 3 - we need to realize that it is not in our National Interest to have our cheap plastic crap made in China. It is, however, in our National Interest to have our cheap plastic crap made in Mexico. That way we can save on labor cost because we can't quit our regulatory addiction and if real jobs existed in Mexico all those illegals who don't have a nationality would just walk home and stay home with the jobs and opportunities they can't find at home now.
Regarding your drug costs, have you tried Kmart pharmacy, Fishtalk? Kmart has a prescription savings plan that costs $10 a year for the household. I was helping someone find a lower cost alternative to a generic drug that cost them over $100 at Walmart (they have no insurance). After paying the $10 fee for the drug plan, the cost at Kmart was about $25. Not sure if they carry generics for the drugs you take, but it might be worth a phone call to your local Kmart pharmacy to see what your regimen would cost compared to what you are paying.
Yep, watching THIS WEEK (ABC) earlier they missed the correlation between tax cuts and increased revenue to the treasury too. The good news is no matter how Democrats try to sell their plan, it is getting more evident it doesn’t work for private sector growth.
I agree but it drives me nuts that our side does not explain growing the economy increases tax revenues that are not counted by the CBO OR the Democrats. So the assumptions thrown at our side is a false narrative.
Cheers!
I'm guessing his wife still has him pinned to the mattress...
Cheers!
Yep, been having that discussion with a know-it-all, and it’s so disappointing that otherwise normal nice fella gets all loud and conversation dominate as he blurts out false information, and I humbly keep having to correct him. Next time, I will be less humble as I recap our previous discussions and require him to have facts or cork it.
Just goes to my first point - Most elected Republicans are Socialist wannabe dictators just like their good friends the Democrats
Bush and last GOP Congress budget deficit 2006-$160 billion
Obama and last Democrat Congress deficit 2010-1.6 Trillion
Repeal the 19th amendment, and only let landowners vote (Smile)
I guess the Wookiee Chewbaklava can't get her well-toned arms around that.
So was Dr. Mengele...
My opinion is that the elected representatives - both the Democrats and Republicans have been growing the Federal G’ment. This being the equivalent of Socialism.
Bush - No child left behind. We can look at the Iraq and Afghan wars with another perspective - Bomb them to the stone age, get out and let them figure it out. This was somewhat the case for Easter Europe when FDR sold this portion of the world to Communist tyranny. Or spend the time and money to nation build.
I am looking for candidates who will work to eliminate Federal G’ment departments. This should help reduce the Federal budget and give us back our freedom
Yep, doing my part for ALL business, Made in the USA too;

It has a nice big top perch, my main buying point, but my cats have yet to figure out how to get all the way to the top, so I’ve put it by the window with a couple of assistance furnishes around it, here’s where I actually got it;

As when someone says both parties are alike, no, they were, but the conservatives are actively trying to rid Republicans of the spoiled politicians, well Democrat supporters will put up with it at any cost just to see a Democrat elected over a Republican.
We have other arguments at heritage.org.
The stuff below from heritage makes great arguments and if we don’t start using it soon we may regret it.
Here is a list of the top five reasons we need to use more in our arguments to win.
1. If Job creators are over taxed its costs 700k jobs,you cans see the detail in the link.
2.The “uncertainty” alone for investors is a huge problem not knowing what the obama regime will do next currently has billions upon billions of investment capital on the sidelines not doing anything but collecting dust and lots of it offshore.
3.The more taxation the lower the incentive.
4. Within obamacare alone just to mention a few of the problems is a 3.8% investment tax of all things. You just can’t win with socialism.
5. The death tax kicks in big time with an obama win.
As you can see there is so much at stake financially its the difference between a huge win for the economy vs. socialism coming after every producer in the country and we haven’t even touched on energy or anything else.
RIH=rat(democrat) in hiding
... and Kevorkian.
The other thing thy are doing is the blue/red dem Republican state map on CNN and other dem nets. They are showing how zero has it all sewn up and its all uphill for Romney to win.Very slick. Truth is the swing states are everything this year and we are ahead in almost all or trending up.
Didn’t stay to look at the count, but there’s at least mine added....
Just GRRRRRRRRRRR...
The problem with your opinion is: All RATs are socialists, but only some of the Republicans are. Some of the RINOs are now gone.
We anticipate more TEApublican members this Fall.
He’s got more good stuff too, in this one he points out what is wrong with Democrat Economist, I hope he catches on with some conservative talk show host, a much better guest then all the ones the media likes to get for the ‘unexpected’ headlines;

Here’s all his video’s, they recap topics we should all be familiar with;
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUvgqC_r_dg5VMDLaF9FDhIg&feature=plcp
If we don't hammer them on this one we deserve to lose.
Yeah, with all the volatility in the economy, I have been closely looking at options. As long as Romney wins, there is a chance to get back to fiscal sanity. If not, I may be wishing I listened to Ann Barnhardt;
Ann Barnhardt: ‘If You’re Still in These Markets You’re Either Stupid or On Drugs! ‘
http://www.silverdoctors.com/ann-barnhardt-if-youre-still-in-these-markets-youre-either-stupid-or-on-drugs/
Ann: It’s just par for the course, and really the big news within the last few days relative to the PFG case is the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals decision- relative to (and I know we’re getting into lots of different companies and lots of different outfits here) the Sentinel Management Group, which was a non-clearing FCM, that was a Ponzi, that crashed all the way back in 2007. So this happened 5 years ago, and they’re just getting the stuff adjudicated- like I said, the decision from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals just was published on Friday.
What that decision said, unbelievably, is that basically all property rights in the United States are gone. Up in smoke.
The court ruled that if you have money with an FCM and they fraudulently used YOUR MONEY that they’re holding as a custodian- if they use your funds to go and borrow money to finance their own in-house proprietary trading desk, when that Ponzi collapses, the customers have absolutely no rights to their own property, and that the counter-party- meaning the mega-bank that lended the FCM the money fraudulently, they stay at the front of the line!
Cool, but we have dogs. (laughing)
Still, we’re doing our best to buy USA as much as possible.
Sounds like you are up against a typical brainwashed Democrat. They get frustrated real easy and super quick! Whenever they encounter solid arguments with real stats reality hits them really quite hard. They have to leave Disney world, say good bye to Santa and when they hit bottom it hurts.
That’s why we are here Dan to straighten their sorry asses out!!
I keep my fishing rods in racks.They don’t eat much and don’t poop on the floor. Don’t howl at the neighbors either!!
LOL!!!
One thing that’s amazing to me is Democrats say their savings will come from “waste, fraud and abuse” yet they are guilty of creating waste fraud and abuse either directly by giving it to their crony supporters or from people gaming their inefficient bureaucracy. In other words, Democrats caused the problems that they say will provide savings.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Well that’s the same as my #205!
