I think I understand your point...particularly regarding Chris Wallace. I do not find Chris Wallace particularly appealing.
I was probably too quick to make assumptions about what you were saying...and reacted too much on the ‘life goes on’ part when referring to the events in Newtown. All life is precious and I accept that you feel that too.
Hope you have a blessed Christmas.
Time for the transcripts!

I think he's running for Masshole Senator...
I found his campaign sign...
Hey Ben, 
I play tennis with many 70 yr olds who can run and jump with the youngsters:o)
The fancy car and driver, not always a limo, that picked her up from school was a normal occurance, too.
I watched the Affleck interview, and thought that if he is serious about shedding light on the atrocities happening in the Congo, I will applaud him for his interest. I was wondering why no African-Americans with microphone access have a word to say about the destruction of the people there.
I doubt that he wants to be a senator. He just wants to sell movie tickets. About his movie, I wonder if one of the ‘students’ who captured the Embassy staff will look like Ahmadinajad, as we saw in real time photos? Or would that be pushing the envelope a bit too far?
Here is an exchange between Shieffer and Tim Scott that should be an example to every single Republican in front of a microphone:
SCHIEFFER: Let’s talk a little bit about the fiscal cliff. You know, the speaker took a deal to the president and then took it to his own caucus, and he didn’t have the votes. He couldn’t deliver the votes to guarantee his own proposal. What happens now?
SCOTT: Well, I think it’s important for us to note that the House has acted already. The House — we’ve passed sequestration on four occasions. We’ve extended all the tax cuts. And now we wait for a response from the other side. We stand prepared to be here in Washington whenever the president or the Senate has a proposal that we can take and act on.
SCHIEFFER: But, you know, Congressman, I mean, with all respect, it seems like both sides seem to be, “Well, we’re waiting for them. We’re waiting for this. We’re waiting for that.” But the fact is nothing ever gets done. Is this actually going to stand? Do you think that this Congress, Democrats, Republicans, the Senate and the House, will let us go over this so-called fiscal cliff?
SCOTT: That’s a really good question. And that’s one of the reasons why I’m pretty excited about the fact that we have already acted. We acted several months ago to extend the tax cuts for all Americans. We don’t have to go over the cliff. There is a piece of legislation that has passed the House, which is good news...
*****
The Face the Nation transcript writer had the courtesy of showing that Sheiffer did not allow Scott to finish his point, as Scott was reiterating that the House Republicans have acted to save the tax cuts. Shieffer went on to bash Boehner with a new question.
I like Scott and believe that he will be an asset on these shows if he ever gets invited back.
LOL!!
Even old Bob as old as he is knows how to play the moral equivalency game its both sides at fault never just their side that’s screwing up. After its said by someone on the left it becomes a truth for the DBM. As for us if Rush can’t counter it we are stuck with whatever they say as the new truth.
So...he's down with the packer/muncher baby-killers. I thought as much.
He got waaaaay too much time on FNS.
Merry Christmas to you :)
Yes his line is...”I am pro life but” A term he used to rationalize voting Democrat, also used that same term to brain wash others into same
Could not even the other day On Fox admit that there was a difference between the Presidency of GW Bush and Obama...Remember he was asked this as a so called Christian pastor
Could see no difference....While we are disappointed with John Roberts, we hope he will come around on other issues, and we are delighted with Alito
But apparently that means nothing to Warren
