John Harwood is the CNBC journalist who advised Hillarys campaign on how to handle Ben Carson and later bragged to Hillary campaign chairman John Podesta about the rude questions he posed to Donald Trump during a debate.
Harwood's attacks on Republican candidates as a moderator of a Republican primary debate were met with near-universal mockery.
. . .
Harwood claimed that Republicans are radically opposed to government itself and asserted that governing is about taking action to solve peoples problems.

Understood. My FR name is my philosophy!
Government is the greediest, mot corrupt and murderous force on Earth. It’s not even debatable.
Government is a necessary evil, but because of its potential for evil its power must be strictly limited by the rule of law, and its powers must be subservient to the rights of the people from which those powers derive.
They are shocked to stumble on the fact that some people actually revere the US Constitution and love their own country!!
Less Government = More Freedom.
What a stupid man.
I thought no it’s safe to assume he’s talking about Republican POLITICIANS....
If they “radically oppose government” period, ummm....
Why are they IN government... and making a DARN good living, getting elected and re-elected and re-elected... til they die???
No, sweetie, government is a seductive tool that can be used for good or for ill but it will corrupt the best of Men if they become drunk with their power “to do good.”
Even Saddam Hussein believed he was a good guy doing good for “his people.”
Why was this guy allowed to Moderate a Republican Presidential Debate?
When was the last time that government solved A problem? One single problem? Without making the problem (or something else) worse or MUCH worse?
Somehow I don’t have a problem with that.
P.J. O’Rourke put it best, “Republicans are the party that says ‘government doesn’t work.’ Then they get elected and prove it.”
Conservatives recognize governments as God ordained blessings not as replacement gods who will solve every problem in the world with their superior, anointed, wisdom, brilliance and power.

Feelings matter more than law. That is the difference between theLeft and Right today.
No, we are not libertarians. We are opposed to a government that knows not its place.
we are opposed to thug and corrupt government, and to him that is radical...
governing is about taking action to solve peoples problems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really wish we could time-travel some of the founders here to set him straight.
Government is incapable of solving people’s problems. It is only capable of making them worse.
John Harwood thinks Republicans are opposed to the military.
John’s a special kind of stupid
IF ONLY!!!!!!
Lord help us.
I haven’t heard about this dolt since that infamous debate.
Course, his “performance” didn’t surprise any of us. We already knew the fool was a DNC stooge.
Any talk of reducing government makes you an anarchist to a liberal. I have experienced that.
