I just heard it but I still can't believe it (Vanity)
Hannity | 8/29/2010 | Self.

Posted on 08/30/2010 7:06:16 PM PDT by Signalman

I was just watching Hannity out here on the West Coast. Hannity had said to Bob Beckel that the polls were devastating for the Dems and Bob Beckel said, and I'm paraphrasing, "These (welfare and entitlement) programs that the Democrats have pushed...we thought we were doing the right thing but we actually have created generations of dependency, and now we have to admit that they have not worked and that they were mistakes."

Hannity looked like he was in a state of shock when he heard Beckel say this and he responded that it was one of the most honest things he's heard.

I still can't believe that Bob Beckel, one of the most partisan Dems around, had the guts to admit this.

Agree. Clearly some method to the madness that’s completely poll-driven. No way that’s an epiphany or anything he believes.

Every once in a while Beckel says something that is both true and straight-forward. He’s the kind of liberal you love to hate and yet you respect him for his bluntness and honesty (at least from his point of view, which is more than I can say about any other Democratic pundit except Pat Caddell and Soug Schoen).

You ought to hear his conservative brother take off on the libs. A hoot. You’d recognize him from movies/entertainment industry.

WOW! An astonishing admission. Holy smokes, what does this mean? Did the earth tilt?

Every now and again Democrats like to pretend they’re intelligent, moral, honest, thinking people (in other words, they like to pretend they’re US). Like everything else they spew, it’s a lie, intended to convince the dumbed down masses that there’s no difference between the two parties (”Gee, that hope and change stuff doesn’t sound bad. How much of a Socialist can this Obama guy BE anyway?”).

Democrats ALWAYS lie.

Caudell wanders into reality ever so often. I will never forget him saying his party had been taken over by thugs, and that was about the Clinton Administration, but he remains a Democrat. It seems to me being a Democrat these days is kind of like Devil worship.

Hillary sent Beckel out to say that. What an “epiphany.” Can’t wait for this to become Hillary’s mantra.

“Every once in a while Beckel says something that is both true and straight-forward.”

I’ve noticed that too about him. Sometimes he’ll say something like ‘he was wrong’ in referene to something Blabbitty says about another lib. That stands out, because normally lib talking heads never do that.

Pure horseshit.

Don’t fall for this crap. They are just trying to save their skins in the november election. They are lying their asses off.

BOOT THEM ALL OUT!

Because once the election is over, the lying sacks of *&*^%ing *&^$#@ will go right back to business as usual.

[i also read on the ticker at fox that Joe Lieberman is the top donater to Harry Reid. Is that right?]

Let me know if that is true. The book I wrote on Harry might put the damper on Lieberman’s generosity.

Perhaps some Dems have seen the deficit spending and the total debt and are launching trial balloons to see what they can cut, politically.

Not surprising since Democrats already cut food stamps to fund a union teachers' retirement "jobs" bill.

Remember, welfare recipients don't make campaign contributions!

Don’t forget Bob Beckel and Hannity are close friends off camera.

That doesn’t mean Beckel was not telling the truth ... but ...

"So we'll need a trillion-dollar unionized Federal agency to fix the problem."

Don't believe them.
