I am weary beyond belief of seeing clinton re-treads on all the talk shows. We saw and heard them ad nauseum for 8 years. In a country of more than 250 million people, there are surely some new faces from all walks of life that could be on these shows.
On Steph's show this morning, he introduced Martha Radditz, who has been their Penatgon correspondent...and the NEW White House correspondent...so, wouldn't she be taking Moran's spot...
OOPS..."and the NEW White House correspondent...should be "AS the NEW White House correspondent...sorry.
Makes sense to me, and if anyone deserves to get his White House press pass pulled, it's Terry Moron. Now if only they'd yank passes from Helen Thomas and David Gregory ...
Unfortunately, that probably means that Martha Radditz is even more biased and unsufferable than Terry Moron.
:0)
For now I don't think the Dems had anything to do with Murtha going on MTP. Cause like you say, he'd have been everywhere had the Dems been hyping it. I think MTP called Murtha and HE agreed to go on.
It's also interesting there's no Repub to counter him. I think this is by design. So okay a lot of them have gone home for the holiday but can't they video those things locally? Maybe the pubbies figured by debating this guy it lends him credibility. Isolate him and he looks like the Moonbat he is.
I'm convinced Murtha was the Dems' Ace in the Hole, to be brought out close to the Iraq final vote coming soon. I'm also convinced, FOLLOW THE MONEY, that Murtha's knee deep in some oil-for-palaces action.
Which partially explains this new coordinated Democrat strategy. And I know how fickle the average voter is too. I do not take this new strategy lightly, but apparently most here do.
Just disgraceful
Thanks here are 2 more sitting on top of the loft - I will not post here as a large photo but just put the links

We can see the truth of your statement in the polls. No matter how much we wish to not believe the sinking poll numbers of both the president and support for the war, there is a lessening of support for both.
And it's a direct result of over a year of people who don't pay attention to the news the way we do and hearing the MSM and left proclaim the war is based on lies. That MUST be countered and countered repeatedly.
I see no good reason to permit the lies to stand.
Think about this,
1) If the Military starts to draw down troops because they have been successful in handing over operations to the Iraqi military, the Dems will take credit for forcing the American military to withdraw.
2) If the military does not draw down troops, the dems will continue to call it a quagmire and demand an exit strategy.
ABC official line - reassigned to Nightline's one of 3 anchors. But before that, there was a little tiff with Nicole Wallace - WH Com.Dir. Don't know the full details.
As is characteristic of these individuals words have a purpose and no real meaning. By that I mean they can tell outrageous lies and exhibit no apprehension because they are speaking for effect rather than describing a factual matter.
Someone in our Administration should check everything Biden said and, especially, his claim that VP Cheney claimed an imminent nuclear threat.
The RATS are just going crazy over the split in their ranks and the threat that Iraq is going to be a historical success in bringing democratic values to the Mideast.
"The roundtable on Stephy keeps talking about how "The American People" expect to see progress and we need to see that benchmarks have been set and accomplished...
The MSM always try to couch THEIR distrust and dislike by using "we, the American people" to so their dirty work...and I for one, do not like it."
The Clintonistas used a similar spin during Bubba's troubles. I can still hear Ann Lewis screech, he needs to get back to work for the American People. My response was I don't like the work he's doing for this American.
The American People would SEE PROGRESS if the jerks in the MSM would actually report ALL of the facts. However, for the most part, they only choose to report the car bombings, and not the building that's taken place and all the other good things that are being done, including, that 15 of the 18 provinces are basically secure and doing well. They make it look like the whole country is in disarray. They barely showed the last election, which was truly historical in a number of ways (Arab nation ratifying their own constitution, people in Iraq doing something most in the world (including those of us living in the US today) have never had an opportunity to do - ratify their Constitution, larger turnout than we have in our own country, even for Presidential elections, etc.).
I agree. The President and the military have many more facts and experience and know what's going on over there (and how other issues influence it and vice versa) than I. I'll admit something Stephy and other media lame brains don't seem able to admit to - I am not a military expert. It's up to the Pres and military to make those decisions, and w this Pres and SOD, I'm perfectly comfortable with them doing so.
Thanks for the ping!
The Dims no longer have any real power and, thus, must resort to spin, illusion and counter punching which makes them look pathetic. And, as an extra-added-bonus this past week they went way too close to the edge and our guys had the savvy and guts requisite to push them right off the cliff!
It's a great day in America!
Ahhh. Interesting. I didn't know that.
