A political party that can ignore abuse of power, rape and obstruction of justice by saying "it's only about sex" and not even look at the existing evidence, is fully capable of twisting whatever happens into something totally foreign to normal people.

I don't think Iran or Syria are going to stop their funding of Hamas, and ther flow of arms to to them just because they won a Pali election?

I heard him say something very similar to this on FOX about a week or so ago, I cannot imagine why anyone would think he might want to stop the nomination, it just does not make sense to me.

The libs have their talking points. Elections do not mean democracy. See Hamas, see failure in Iraq!

I don't think that $$ flowing to Hamas, from places like Syria or Iran, is predicated on whether they get monetary aid from us.

I thought I was the only one that watched Newswatch..LOL

There's at least 3 of us, though it's not every week for me.

I have come closer to throwing something at my TV when Gabler talks..than most of the dems!!

Oh, yeah. Big time!

I haven't noticed that ANY of the panelists on that show are very conservative...and most seem to take delight in bashing Bush now and then..

I ascribe the Bush bashing as simply a function of the echo chamber effect of those within the beltway or in the media, regardless of their politics. You hear something often enough you begin to internalize it, even if it goes against what you know to be true, simply because you're tired of fighting against the tide.

But the main thing about the structure of this show and of Howie Kurtz' show on CNN is that it's basically journalists defending their own, not honestly taking a critical look at the output of their profession. They certainly don't apply the same critical review the way that they would anyone else. They generally hear the buzz coming from folks like us and then set about defending their friends without giving any contrary voices a chance to respond.

I've sent Roger Ailes and the folks that run the Fox show several messages suggesting a format change. I think they should expand to an hour, with the same panel of journalists, but set them up formally as the defense of their peers. Then give the first 15 minutes to someone like Brent Bozell to pick the topics and show the clips, plus provide his take on it. Let the "professionals" try to defend the premise he sets up for the next 15 minutes (with opportunity for rebuttal). Then give 15 minutes to somebody like David Brock to lay out the left's take on the weeks news and repeat the process. You'd need to alternate the sequence of who goes first to make it fair, and you might rotate the conservative and lefty outside groups given the podium, but it would be a much more interesting show.

There was no reason for him to stop the use of the nuke option in the first place, if he had not, this questioning would be moot.

I do believe both of you are correct, and he will not support the filibuster. I still don't trust him though.

My take exactly on how it would be viewed but McCain would not want his name to the action as he would be tainted with it and also I believe that he supports it anyway, the worry of the poster did not seem to make any sense to me.

I like that format idea. Could you have a future in cable news programming?

I do not trust him on many things but when it come to it purely IMHO because he has aspirations on being the Republican Candidate he normally supports Republican issues not necessarily conservatives one but Republican ones.

He even sometimes comes out in favour of the President against his dem friends and again I feel that is because he wants to win support of the Republican party in the future.

Thanks TG. The site I've been using is the most complete listing I could find. They don't have his name on the list, so that's what I was going by.

Funny how no one in Junk Journalism really understands the ME despite all their pontificating. I guess I should not be suprised because great minds rarely go to J schools.

Hamas got away screaming that everything was lousy for the Palis because of the Jews and the Americans and the corrupt old Fatah. NOW they got NO one to blame when nothing changes. The fundemental problem for the Palis is their culture of violance. Doesn't matter who is in charge, until they change the basic underlying culture they are going to be a stagnent, poverty stricken waste land. Hamas now is going to be responsible for the failure when nothing changes.

I think we should have cut off the $$ to the Pali gov a long time ago. despite who was/is running it.

McCain is like a Tory in a Labour district. You never know what he's going to say or support since he's more interested in staying in power, and not angering his donors, than he is standing up for principals of right versus wrong.

I agree with you, snugs. McCain will support many Republican positions, but not all conservative issues. As strange as that sounds reading it. LOL
