The Talk Shows
Sunday, October 22nd, 2006
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Sens. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., John Warner, R-Va., Joe Biden, D-Del., and Carl Levin, D-Mich.; business mogul Richard Branson.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C.

LATE EDITION (CNN) : Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.; Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas; former Secretary of State Alexander Haig; former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Obama tried to talk himself out of it, but never can imho. We see his true colors. Power v. doing the right thing.
Did you ever notice that both Branson and Blair have that same forced smile that looks more like a grimace?
"Ala 'walking-coma' Lugar?"
Sending Lugar is like sending a popcorn fart to a nuclear war!
ROFLOL! That's great!
I think the Libs will cynically USE Obama. I think they'll run him when they know he CAN'T win, then blame and shame "racist" Republicans {Conservatives} for a generation.
The "why Obama lost" myth will parallel the Prop. 187 {CA} myth.
Obama will serve their cause much more as a political sacrificial lamb than as a President.
I can see the future now.
Hillary and Alabama will have a virtual love fest campaigning against one another for several months and then Alabama will give up or lose and Hillary will so graciously invite him to be her VP(next in line to be sacrificed)and he will obliging do what he is told like a good old DNC drone.
I am sick of the DBM propaganda on Iraq.
President Bush addressed this nation on several occasions with a MULTITUDE of reasons for going into Iraq. 12 "strong" written memos from the UN wasn't very exciting for the media. Spreading Democracy and freedom isn't anything the media wants to aid in. But the DBM couldn't get enough of the Weapons of Mass Destruction talk. They CLUNG to this ONE piece, and had every expert they could find, come talk about it. The DBM were the ones driven by tragedy doomsday panic driven ratings.
It wasn't BUSH running around talking about the WMD non-stop. It was the media bringing total focus to this ONE point- over and over. Now- we haven't found the BIG STASH of WMD that would make for "great TV." So they ignore every other piece of evidence found about the WMD and try and blame BUSH for their drum beat of scare tactics that lead us into this "war for oil."
It accomplishes two things for them. It diverts attention from the fact that it was THEM who overplayed this point and engaged in "fear mongering" for ratings. And it hurts Bush.
Now it is a "quagmire" and Bush lied, tra, la, la, la, la.....
This is now quagmire. This is a successful operation. This is not a "civil war." It is radical terrorists fighting to create another terror state. They come from ALL over- Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, etc....The terrorists are masters of propaganda- they have been doing it for years. They know how to abuse our media- and of course our DBM are eager to aid them.
This War in Iraq has been going on for just over 3 years. Who ever heard of a 3 year war with less than 3,000 dead?
Then the media tries to take the sectarian wars between these religious groups that has been going on for YEARS- and paint it as if it is because of the US being there?
These groups were killing each other before we were ever "discovered." We don't cause the violence. It is the HATE and VIOLENT Preaching IMAMS and THUG DICTATORS that have created this culture of violence, and we can't expect the US to come in and change this culture overnight.
In fact- the TRUTH is that if we left- the violence would get WORSE! We are the ones stifling the violence. We are the ones bringing hope and a different prism of how to deal with differences other than beheadings and terror.
We have brought them a whole new world- where dictators no longer reign. You don't wipe out 30 years of a death culture, or thousands of years of theocracy and religious mental slavery with a few discussions. When we won in WWII we were dealing with countries that had only been recently invaded and taken over with fascism.
Furthermore- MOST of the Iraqi people GET IT. They are participating in elections, even if it means walking over dead bodies. They are learning about a government with split power not full dictatorship. They are learning about capitalism, they are learning about alternatives to state-run media. They are being given an opportunity to learn things in school, other than Saddam is a god- and America is satan.
Is it perfect? NO- but it is an AWE INSPIRING transition for the world to see- and this is what scares the hell out of the terrorists, and what the media can never allow to be seen- because Bush would get credit, and they would be exposed for the political hacks that they are.
This is no Vietnam, and the only way they can save face for themselves on the claim that it is- is to keep trying to get the American people to lose heart and determination so that we leave- and then thousands are murdered and slaughtered just as what happened in Vietnam. They cannot afford for us to win this war.
Their egos are so precious- they will keep marching to their death - knowing that it is our destruction that will bring them a media blitz of patting themselves on the back for their power to rule over foreign policy and wars.
As they scramble to be the best propaganda tool for the terrorists, they proclaim integrity and "courage" to bring the American people the "truth."
Well- if they want to bring people the truth- they can start airing films of aborted babies right after the films the terrorists produce for them.
Bottom Line- Staying the Course- is their worst nightmare- because the "course" is working. Less than three thousand dead in over 3 years is a TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. This is WAR- not tidly winks (ZERO deaths)- or "Birth Control" (millions of deaths).
I REFUSE to allow the media or Satan trapse around this country UNCHALLENGED!
I'm voting straight Republican and encouraging eveyone I know to do the same. Why? The Democrats just stink, they always have and they always will. I'm watching a bunch of Democrats on ABC on a Sunday show run by a Democrat who was partners with James Carville. They are doing everything they can to make it look like all the Republicans have all of a sudden decided not to vote or have become Democrats. The mainstream media is once again attempting to manipuate elections. Rangel, Waxman, Conyers, Lantos, Dingell in charge in Congress? YUCK!!!
It might be fun to do, but as I said I will wait until after the election...too many important things going on now.
I do see people muttering about not voting, but that's only anecdotal and no one I'm seeing is talking about switching sides.
Agreed. Only a few are cut and run Conservatives.
However, answering no when a pollster asks if you're a Republican doesn't mean a vote goes to a Dim. That's the leap the pollsters take.
I believe that many people are disappointed with the Republicans and one way to protest is to not self identify with the Party.
Think the Drive Bys are correct on this one.
Just a note. In CO, Republican women groups are very influential and effective in helping candidates win. They can be a great resource for you. Good luck!
Spitboy drools over oBama to prove he's not racist. As a matter of fact he likes Blacks! He just hates Uncle Toms!
Pray for W and The Election
Boy oh boy did the dems score big with his 'free' campaign ad played on national TV. Didn't he recently say he could no longer support the party that has abandoned him or were those statements reserved for the limited MSNBC viewers?
Not gonna happen P.
IIRC, there are 2 classes of common stock for the Times, one of which has the majority voting rights and is owned by guess which family.
Unless there's a 'civil war' within the Sulzberger family for Pinch pissing away the family's fortunes, things will unfortunately stay the same, except that the circulation at the gray lady will fall below that of New York's Greek language daily paper.
Right. And Obama "writes" his books like Arthur Schlesinger (oops) JFK "wrote" profiles in courage.
ROFLLL!!!
Isn't there a nephew or something that could take over and at least run the paper like a money-making proposition?
AMEN SNUGS!
AMEN!!
Absolutely they grin as us Brits would say like Cheshire cats.
Another describtion would be second hand car salesman
