246 in the House and 56 in the Senate. Tim arguing the majority of legislators in Congress disagree with the Pres. So..? Who says 306 people can't be dead wrong...?
what is a snowflake?
thank God Tony took this job...what a patriot!
He is handling Timmy with such ease...gosh is he a professional! Its as if they let a race horse out of the gate..Tony is soooo ready!
The Administration (as evidenced by Tony this morning) is going to work hard to protect the funding for the troops. Tony is doing a great job. He's pointing out just what the dangers are in letting Iraq fail.
Tony says the debate on funding will happen and that it's a debate about whether to fund something that's just beginning.
He reports that fact like it's a shocking development. Stop the presses...Congress and the President don't agree!
It's easy for them to call for that when they know it won't happen anyways.
We used to have a live thread when Tony had his radio show. It was a group that just seemed to get along pretty well for the most part and Tony participated in the thread. Someone came up with the term "SnowFlakes".
FOX disgusted me when they had on the "new" Democrat, Heath Schuler (replete with his football action images), to fawn over. This "new" Democrat (and every one of the rest of this "new" breed) just voted "Aye!" - alongside Pelosi and the rest of the George Soros (aka mainstream) Democrats - for an American, er, George Bush defeat in Iraq.
...the "new" Democrat Party, same as the "old" Democrat Party...
For the sake of Truth In Advertising, they should rename themselves the Communist Party.
I have never seen such a smooth, elegant and powerful Beeetch Slap as Tony is doing with Potatoehead.!
And of course Chris missed the obvious question for Levin:
"Senator, you said you're seeking 'success' in Iraq. How do you define 'success'?"
Anita, Anita, Anita....
WHY, tell me why, WHY doesn't the PRESIDENT say this?
He's got the Oval Office! He's got the Bully Pulpit!
He sits and let BAD generalizations become the accepted truth.
Every time I hear some pundit or another say...."it was a mistake to go to Iraq"...I dream of a President with enough courage to look the American public in the eye and say...."Whenever you hear the lame expression "mistake to go to Iraq"...please remember a nice fellow-Saddam Hussein. Who is dead now, hung by his own people".
On and on. He let that weapons of mass destruction go on by, he let this resolution go on when he should have been all over the place in front of the American people, talking about the danger of defeat, telling the soccer moms just what was going on.
Sorry. This President lost this war for us just as much as any other thing you can name.
I've learned that American CAN be defeated and one of the ways to defeat this country is to have a President who doesn't defend either himself or the actions he takes on behalf of the country. I'm very bitter about it as I truly believe that Bush could easily change the dynamic of the nasty political dialogue in this country. So far as I am concerned, HE is as guilty as any Democrat.
I end by throwing in that even that silly Wilson/Plame/Russert thing should have been stopped before it began. All the president had to do, seems to me, is point out early on to the American people that NO crime was done, no LAW was broken, that he's stopping Fitzgerald to save American taxpayer dollars.
I think Bush and the pubs in the House of Lords cost us this war as I really think we're going to lose this thing.
All because of a total lack of communication and honesty with the American people. Who really DO understand such as defeat and victory and really would align seriously behind our president, I really believe this. But Bush sat by and let it happen. He's got the right ideas but has no idea how to align the force behind him.
Is TOny the first guest, I stay away from Fat Dim as much as possible because I simply can't stand him. But it sounds too good to miss.
Hi, FOXY. Timmy is being a bit more careful with Tony than he usually is with Admin people.
Bringing up the apparently contradictory statement of Gen. Pace and says he basically overruled the defense analyst. Now Tim says Tony overruled Pace.
Tony is ready for this, as we all would expect him to be.
I am very sorry, but this is a pic of Donald Trump's dog.
