Watching Chrissy during the GOP debate illustrated once again, the GOP gets the tough pounding while Hillary gets the cake walk.
Chris pounded the GOP candidates re: whether or not the president can use force, constitutionally, without Congressional approval. He refered to some apparent legislation by Hillary that requires the president to get Congressional approval before striking Iran.
In light of Bill Clinton's past, how can this be a serious question framed within the Hillary context, and why did he hound the GOP so much on it but not call Hillary on her hypocrisy. Someone tell me when Clinton got Congressional approval to bomb Iraq in 1998 (3 days after the Monica story broke).
Chris also asked whether they would take action even if Congress denied authority, which is precisely what Clinton did in Kosovo. How long will this charade continue where the GOP is pounded for being willing to act in the threat of danger in light of recent history where a president acted in light of no imminent danger to the US (Kosovo) and against a country we're now supposed to believe was no threat to us at all and had no weapons?
I can see the dems and their media enablers are going to try to play the Goldwater Daisy meme by painting the GOP as wild press the button types meanwhile, history has shown a) Clinton bombed a country w/o Congressional approval and b) he did so when there was no threat whatsoever to the US and in the face of explicity Congressional denial of authority. Clinton had the US engaged in more conflicts than Bush. Bush got Congressional authorization, unlike Bill, from people now claiming it was a sham and yet they claim they have the judgment to lead when it was their judgment in part that lead us to Iraq.
The madness needs to end.
The MSM will continue to paint patriotic America as EVIL, and will let the left skate, no matter what they do to anyone, or say about anyone. That is why America (the thinking, caring half of it) should boycott ANY newspaper but the WSJ.
The MSM ratings are in the tank, and continuing down. Let these fools live with their choice of supporting the “dark side of the force”.
Until all the Republicans are dead, and Sharia Law is the law of the land.
Hardball? Yeah right...
YELLOW-BELLIED BLOWHARD
What makes you think that any of the lame stream media will ever ask her highness anything but puff questions? No one dare ask her any question with substance. She’s the queen and the press are her subjects. The Repubs had better stop bickering and get a good candidate to go up against her. Seems to me they are all afraid to critize her. Chrissy is a shill for her and all things liberal.
“why did he hound the GOP so much on it but not call Hillary on her hypocrisy”
Chris likes Communists with fat legs.
Well, maybe the GOP candidates should just come out and stand up for themselves. I’m sick and tired of all the whining about them and how unfarily they are being treated. Well, if they are being treated unfairly why do they stand there and take it????? Fight back dammit or step aside. I’m tired of it all.

If they can’t stand up for themselves how in the hell do they plan to stand up to the country when they can’t stand up to wimps like matthews. I’m tired of it all.
The GOP allows this madness when they allow liberals to moderate their debates. When are they going to stand their ground and demand conservative moderators? Until they do I will not watch the debates.
Someone should’ve turned it around on Chris..
“Chris, I realize Hillary’s your gal and all, but that’s just another example of a) her hypocrisy (cite Bill’s actions) and b) why she can’t lead this country.
Matthews is a Democrat politico. That was his former career, and he hasn’t changed any, even though he supposedly wears a news hat. Anyone how doesn’t know that fact and grasp the significance of it is uninformed.
You got that right.
