Listening to TW, you’d think the other candidates might as well just get out of the way, because MCCain is back.

1. Tancredo kicked his but in the last debate.

2. McCain is not liked within the party and certainly can’t be trusted.

He belongs in the “Snowballschanceinhell Party”

Glad to see you tx!

aaaaah geeez,

Senator Mel AMNESTY Martinez is on c-span.

He is STILL pushing the amnesty proposal.

spin points:

out of shadows...
regularize them...
no choice ...

This is just a pannel of AMNESTY supporters vs AMNESTY supporters.

It’s been made before, but I’ll make this point again: Rush has at least five times the listenership as most of these shows have viewers. Heck, I think I posted here a few weeks a whole list of talk hosts that have higher listener rates, some of whom are hardly what you would consider famous.

These political types are far better served going on the radio than on these TV shows. However, the Democrats don’t have anything quite this powerful on radio, and so this is high-rated compared to, say, Air America. I think a lot of people particularly on our side of the aisle recognize that, hence why we (up until recently) get stuck with libs and RINOs like Leahy, Specter, Biden, McCain, etc...

Learn somethings from the current President - how he organized & rallied the Republicans winning 2 elections against all odds.

Absolutely and history will show this even if he is not portrayed in a favourable light this fact cannot be ignored.

Now saying how TAXPAYERS should be funding ILLEGALS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS!

These are Republicans?!!!! WHAT A JOKE!

I know many are down on Bill these days but he did do an excellent segment slamming Jimmah the other night:

Talking Points Memo & Top Story
The truth police and Jimmy Carter

"In a stunning interview on CNN, former President Carter said all kinds of nutty stuff to Wolf Blitzer, who pretty much just sat there and let Mr. Carter bloviate. But Talking Points has some issues with Jimmy Carter, who said President Clinton 'kept our country safe.' Somehow President Carter and Blitzer must have missed al Qaeda blowing up two of our embassies, attacking the U.S.S. Cole, and gaining enough strength in Afghanistan to kill 3,000 Americans on 9/11. Carter also accused the Bush administration of using torture as defined by 'the international norms.' What are the international norms of torture? Carter never defined them, and Blitzer never asked. The 'Wolf-man' sat there like 'The Mummy.' Jimmy Carter also said that people in the current administration advocate 'using nuclear weapons against Iran.' We can't find one Bush official who ever said using nukes on Iran is justified. In 1979 Iran humiliated President Carter and the United States, and here's Carter saying the U.S.A. has to negotiate with Iran. Negotiate, sir? I believe you tried that 28 years ago, and I believe you failed. Somebody tell Wolf Blitzer. President Carter is entitled to his opinion, but history is history. He has no right to distort it, president or not. CNN has lots of problems, and they now have another one."

The Factor welcomed historian Richard Shenkman, who concurred that Jimmy Carter is trying to re-write history. "He's an ex-president who had a failed policy with Iran," Shenkman said. "An argument has been made by some historians that there is a definite line between the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the events of 9/11. Carter had a paralyzed government and was not a strong leader." The Factor contended that we are still paying a price for Carter's inaction. "The kind of weakness he showed with Iran lit the fuse for the Islamist terrorist movement. We've invited President Carter on this program for 11 years, but he won't come on."

Oh my goodness how pathetic they are obviously trying to show how hip and with it they are - traditional white shirts out.

Actually IMHO there is nothing better than a well ironed crisp white shirt with a stunning blue tie - no reds here for this Conservative.

I think the Republican Party should start a campaign to regain its true blue colour and give the red communist colour back to the dems.

Great comments in Post #215!

[jmyrlefuller]

I compare O’Reilly to McCain:

When he’s right, he’s right. When he’s wrong, he’s dead wrong. You never know which side of him you’re going to get on any particular issue.

[tarheelswamprat]

Thanks, snugs, you made my day!

About the only thing that could top that would be the opportunity to enjoy one of those scrumptious-looking meals you keep posting pics of... /grin

Gov Napolitano is asking for a “virtual wall” (so illegals can still come)

Ongoing comitment to enforce vs a physical wall that does not sleep.

This is moderated by a PBS stoog.

It is all BIG GOVERNMENT problem solving.

There is a Priest and two republicans, and one democrat and ALL OF THEM ARE PUSHING AMNESTY.

(some girl saying sob story about father being deported and excluded from return. NOTE: THAT IS FOR COMMITTING A FELONY. This girl’s father is a felon with that preclusion. Now pushing the “family reunification” BS about divided families. NOTE ON NOTE: A us citizen can petition for the waiver of the exclusion! she is giving a TOTAL BS anaecdote.)

[jmyrlefuller]

I couldn’t have put it better myself.

Never surrender, and don’t let them do it, either.

Are they US cable figures or worldwide cable figures?

To kennel our cats and dogs we have to prove they have had their yearly injections which includes distemper but it does not include rabies.

Thanks for posting this Star—Rush at his finest hour,supporting the troops and destroying Dems in the process, just doesn’t get any better.

Wonderful cartoon

[Phsstpok]

Your comment about a Sunday show actually allowing a Republican guest to have the rebuttal spot did not prove to be what happened. On FNS Brit interviewed Boehner, and ended by saying “and now the view from the other side of the isle” (major paraphrase)

Yeah, that show is just wrapping up here and I saw that.  I was disappointed that Brit didn't call Hoyer on more of his outright lies.  It's clear that the Dhimmicrats are intent on letting the program end rather than compromising with the White House.  I'm betting they'll filibuster or simply outright defeat either the next 90 day temporary continuation or the one after that. 

I was also flabergasted when the Fox voice over in the break between Boehner and Hoyer stated "Fox News Sunday, being brought to you by Citgo" and then they segued into a Citgo ad. 

Citgo. 

Hugo Chavez' Citgo.

Sheesh!
