Have any of the shows talked about W going to the ME?
Duncan Hunter went through a period a couple of years ago when he was on the Sunday Morning talk shows more than other Republican or so it seemed but since he indicated he would run for President the invites have dried up. I think the MSM have ensured that he did not get the necessary traction he needed early on and now it is too late.
Go away. Come back when your drugs wear off.
no..they don’t care and it probably will not be wildly reported. Saw it on Fox this morning (briefly) I assume you know about the threats by AQ on PB’s life this morning?
I don’t care what excuse they give for excluding him ... just exclude him, he is an irritating distraction.
If that happens, the Democrats are going to have all summer to pick the Republican Party apart. Without a nominee until the convention in September, the nominee will turn this into a referendum on a third Bush term, a referendum that, quite frankly, the Republicans would lose.
Obama would most benefit if this were a brokered convention. His vague but optimistic image will win over voters unless he is challenged, and there won’t be anyone there to challenge his positions (or lack thereof) because the Republican nominees are still angling for delegate votes.
You know in MSM’s world, W don’t exist. He is a lame duck.
Oh, my, the Huckster has spent time with high military experts who all agree that you don’t get true information with waterboarding and you harm the “torturer.”
Bunk.
I heard what he said and for all intents and purposes, it went right to the heart of what principled conservatism is all about. Myth Romney will change his positions if he thinks its what the people want. Change for the sake of change. That is political expediency carried to the extreme. As a politician, Romney is not a principled individual. Period. And he is no conservative either.
opps..widely...but it probably will be ‘wildly’ reported if at all...lol
FRed would be one of the very few reasons I would watch bor.
“Timmy can’t believe that McCain could be so cruel as to deport illegals who have children here.”
What’s next? Timmy drags in a little girl (a pretty one) in a wheelchair orphaned by the heartless Republicans who sent her folks away?
Thanks for the clarification
Fred - the unperson. That is scarily true, even in situations where one would think that he would almost HAVE to be mentioned, they avoid it.
Why in the world people here would stand and shout about the liberal bias in the media and then breathlessly point to liberal polls that show a liberal winning in Nov is completely baffling to me..
Edwards does not scare me all that much. He’s a hard-line socialist and as much as the media doesn’t like to admit it, this country does not want universal health care as much as they say, especially at the price tag that it would cost.
Edwards would turn this into a solidly issues-based campaign, one the Republicans could win easily.
Notwithstanding your strong feelings about Romney, you said he said something that he did not say.
You are certainly welcome to your opinion, but it is not appropriate to misstate what was said.
McCain is acting like Harry Reid on the Senate floor
I think a brokered convention is quite possible. For the Pubbies to haul out another Bush—all the more without his having campaigned!—would signal both idiocy and all the more proof that the Bush family’s influence on the party must be deflated (just as the Dems are daring to do with the Clinton’s now).
What’s important I think is the Thompson has low negatives, and with the other guys doing the dirty fighting they should stay low up until the convention. And, if he can bring a reasonable # of delegates to the party himself, it will look as if he has earned it if he becomes the consensus candidate.
