The meeting is not closed door. Cameras are allowed. Reporters are not. I assume the video will be viewable.

See 132. I am not just talking about just this event, but all events and meetings involving elected officials. What about audio?

Outside of national security issues, why should the American public not know *exactly* what is being said in regards to any meeting involving elected officials? If national security is not the issue, then all meetings should be public.

He was apologizing to Whoopi on The View after she asked him if, when he became president, if his policies would reinstitute slavery.

That was a racist question from Whoopi to McCain. When was the last time she was ever even close to slavery? I doubt that she even knew anyone who was a slave (UNLESS SHE HAS SOME WORKING FOR HER NOW)!

If they can’t mainpulate her words, guess they’ll have to now resort to photoshopping. LOL

This is amusing.

“Gates’s point is that since he and the Pentagon are not going to tell the media the truth...”

You’re wrong. You are going to tell the truth. One might say “I’ll get back on that,” or “I can’t discuss” but to not tell the truth and to include all spokesmen in the Pentagon is fallacious. That town leaks like a friggin’ seive. The truth will find you out and once it does, if you lie any credibility with the press is shot. Remember, the axiom is “It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup.”

Besides, those people WANT the story accuratly told.

Oye.

and Gates makes this point by saying they are not the enemy.

“...start by ripping all the doors off the offices of the Hussein “Slime Machine?”

The issue for discussion was whether on not it was a wise move to bar the press from her remarks.
There are so many others who are more capable and who have the forum to do so.
Mongo just pawn in game of life.

I'll take that as a "No."

Bill Clinton was on the view and made the statement McCain is the only one that can win. After he said it, one of the hens (Whoopi I think) said, you mean only republican that can win, Bill says uh, yeah right or something like that. It was so funny...

Oh, and Whoopi’s comment about slavery was just plain stupid.

Gates is wrong and Paling is right?

Absolutely. By virtue of the fact that he has been a DC insider his entire career and is a globalist POS member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the defacto enemy of all sovereign states and of civil liberties in a limited Constitutional Republic. If his lips are moving, he's lying.

I'd really prefer to vote for somebody other than McCain, but since he picked Sara, by the grace of GOD, I'll fight for his election sice I'm really looking at HER election in the future. She is new face of the Reagan conservatives. Through her we could retake the nation before it's too late. Maybe. God willing.

That’s exactly what they want to, and they are whining because it’s not allowed.

You are right, it’s not a real issue. It’s standard procedure. Just as it’s standard to use the same stump speech for awhile before introducing a new one. But lacking legitimate complaints that can be made against her, they make stuff up and conveniently do not inform the public there’s nothing unusual about it.

I’m amused at the whining at this point.

However, I do believe, HE will be leaving the rest up to us. So far, so good!

Your post made me laugh. It reminds me of putting shoes on a toddler and then them pushing your hands away because they can "do it" themselves. I think we ought to keep praying :')

I did not say stop praying, I would never say such a thing. But, the Lord does help those who help themselves.

If YOU put shoes on a toddler then push him away to do it on his own, that is YOUR issue, not mine.

I don’t know who, if anyone, is televising it. I’m working on a number of deals; I get a few minutes to click over to FR from time to time, but don’t have the time for TV.

I also heard he’s a Mason, part of the Bildeburgers, the Carlyle Group, spoken to European Union, United Nations, World Bank, works near the World Bank and while at CIA ran Odessa.

They are not reporters! I believe it is disrespectful to real reporters to call these hacks reporters.
