On the soon-to-be canceled ‘It’s the Economy’ program on MSNBC on Thursday, co-host Contessa Brewer grilled Republican New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg on his calls to reduce out-of-control government spending: “Which programs are you willing to cut? Are you willing to tell schools, no money for you?”
Gregg shot back: “What an absurd statement to make. And what a dishonest statement to make.”
Gregg called out Brewer for her unfair framing of the issue: “...nobody’s saying no money for schools....On it’s face you’re being fundamentally dishonest when you make that type of statement.”
He went to explain the kinds of budget cuts he would make: “I would freeze discretionary spending, a real freeze, not a – not a freeze plus inflation. I would eliminate the T.A.R.P. money....I would end the stimulus spending effective in June of this year, if not sooner....reform our entitlement programs....I’ve made very specific proposals and I’m willing to stand by them.”
Gregg was far from finished, he described the big government mentality shared by the Obama administration and the liberal media: “The problem is that this administration’s view of governance is that economic prosperity is created by growing the government dramatically. And then it gets misrepresented by people like yourself who say they’re going to – that if you do any of this stuff you’re going to end up not funding education.”

See posts 16 & 17, please (THANK YOU, Nickname!).
Bingo- You made the point I would have made! Same goes for the MORON-stream Media insisting tax cuts hurt the economy - like poor little George Stephanopolis. A true Conservative would nail him, but it never happens....maybe the worm is turning. Hope so.
CONTESSA BREWER...........well......
“MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: “A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns.” Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black. [7]” Wikipedia...
she is pretty and that’s all........
He’s getting power from the people.
It just sounded good the way he slammed her. He could have really made her flip her wig if he had said he would want to eliminate the Dept of Liberal Education but that one was pretty good anyway.
Thank you - took the words out of my mouth!
The content of his answer is not in my opinion, correct. However, that he stopped the liar in her tracks, corrected to manipulated question and answered it on his terms is commendable. When we get enough credibility on that front then we can talk to mr and mrs middle america about the garbage they have been fed as God’s word.
every which way but sunday... let her rest a little, then comes monday...
Who’dathunk Contessa’s middle name rhymes with “stunt”?
I gotta ask.. “You Gotta Let It Out Captain”..
Jaime Brockett? “I ain’t gonna make rope no more”.
LOL...yep, that's Jamie Brockett singing the true story about what actually happened w/ the USS Titanic! :-)
Maybe he figures he can say what he wants now and let the chips fall where they may.
We played that on our FM station in the early 70’s. We went through a lot of rope back then. :)
Gotta dig into my vinyl and find that. Alas the only rope I have these days is nylon and it melts...
I’m not as cmptr literate as I’d like to be, but I would love to put that song on my Profile page if I could...along w/ many other songs. :-)
Call them out, over and over again. Americans who love this country are with you and behind you. Fight back.
Where is it written that schools get federal funding? Do the potholes on city streets also get federal money?
I will never forget Imus asking her about the policy and facts behind her “reporting” and she had no clue.
About a 128 meg file at 12min length if I remember correctly. Something to offend most everyone too! It would be a hit.
Her name is Contessa? Sheeesh!!! What a Eurotrash name.
