Me too. CO Republicans are in a circular firing squad right now, waiting for the next shot.

Rumor is, more to come on Dan Maes that will further sink his failing campaign. Something was supposed to break yesterday but hasn’t yet.

Current fear is he’s hurting the down ticket.

God bless Sarah Palin. In the political world, she is the last genuine American standing at this point. Well, at least the VERY BEST and the one with REAL GUTS.

I agree with your every word.

God bless and protect her and her precious family.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Axelrod could do is get a suit that fits. And his Hitler style haircut and mustache do not lend to a credible spokesperson.

I think the "Hitler look" is entirely appropriate for the fascist regime he represents.

Regarding the suit, why not complete the look with an authentic Nazi uniform?

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

schieffer DID say, that Obozo is smoking.

[MNJohnnie]

I suspect you are correct.

No matter how often I try to kid myself into believing thee will be a great awakening amount black Americans as to which party is keeping them on the political slave plantation, I have trouble believing in one.

The Dems probably can jettison 0 and still get 90%+ of the black vote in 2012.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

these guys are at the TOP and they can’t afford an image consultant???? Yeesh.

I know I need one, but can’t afford it, ha...what is THEIR excuse?

[OldDeckHand]

This Week was ESPECIALLY bad - remarkably bad, even for Amanpour. She lobbed nothing but the softballs to Goolsbee. She nearly felated the Imam, and then she had some unknown man on who represented "evangelicals" from an organization called the "New Evangelical Partners", which as best I can tell, is a psuedo-Christian cover for a radical left-wing advocacy group that "preaches" things like the Evangelical Climate Initiative.

Then, she pits George Will against a writer for the NY Times (who has a hit piece coming out on the Tea Partiers this week), George Karl and Arriana Huffington. This is balance?

I wish they would ask him how many mosques we denied prior to 9-11-01. How many Korans did we Burn?

I saw this Reza Aslan on last week talking about the proposed Koran burning. Hadn't heard of him before. After watching him today.....wow, he doesn't realize how much he's creating a negative image for muslims. Here's a link to an article in Jihad Watch that analyzes Reza's views on growing "islamophobia" and the Ground Zero mosque. Moderate Muslim spokesman issues veiled threat over Ground Zero mega-mosque opposition and "Islamophobia"

LOL, after reading through his statements from August 23rd with NPR, he uses some of the EXACT SAME phrases that he used this morning....."I can barely control my anger," "What's more disturbing is that anti-Muslim sentiment seems to have gone mainstream." Not only is he a whiner and not very smart; he's not very original.

These "moderate" muslims keep destroying their own image the more they talk. Americans aren't stupid.

[bray]

Yep, this is the same formula the use for everything from Oil to lumber to shut down industries and cripple America. This allows them to enslave US to their Soviet style Gummit. We have to fight it.

There’s a reason that television is called ‘programming’.

Palin is as managed as Obama.

[Seattle Conservative]

“16.Boehner is responsible for holding up tax cuts for 98% of the country ignoring once again that they are in control but can’t pass their own legislation since their own side does not want to fall on any more swords. And of course DNC Dave never calls Axel on it.”

How can Boehner and the Pubblies hold up tax cut, when apparently a bill has not yet been written re same?

“Nobody is holding the middle class tax-cuts hostage. Neither the Obama administration nor the Democrats in Congress have presented any bill at this time that addresses the Bush tax-cuts. It is hard to hold hostage a bill that does not exist...”

Here are some other items from the article that dispute some of Obama’s talking points in the speech he gave at the Community college in Ohio this last week (you know the one where they had to round up about 75 students on campus to fill the seats):

“There are few points where the attacks on Mr. Boehner fall flat.

The House Republicans Leader adopted a personal “no earmarks” policy upon taking office in 1991 that he maintains to this day. Something that President Obama cannot say about himself after signing into law thousands of earmarks...

More than 100 new boards, commissions, and bureaucracies come courtesy of ObamaCare. Somehow we have to believe that this government explosion will save us health care costs. It is no wonder republicans and the public say ‘No’...

Boehner and the republicans opposed the Stimulus not because of the tiny fraction that was addressing infrastructure, but because of the billions in union, academia and states bailouts loaded in it. It is not the federal government job to pay for the teachers and firefighters – they are supposed to be paid by the States. If a university wants to go to Africa and take pictures of ants they better find private donations for the trip. Asking the tax-payers to fund ants on other continents is crazy.”

Most of Hilary's supporters voted for O....they are really seeing how they were duped. But Hilary is as bad as O, they just don't get that yet. I hope that when, and if, the republicans gain control, they can provide better leadership and follow the courage that Crist has displayed.

[Son House]

Cheap energy is what makes America a powerhouse

I hope your on my election ballot

[MNJohnnie]

they can provide better leadership and follow the courage that Crist has displayed.

You mean Criste Gov of NJ right?

[Seattle Conservative]

“Current fear is he’s hurting the down ticket.”

That’s too bad as it looked like the R’s might be able to pick up a few seats.

Does Tancredo have any chance at all?

[MNJohnnie]

Palin is as managed as Obama.

And your proof for that is what? You do know lying is still a sin.

[mtnwmn]

Correct:o)

[Girlene]

He did so much to ‘bring us together’, didn’t he! “Wow” is right. He really lifted some veils on how (some) “mainstream” muslims feel.

Yes, he [Reza Aslan] did. Whoops, should have pinged you to post 168, also.

[Son House]

I’d guess they are trying to make someone else’s cigarettes look more mainstream

[bray]

I’m w/the NYT, I don’t want Boehner as the House Leader. I would rather have Michelle Bachmann. Smoker and golfer, perhaps we can have a match between him and obozo, anybody know their handicaps?

Pray for America
