I don’t mind the adoration for Ronald Reagan, he was a great President and his ideas are timeless. Michael Reagan is best at representing his father now.
President Reagan loved Nancy, but she either doesn’t remember or the absence of being the target for many years that these left-wingers who now kind of admire her or use her conveniently, said the same thing about her and her husband that they are saying about any Conservative now.
If I am thinking about running I would politely decline for now since I have not made the committment to run. I think Hewitt is also correct, in 2008 the Democrats would not have a Fox News Debate and eventually would not debate on CNN if Lou Dobbs or any moderator that wasn’t a leftist were not suitable for them.
Conservatives should not debate on MSLSD, they aren’t interested in debates, they are interested in destroying the Republican field and promoting the RINO’s to divide the party.
But can someone explain to me the problem with having the debate at the Reagan Library? I don't see how the two issues are connected, or what Hewitt is getting at with respect to Nancy Regan. It seems you could obviously have a conservative dream team panel, but still have it at the Reagan Library. What gives?
It’s a debate. When have they actually been allowed to debate what matters? They have become boring and predictable just like the nightly MSM news. (All left wing all the time.)
We have Parties ... Tea Parties, no debate necessary, SH Politicians just need to do what Hillary said she wanted to do “LISTEN”
I think we just shouted pretty loud, we can Shout even louder 2012...
I’m tired of Politicians PERIOD ... they better hear us soon or they better get out of the way ... by 2014 we may be able to retire the Majority of “Career Politicians” and one of the first cuts is their RETIREMENT! (I actually have a four or five page Rant in my head, I’ll share it later)
TT
I could be wrong...
Maybe the Reagan Library is working with Politico and NBC to schedule the debate?
It sounds like that is what Hewitt is describing here.
My rant is very short:
SACK DC.
I suspect that Nancy Reagan already rejected that idea, or Hewitt would not have openly criticized her.
Today we have Career Politicians combined with MSM, Together they become a
“SELF LICKING ICE CREAM CONE”
(Don’t have any idea why Laz has to be pinged, just thought I would... maybe he could supply a dash of levity to such a horrible recipe of our current reality)
TT
Don't want to get into a Hannity war, but I truly believe he is a conservative and doesn't get enough credit for the work he does (second largest audience in talk radio).
If you wanted brutal conservative honesty, Mark Levin would be the man. No liberal crap gets by him.
Don’t know if it’s possible but a single short little Bill that simply says “What applies to Us applies to You”
No Perks Bill and We Prosecute all Politician /Lobbyist relationships (Repeal... “WE ASK THEY DON’T TELL”)
TT
“No, how about some unknown people who understand the Constitution asking hardcore questions? Why does it have to be celebrities? “
I want a FReeper debate :)
In return, Rush moderates the inevitable Dem debate that ensues when Obama is challenged in 2012, along with a panel including Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and/or Laura Ingraham or Ann Coulter. Maybe Greg Gutfeld. Or any combination thereof.
No ground rules.
I can dream can't I? ;)
TT that self licking cone is a first for me. Almost blew my Dewars out my nose.
Didn’t mean to give impression that I didn’t think Hannity isn’t a major force for our side. And he does do many good things - more than what is know, I bet.
I’m not impressed with the way he interviews liberals - it just seems he’s more concerned with wanting to be liked more than going for the juggler.;)
IMO, he’s swayed by what’s expected of him or what others may think of him. So with this, he would think he’d have to be hard for ‘show’. Again, IMO. Besides I’m not sure where his allegiance is - to the rino’s or conservatives. I haven’t listened to him in years - my schedule changed.
In fact, let’s have Rush, Hannity, MedVed, Coulter moderate the Democratic debates.
Fair’s fair!
I’d take Rush or Levin, but I’d have to change the channel everytime hannity called everyone a great American and started throwing a football around.
We need a constitutional amendment that requires the House of Representatives and the Senate to be moved every two years. At least part of the reason the capitol was located in D.C. was because it was a swamp and it was thought that the lawmakers wouldn't want to de camp there year round. With legislators meeting part-time, it was correctly thought that this would result in less federal mischief.
Additionally, our founders wisely believed that the principle of divided gov't also included preventing the capitol city from becoming a power unto itself.
As for examples of what happened when a nation's most populous and wealthy city also became its capitol, the founder had only to look to Europe. Inevitably, locating the capitol in London or Paris or Rome led to an unhealthy concentration of wealth and political power in the hands of those who controlled the capitol. This pattern has been repeated in most countries with the notable exception of the United States.
But now we see Washington D.C. becoming a metropolis until itself with 7 of the 10 most wealthy counties in the United States all being located around Washington D.C. So I say the time has come to neuter Washington D.C. and to start rotating the capitol among the fair states of this land. Do it by lottery or do it by vote, but however it is done, do it quickly before Washington D.C. devours the nation it is supposed to serve.
Medved would not be able to hide his anti-Palin, anti-conservative bias.
Yeah, something is funny, Hewitt is no rebel, he is a Mitt Romney worshiper who actually wrote a book promoting Mitt Romney to Christians.
