The Talk Shows
January 8th, 2012
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): 2012 GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul; Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, head of the Democratic National Committee; Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Republican presidential debate from New Hampshire.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
THIS WEEK (ABC): David Axelrod, top political adviser to President Barack Obama's re-election campaign; former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): 2012 GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman; House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
Yes, the candidates that really want to win should be weaving in the reasons to question Obama’s judgement and the lack of it in many instances and examples. Like that comment ‘profits, now is not the time for that’, I’m guessing now that Obama is bragging about 200,000 jobs, he’s given his permission for companies to profit so they can hire workers?
If the GOP candidates were smarter, they would band together on this one cause — debates.
They would demand fair questions and different rules.
They would demand that every candidate get equal time.
Maybe it’s perception, as I haven’t timed it, but it seemed like Romney and the nut job got the most time, while Perry was almost totally ignored and Newt didn’t fare much better.
In reality, after what Democrats have done legislatively, including Pelosi and all her ‘jobs, jobs, jobs’ bills, the 200,000 jobs is a very dismal performance.
Be kind...don’t insult the (animal) rat.
Just wait till Occupy Wall Street crowd find out companies may be able to profit again...
Be kind...don’t insult the (animal) rat.
Be kind...don’t insult the (animal) rat.
Be kind...don’t insult the (animal) rat.
Be kind...don’t insult the (animal) rat.
Butting in... I think it’s possible.
IF the Democrats lose the White House and the US Senate, it is quite possible. Also, more so if there’s another huge win by Republicans in November.
Paul Ryan has a Democrat cosponsor his revised economic plan and I bet there would be numerous Democrats who would realize they cannot go against their constituents as they have done under Pelosi and Reid.
As time goes on, and more conservative tea party supported candidates win, the whole concept of lower taxes and less government control will move both congress and the country to the right.
Most sickening is it not?
LLS
Actually, I’d say Newt won that round. Gingrich was able to get ROmney to react then sarcastically reply that he “Hoped” the attack ad that he didn’t produce was accurate, but hey, he didn’t have anything to do with it. IOW, you wanta play tough, Mitt? Game on. (a little Santorum lingo, there :-))
Newt’s take on the EPA earlier in the debate was excellent. Brought up the sheer stupidity of some of their out of control powers and rulings that hurt our economy. i.e. Dust regulations for farmers.
Yep, I wish Perry would have got in sooner without the anticipation, and he could had been perceived as a stronger candidate. I like that he talks like W. Bush and it would make Democrat supporters more nuts. The media got their couple of stumbles, early on, on Perry and they will continue to use it to try to over-ride any substance he brings on.
well I went to mass and sang with the choir.
It was awful.
Today we celebrate the Three Kings event and the choir sang a song to that effect, one we’d sang at the various Christmas venues over the holidays...”We Three Kings of Orient Are...” It’s kind of a play on the traditional hymn.
I don’t especially like it and I really didn’t like that African Noel, but I digress.
This one lady, beautiful voice, says she’s an alto but she can reach way high....doesn’t have a personality to match her voice....but I digress....she wasn’t there this morn.
Now this Three King song is weird in that it is the sopranos who sing the harmony and the altos carry the melody. I don’t know why this is but the sopranos had one helluva time learning the harmony and THIS alto had an awful time reaching a real high note in the melody. We begged the choir director to let us change the parts but the arranger is evidently a cruel person who likes to torture. So we hadda sing it as written and in due course, we kinda learned it.
Except I never could reach that real high note because the lady with awful personality but beautiful voice always came in to save the day and the sopranos got a clue and actually took the piece home to practice the harmony.
The beautiful voice lady wasn’t there today but two other altos were besides me. One of those altos could reach that godawful note but she had been absent during most of the Christmas practice season and really didn’t know the parts very well.
So we sang the song and a)only ONE alto came in when supposed, as the altos had the TOP line and the one alto didn’t know this, the other just does what everyone else does and ME began the song at the proper time because I knew it. So it was all the men and ME, the only female singing at the right time. The other two altos sang with the sopranos and it made me look like I’d mess up.
Which I didn’t but later on that godawful high note comes along and I, in desperation, tried to reach it. It was a FAIL of epic proportions. The alto who COULD have reached that note didn’t cause she’s still singing down on the lower staff with the sopranos. I squeaked godawful and there I am right in front of the mikes.
So, as with most music pieces, there’s a keyboard interlude and we come in at a certain time as written in the music and as we practiced. For whatever reason a bunch of men came in two measures too early. The conductor shakes her head, ostentatiously, NO, I got deer in the headlights eyes cause now I don’t know what to do.
Somehow, someway, some other wise body managed to salvage the song by beginning the wrongly timed verse as if the bloop had never happened, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and we finished it, God Bless.
It was the awfullest rendition of a highly practiced song I’d ever done since being in the choir now over seven years.
But I’m back and I shall shut up.
Hmmmm... boxers or briefs (?)
To put it bluntly, I think Ron Paul really only draws from the legalize drug crowd, and that will mostly be Democrat votes. Plus most all Republicans supporters now know better then to vote a phoney Ross Perot 3rd Candidate at this point. There are a few on the right out to make a point of getting worse before it gets better, most of us don’t want to go to a Democrat bottom.
That song is called “Three Kings from Persian Lands Afar”, in case anybody knows it.
Just the darn strangest arrangement on the planet.
Why not have the tenors sing soprano, the altos sing bass, the sopranos belt out the tenor, since we’re changing things all around?
:::still fuming:::
Thanks again for the update.
If Gingrich just replied with sarcasm, and didn’t use the L-word again on Romney - that IS backing down.
I can appreciate that, just got a power juicer 4 months ago and almost made my first 24 hour fast, within 2 hours, usually I have just skipped dinner. I support brussel sprouts too, may have to try them in the juicer, they are part of the cabbage family, very good for you, though I am having trouble with some leafy stuff in the juicer, I use a small juicer if I have something leafy.
