Let me say this one more time...
So let me set the scenario....Mumbles McConnell calls up the MTP producers as a result of a quick meeting with fellow senate and house repub leaders.
“I need you to book me on MTP right away because I want to get the Repub legislators’ opinions on gun control out there straightaway.”
You really think the MTP producers are going to say NO to the Repub senate minority leader?
Your defense, a lousy one as you always defend the Beltway crowd, is that NO ONE INVITED THEM!
So okay, maybe the Repubs should have had a meeting, a conference call, something, to shore up their stance. With something between the legs besides air perhaps they would have debated and finally agreed that gun control is a constitutional right and appoint someone to go on the TV shows and state the repub position, forcefully and with vigor.
Someone could write an editorial for the Wall Street Journal, I dunno, maybe Boehner. Or do you think the WSJ too will deny the Repubs voice?
No.
The Repubs, as I stand solidly behind my assertion, are sitting around biting fingernails waiting to see what tack this situation takes.
That’s my last word and I stand by it.
You may continue to defend the RINOS, as is your wont.
I will never buy that they are totally at the mercy of the media.
I know you think I am making excuses. I suggest reading a few accounts of campaigns, inside DC baseball, and the like.
President Bush couldn’t get speech time on the networks during wartime. There is a reason we have only seen Inhofe on Fox, and then usually only on Hannity’s show.
You seem to think that McConnell can demand time. He can demand all he wants, but they won’t have him on unless they can pair him with a snappy democrat talker and make him look foolish. The producers control the agenda.
The only people who can demand time on one of these shows is a president, vice president, or secretary of state or defense. And then it requires extreme pressure if you are a Republican office holder.
You can fuss at me all you want, but do you really think the GOP doesn’t want to be on TV? Do you really think that the only GOP available for TV are the RINOS? Come on!
It has become too easy to dump blame on our side. They have their faults (and some, quite a few), but blaming them for not being on the Sunday talk shows isn’t fair.
Also, I think the comment about something between their legs is vulgar.
