Watching This Week, the panel is being asked the wrong questions over the wrong issues.
Now the panel is being asked if we’re headed for national bankruptcy?
Well, duh.
Also the audience is stacked by leftists.
On Jake Tapper panel, in reply to WSJ Kim Strassel about
53% of small business income would be affected by Obama’s tax increase
Chris van Hollen said..
.” Romney’s horse would be classified as a small
business” and the audience laughed loudly.
No one gave a come back. But I would say. WHO DO YOU THINK TRANSPORTED ANN’S HORSE TO LONDON OLYMPICS? WHO TRAINED THE
HORSE? WHO HOUSES THE HORSE?
THAT SMALL BUSINESS supports a lot of jobs.
BUT THOSE PEOPLE CHRIS VAN HOLLEN JUST RIDICULE
IF YOU RAISE TAXES ON ANN’S HORSE, WHAT HAPPENS?
MAYBE THEY DON”T GO TO AS MANY SHOWS
MAYBE THEY DON”T BUY AS MUCH EQUIPMENT
THEY WON”T SPEND AS MUCH
WHO DOES IT HURT? NOT ROMNEY. IT HURTS THE ECONOMY
and the people who do the jobs
THEY DON”T GET IT
THEY WILLL NEVER GET IT
ECONOMICS -—— DEMOCRATS ARE NOT MENTALLY RIGHT IN THE HEAD
Morning Mesta,anything at all on the Russian sub in the Gulf of Mexico? Was it real? Did it happen? I heard this particualr sub had unclear capabilities.
Yeah, I wasn't bayhing it either.
Wowzers! I had no idea. Is there a tort reform movement there?
Its worse than that for employers! We pay double.I have been paying double since the early 70’s plus all the other taxes,its unending.
That's what some said about the Egyptian tweets over a year ago. Egypt has since fallen.
O’Biden used “y’all” so he could be perceived as relating to southerners. He missed that boat too. He’s always been a damn yankee.
Nobody is afraid of Paul Ryan, save for the democrat machine....LOL.
Younger voters love him and his straight talk and honesty and the older seniors aren’t stupid. They know their medicare won’t be touched!
Below is my first post in case anyone would like to read.
Well done Pat. When they go to criticizing grammar, phrasing you know you have them on the run.
They live behind the keyboard...
Your commentary forces them into the real world where , like the wizard of Oz, their high and mightiness is exposed for smallness and gimmicks.
I caught a bit of that panel regarding “is America headed for bankruptcy?”. The person to listen to on that panel was Kimberly Stassel from the Wall Street Journal. Goolbey, Hollins, and the idiot from TARP (the dem’s) did everything they could to deny her points. Toomey and Norquist were okay, but Stassel was very good.
Every time I hear a lib whine about the Swift Boaters, I ROFLMAO.
The Swifties were largely Officers-and-Gentlemen and conducted themselves as such. Told the solemn truth, signed off on every word and stood by it ‘til the last cat got hung.
Never did let the rest of the Navy (or Marines, Army, Air Force or Coasties) in on the deal, although that might just have been a good thing.
I don’t think the average cutsie-news-reader from the TV stations around here would have kept from fainting dead away after the first ten words I’d utter on the subject of kerry/VN, and I’m merely an old Naval Air enlisted type.
That GunnySergeant down the road......Sheesh.
Old Hillary can’t plug all the holes in a sinking ship. Our foreign policies and relations with other countries is a horrible failure.
Agree 1000 %. Had the same thought this AM watching the Iraq/Iran financing commentary
Same old, same old. Pentagon denies to cover their utter embarrassment. Scuttlebutt says it’s true.
Even better, rumors are that Hillary had a lunch with the defacto potus Valerie Jarrett last week. Although rumors are she never really brought it up about being VP she did let it be known that if she(hillary) was at all interested she could talk with zero.(valerie would of course tell zero what to say first!)
Seems hill was not interested!! Reasons appear to be the following.
1. If she runs with zero and loses 2016 is over for her. She will be seen as a loser.
2. If she runs with zero and wins it all but kills 2016 since she would spend a lifetime trying to explain why an administration she was part of failed so miserably.Kills 2016 again.
3.If she does nothing but stay home and bake cookies for four years she can run in 2016.(Of course by then Mitt will have turned things around and she will lose again!!!)
Blue collar Dems are weird. Politics for them is almost a religion. Their loyalty to party is bred into them. But even that bone deep loyalty has a end point. Carter and the Democrat machine found that out in 1980.
So why am I optimistic this is happening? 2 reasons.
1st how far off the polls were in Wisconsin during the recall. A whole lot of blue collar Dems told pollsters they were voting again Walker then either voted for him or stayed home.
The other reason is this interesting bit from Gallup. Currently Gallup shows the Economy and Corruption as the two most important issues on voters minds. When "Corruption" has scored this high in the polls in the past the party holding the White House has taken a serious hit on election day.
So while anything can happen in politics, the trends right now are looking particularly bleak for the 0 Democrats.
I had not thought of it this way but it sounds logical as you’ve written it.
