First, let’s not doubt that the Repubs approved those free phones as well as funding for public TV.

Anybody thinks not I got a bridge to sell, cheap.

BUT...I hasten to add that our guy, Juan McCain, spent much of his political capital and time on his infamous campaign finance that absolutely nonebody in America cared about.

To those who argue, STUPIDLY, that the money spent on public tv or free phones is minimal and would not much matter in terms of money flow to and from the gubmint....sheesh.

they all live in that silly bubble in DC folks.

Now here’s my argument....a family is in debt to the tune of $50,000. Husband and wife sit down and agree to cut down on all spending....cut back, austerity as it is.

Lady goes out and buys a dress for $300. Husbands laments such spendthrift ways and says this has to stop, we’re too deep in debt.

Would the wife have a good argument that $300 is just a pittance of the $50,000 they owe on the credit cards, just move on? “We need bigger money to really knock down our debt,” she might say.

Well that’s the arguments the Democrats keep making.

While us boobs who carry this country on our backs want them to first....CUT BACK ON THE SPENDING!!

At the least remove Sesame street, a treasure trove of royalties and cash flowing in, and the free phones BEFORE you start reducing social security and medicare into which we paid our entire lives not that Sesame street or those phone users put anything back into the system.

Husband says “I’ts not easy working for OBama cause you got to be a good liar”.

Goodness he sure ate his Wheaties this morning methinks.

The Repubs did. In fact, this program goes way back in time to when I still worked in DC. I remember all the hue and cry about the poor needing 911 access and thus phones, and broadband, blah blah blah, at conferences I attended. It was going on at a time when I personally didn’t have a cell phone or broadband myself, but still managed to get to work etc.

Gosh! How did I do it?

One thing to note is that our press doesn’t care.

I haven't exactly heard a flood of GOP voices asking questions either. Where are all the indignant and outraged Republicans in bray's District of Corruption? Why no hue and cry from them? True, Trey Gowdy spoke up in the hearing, but that was about a tangential issue. Where are Boner, McConnell, even R&R? Why does the GOP continue it's silence as it did when W took possession of a trashed WH...as it did during Rathergate...as it did with the farcical appointments to the 9/11 c0mission as well as that body's (lack of) findings...again with F&F...and now with this. (please note, I'm sure if I spent some time I could come up with a much longer list)

They step to the forefront if they think that their rice bowl is being broken as in the case of the stimulus, but when it effects the nation and the citizenry.....crickets

ALWAYS it is someone besides the Republicans that bring these travesties to light and then pursue them. Are they afraid of these criminals or are they in league with them?

Now I know that the apparatchiks will be out in full force against my questions...especially a "former infantryman" who I've refused to deal with for more than six years...but ask yourselves, "Where have the DC Republicans BEEN in all these instances."

My tagline says how I feel and will be my last words on this subject today.

You can be sure it will be a campaign fest full of talking points with the bent axel.

Meanwhile over on nbc Gennifer Granholm is loaded with dem chatting points;"its evolving,zero will get to the bottom if it takes forever" (and it will),"requests for security were for Tripoli not Benghazi,"(obvious lie,every embassy in the mid-east was requesting more security)we wascally wepublicans cut the budget(you mean the budget that was made three and a half years ago? How did we know to do that?) Desperate liberals. NO wonder granholm is on channel X number 11,365 seen on satellite at midnight only.

WELL...WELLL...I can’t wait to hear the next brilliant policy analyst on Meet the Depressed......

Stephen Colbert! A comedian!

Our country is tanking, the mideast is on fire, Europe is a disaster and we will hear from Colbert. Whew, I’m really relieved now that the MSM is getting us the best minds.

I think it’s fair to say that by next Sunday the rats will concoct a wave of bogus polls that show Obama with a huge post debate bounce. Will the next round of propaganda influence the wobbly middle?

The Repubs knew about that awful mortgage debacle and I recall Dubya trying to rev up interest in improving medicare and SS but no go, Juan McCain was too busy working that campaign finance reform and I sleep better every night knowing he blew all that political capital on such a thing.

The Repubs knew about a whole lot folks, over time they began to get some money thrown their way for their pork barrel projects.

This is the Blue Blood GOP and here in Delaware they are just squashing us Tea party types like cock roaches.

Folks, they are a political class and we’ve got to bring them down.

It’ll take time. For now we gotta concentrate on OBamer.

But in due course all we got to think is of everything bothering this country....the REPUBS WERE THERE TOO!

They don’t get a free pass in my book.

We wound him up pretty good last night here by showing that everyone from state,cia, to the top echelons of the regime had to be watching all four of our heros in Benghazi “live” in color get slaughtered while no one came to the rescue. Just incredible!! And so hard for axel to explain. Looks like pubbie budget cuts aren’t going to work.Especially when your candidate only proposes a budget every four years.

Granholm describes Romney as a Trojan Horse..”No one knows who he is, he talks to one group and then another group about something different, who is this man? Who is behind the facade?”

Uh, duh..she is describing Obummer.ha.

Everything you say is true and probably even worse than you think. Any instinct among certain Republicans, Bachman, Allen West, etc. to cry out is inevitably tempered by fear of losing Party support at election time.

The Republicans have always been happier as a minority interest within the ruling elitist oligarchy. Worse yet, during stints as the majority, they have tended to only ape the Demoviks with their own brand of futile social program spending—as if they can’t think for themselves.

Once a Menshivik, always a Menshivik.

How aggressive will the Townhall moderators be and how many plants will the Dems have in the crowd.

Axle telling the media and Romney to stop hammering on Libya says there is huge problems there. They must be seeing slippage in the polls about trustworthiness and a failure in foreign affairs.

He seemed very defensive and tried dragging Stevens’ father into the race. Something is up.

Eventually, Barack Obama will outsource the search for the real killers to an organization dedicated to looking for such evil-doers, with a track record of timely success and constant public updates on status:

The team OJ Simpson has put together to look for his ex-wife's real killer.

And this way Barack has a built-in golfing buddy.

Now I see why they have Bob deepthroat Woodward on the panel. (boy is he ugly)

Brit just laid out the scenario of what the administration knew and when he knew it, sending reinforcements from Tripoli as it happened and then how they sent Rice out on the FNS and other programs to lie outright about the video.

Wallace asks Woodward what he is going to do about it ala Watergate.

Laura Ingraham asks the press in general if they are going to camp out on the front yard of Susan Rice and hammer her with tough investigative questions just like they did with Scooter Libby.

Ouch. Laura Ingraham just slammed Jeff Zeleny of the NY Times, saying they were were camped outside of the apartment of “Scooter” libby during Valerie Plame, and why aren’t they ouside the houses of Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton?

Woodruff excusing the White House and the media, what a hypocrite! Guess there are no scandals for Dems only excuses.
