Sounds like Medved's saying that there's nothing we can do and we should just 'give up'

What say you?

That is what his show consists of year in, year out, election after election his show is devoted to moderating the GOP.

Medved is saying much more than that.

He's saying that Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are callous liars.

I want Medved to prove that assertion. Until then, I'll go with my gut instinct and believe the Tea Party leaders and look askance at Michael ("seize the ideological center") Medved.

Medved has some good social values to be sure! But he is very poorly informed as to many political matters, it seems.

Congress (specifically the House) has the power of the purse.

no matter what Medved may think, this is how our government is set up

I never listen to Medved anymore-—he is a Progressive. I’ve even read his books—and he makes great points-—but, no “fixing” anything.... Just go along with the Progressive agenda. It is why he is allowed to be on the air.

Knew this 8 years ago. He will sound conservative at times—very conservative-—but trust me when I say-—he is NOT conservative-—he is a closet Progressive and undermining this country, just like a Paul Ryan/Christie.

"What bothers me about it most and what I find most unforgivable is people like Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin are lying to the base.

Has Medved ever said it was unforgivable to pass Obamacare? I'm betting he has never said anything even remotely close to that when it comes to discussing the damage Obama has done to this country.

The only fight you are guaranteed to lose is the one you never even tried to win, Medved, you cheese eating surrender monkey.

What he meant to say was that no died in the wool RINO thinks it can be stopped.

Conservatives know it can be stopped. We just have to find reps with the spine and commitment and toe them into office. More people like Cruz. And we will.

A better question is how many people think it can last? A gigantic new spending program in a country that is already 200 Trillion in debt?

That a couple of hundred people voted on it is actually inconsequential. Washington can wish it into existence, but in the end it and a lot of other things, will not be sustainable.

Stephanie, not to nitpick, but commas don’t replace question marks and periods, not even when in a quote.

Obamacare will either have to be stopped now, or in the future, when it has done irreparable damage to the economy, health insurance, the health industry and family incomes. Everyone, even the fanatical leftists know it is a mistake, but pride and arrogance drive it on. What is the plan to stop it after the train wreck?

This defund vote exposes two extremes, which will be a great thing for conservatism. Either the House will be strengthened in 2014 for being bold and standing on principle, or the Senate GOP will be rewarded for their Karl Rovian pastel meakness. In 2014, bold and meak will be on the ballet. Will The House or Senate prevail at the polls? All GOP that cave, don’t vote to defund, will be outed as “beltway gamers” and the stench of their elitist hypocrisy will not be easily erased from the voter’s memory.

This is a litmus test and conservatism will ultimately benefit, regardless of the actual defund movement’s outcome. Thank you Cruz, Lee and Palin!

Same f’ing RINO that backed the losers McCain and Romney early and often. STFU Medved unless you have something constructive and intelligent to say.

There are numerous ways to defund ObamaCare #1 Don’t fund it.It is the prevue of the House to decide what is and what is not funded. End of story. All it takes is political will and guts.

Medved is a Hollywood hanger-on.

There is no sane, mainstream, honest Republican or conservative who thinks this is a good idea.”


Medved has assumed “the position”...
He is not crazy, he’s just a whore..

He’s bended over waiting for a shot.. from the democrat doctors..
BUT the doctors are not holding a syringe.. They have something else in thier hands..

What could that be.?.... (hold it I’m thinking)...

Their are two types of people. Those who know it can be done and those who know it can’t be done. Both are right. Instead of calling the republicans the “party of no”, the “Can’t Party” is more fitting.

Medved appears to be saying we are helpless pawns.

Did he offer a plan to stop this intrusion into our lives?

Does he not remember that FDR’s first attempts at socialism were also defeated?

Does he not realize that Obamacare is unpopular four years after it passed?

Does Medved not think the opinion of the American people about the monstrosity of Obamacare is worth defending?

“So what are they doing, they’re advancing their own careers, they’re advancing their own presidential campaigns and meanwhile, destroying the party that I care about. Destroying any chance at all for Republicans to either win the Senate or to, increasingly, hold the House. I think we could lose the House over this.”


In my casual conversations and ‘chats’ I have found that the most common spontaneous thing being said by others is: “If it is an incumbent I’m voting against him.”

The mood as far as I can see is that the Congress is corrupt and/or ineffectual and needs to be replaced.

The brain trust of Fox News Special Report, Charles Krauthammer, opined several weeks ago on the subject of obamacair...’they should let it collapse under it’s own weight’.

I find it somewhat telling that he hasn’t used the same words again, the latest utterance he has come up with is...’IF he (Cruz) doesn’t win, he can run for Prime Minister of Canada’ (snarky) BUT he didn’t say he doesn’t stand a chance.

“Look up in the sky...it’s a bird..it’s a plane...NO, it’s a Cruz Missile”
