News Busters ^ | 1-5-14 | Noel Shepard

On CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, host Candy Crowley asked a question of Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisc.) that should offend people on both sides of the aisle.

“If I am an unemployed American…or if I am a minimum wage worker…why would I become a Republican?” (video at source with transcript and commentary):

Walker fortunately provided an answer to the question rather than acting offended.

Amazing that that Romney and the republicans didn’t say if she was the debate moderator there would be an empty podium.But then again they let George Stephanopoulos of “The War Room” run the Republican primary debates.
I hear next election cycle James Carville ,Andrea Mitchell and Dan Rather will moderate the debates thanks to the negotiation skills of Republican media relations expert Mary Matalin.

OK - Why would I be a Democrat if I were white, male, employed and married to a woman?

I would have asked Candy if she thought there were any unemployed/min wage Republicans?

Her question seems to indicate that she thinks that demographic is dominated by Democrats. An acknowledgement she likely won’t want to make in public.

“that was the slimiest move in the history of slime. poor mittens. He wasn’t my guy, but I felt sorry for him that night.”

I didn’t feel sorry for him. His poor performance under fire showed he wasn’t ready to be President. He lost the debate at that moment, not because Crowley tripped him up. He lost because he didn’t rip her face off at that moment for doing it.

I assure you, ripping her face off would have made people like you and me exremely happy, but immediately turned off all the washy washy undecided voters that were precisely the people he needed.

Yes, it would be more fitting if Candy would have asked, “If I were a legitimate and nonpartisan journalist, why would I try to come to the aid of a candidate in a presidential debate?”

Candy, if you can't figure out that the Dems keep minorities, women, poor and the unemployed as VICTIMS, you are stupid.

Conservatives with a plan of lowering taxes, which brings the economy back, a repeal of Obamacare, creating right to work laws and obeying the BILL OF RIGHTS, the only people who would be unemployed would be the lazy.

Because, you don’t want to remain unemployed or on minimum wage.

Maybe because you have the now-antiquated notions of “shame” and “too proud to go on the public dole”? Perhaps because you have simple human dignity?

Nah, no Democrap in the world believes in these things.

That IS a question the GOP needs to answer or they are missing much of the opportunity that the Obama economic disaster offers them.

Too bad they voted for Obama anyway. He looked weak to them.

Uh-uh...sentence ends in a preposition, so it has to be rewritten. Does this ending work? “...lots of little guys up which for to stand”?

Cramdy is such an incredible retard. unemployed people should vote republican if they want to be employed ever again.

And what cramdy doesn’t seem to realize a that the REAL minimum wage is zero.
