I want to hear why 33 senators have had their names block and hidden regarding the cCountrywide/Mozilo scam? Heard about this yesterday on Fox. This is a huge scandal and congress is hiding thier names till after the election!

David Gregory was already on Twitter this morning touting Steele’s appearance on his show. Of course, he accompanied this with a link to a long article about how steele isn’t getting respect and the dissension in the GOP.

Gregory will try to sow more dissension today on his show. I told him on Twitter I knew what he was up to.

My recommendation on this is to IGNORE whatever is said. Steele will probably be goaded into making a gaffe. IGNORE IT AND PRESS ON.

Good mornng, and thanks again for the thread. I hope Karl Rove brings along a chart showing what happens to middle-class tax rates when Obama and his buddies in Congress let the tax rate reductions expire. Obama voters need to see what happens to their paychecks after the first of the year, because it still sounds like they think it will happen to somebody else.

[Miss Marple]

Rove will only be asked about Christine O’Donnell, in the hopes that it will get everyone mad at him again and that the moderate Republicans will be resentful that their guy isn’t on the ballot in Delaware.

This week it’s all about depressing the GOP vote and sowing dissension. Every show will have a twist on this. Do not fall for it. If our people make gaffes or say something that makes you mad, PLEASE let it go until after the election.

Pretty tame lineup of guests going into the last full week of the campaign season.

It is remarkable with all those close elections just around the corner that virtually all Democrat pols are foregoing the free publicity of Sunday talk shows today. I'd thought it was to avoid being asked about Obama’s failed agenda dragging down Democrat candidates, Juan Williams goring by NPR, or the perception that national media are turning on liberal politicians and their policies. Are your sure it has something to do with Mozilo/Countrywide?

The last news I saw about Mozilo/Countrywide was a week ago. Do you have a link to anything more recent?

[rrrod]

I caught this discusion on Fox yesterday afternoon. sorry

[mainepatsfan]

This week it’s all about depressing the GOP vote and sowing dissension.

Look also for stories about Democrats "surging" and predictions that their losses on election day won't be too bad. The same story lines dominated the MSM in the days leading up to election day in 1994.

I see Christianne and ABC are going the one-way route with two liberals on air. Shelton was one of the most disappointing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs ever.

I was glad to read that her colleagues on ABC are none-too-thrilled with her hiring. I’m still waiting for ABC sunday talk show to hit the bottom of the ratings pile. I don’t think it will be too much longer before she falls into third place behind NBC and CBS.

Happy Sunday, FRiends! Our friend Juan will be featured on FNS, Chris Wallace tells the Friends.

[Alas Babylon!]

Broken glass Conservative here, Miss!

Good advice, though!

[Friendofgeorge]

You are right on! That`s the only reason they have Rove on, and that`s to bash COD.

Rove,Charles K and the like are tools for the Dems

[DollyCali]

Good morning everyone. Thank you for ping AB

as usual I wont be here to watch the programs but will read your input later.. Always good insight shared on this thread.

Countdown a week plus.

Juan Williams goring by NPR,

That was hands down the top news story of this past week and I bet it receives only a brief mention on any of the Sunday shows with the exception of Fox.
