The Talk Shows
Sunday, October 24th, 2010
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Pat Toomey, Republican nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania; Joe Manchin, Democratic nominee for Senate in West Virginia.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.; former Bush adviser Karl Rove.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine; retired Gen. Hugh Shelton, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Florida Senate debate with Republican nominee Marco Rubio, Democratic nominee Kendrick Meek and independent Charlie Crist.
Steele not only DIDN’t defend her, he mumbles this thing about candidates sometimes making mistakes, sometimes they misspeak.
Chris Matthews said something interesting on his show which here comes on after MTP. He said the Republicans like Haley Barbour are calling up Steele and begging him to get Sarah Palin off their backs.
I don’t know where CM gets this stuff but I thought it an intriguing little tidbit, don’t y’all agree?
Haley Barbour, of all people, is considered one of your more conservative pubs after all, and I am to understand that even HE wants Palin outta there?
Makes me wonder about this sudden alliance of Steele and Palin although for now I gotta figure Steele is doing it to keep the party from fracturing.
Pay attention to these midterms, ladies and gems...cause I think there’s lots of dirty tricks going on behind the scenes. And I sure don’t think Palin’s reference just yesterday to a possible third party was accidental.
COD is just one more tea partier thrown under the bus by the GOP. Joe Miller, another, and I definitely think the GOP is helping Crist.
They seem to think that their constant insults to the American p4opl will stop us from voting. Short of outright voter intimidation, there is no difference in the msm and the NBPP.
I was thinking of voting early but I think I will wait til the 2nd.

Yep, the few times I’ve seen Christine O’Donnell it is easy to see she is honest, smart, can articulate a good argument, and will face all the mindless critics.
Christine O’Donnell far exceeds any Democrat and most Republicans too. There’s no downside, unless you prefer Democrats and RINOism. I wish her and us, yes all of us, triumph over these demons and liars in the elite political class.
“Democrats prefer to spread gossip, it catches on faster and distract from the facts.”
Yes, and this is particularly effective with the media. Most of them would much rather gossip than be bothered with facts that might force them to think.
He should make a pitch to one of the alphabet TV channels for a new TV "reality show" called "RINOs." Sort of a reverse "Survivors." Loser RINO ex-Congress Critters are exiled to a remote island, when they lose on November 2nd. The bottom line is, of course, that the American people--not the RINOs--vote to make the RINOs stay on RINO Island, and never leave.
How bad is Brooks the Porch conservative saying we need to raise taxes and likely need a sales tax to balance the budget. How out of touch can one person be?
Pray for the Election
Sounds like if Dem candidates are forced to run on their party's recocrd they lose.
Well, I don’t believe a damn thing Chris Matthews says, so I don’t think Haley Barbour complained or said anything at all.
This is the effort to divide us going down the home stretch. Ignore all of this stuff. We will find out the truth eventually. Right now we need to win this election.
Notice how we are suddenly seeing all of these stories about Palin causing trouble, beltway GOP supporting Murkowski, etc.
This is all coming from the media, whom I monitor on Twitter, and you can see the pattern there. Stories on Steele not having backing, etc.
It is all being done to divide us anad depress the vote. Take heart. For what it’s worth, I don’t think O’Donnell’s a bad candidate and she has a good shot at winning.
As far as the blue bloods go screw them.
If they want any money or to be included in the conservative movement they need us. We don't need them.
Yeah i saw it, You just gotta wonder what goes through the mind of the RNC! How could they back a write-in for a rino?
Unfortunately, he’s not the only supposed conservative (e.g., RINO extreme on left-wing talk shows) that says we need to raise taxes. He’s bought the left wing mantra of we can’t reduce the debt unless we raise taxes and the rich should pay more (he agrees w Obambi’s Keynesian economics).
Exactly, you need to hear something like that from the mouth of Haley Barbour.Not Mr. tingle.
“Mr. Tingle” (LOL!), in was probably either a weak moment for him, or he was trying to sound more ‘fair and balanced’, even gave Conway (D-KY) a bad time this week.
Barbour wants to run for president himself in 2012, for which Palin (and maybe Huck in the South) would be his prime competition. And he’s not as conservative as his accent would suggest.
At the beginning of the panel segment, it was said that Mara was elsewhere today and it was a schedule that was made months ago....what I find odd....has Mara weighed in at all about Juan?
To each other perhaps?
“Chris Matthews....said the Republicans like Haley Barbour are calling up Steele and begging him to get Sarah Palin off their backs.”
I think CM, as usual, has gotten so engrossed in his own high drama that he totally has missed the point and is now at the point of misquoting people. There are certain blue or purple areas where Sarah doesn’t sell particularly well. In these areas where voters are leaning our way, it’s better not to run the risk of polarization. At this point we’re not trying to irritate them. We just want them to vote for our candidates.
That being said, I think there are certain RINOs (I wouldn’t put Barbour in that category) who would like to go back to the old days where the voters weren’t paying attention and they could do as they pleased. They really resent us for stepping in and supervising their work.
Those RINOs should get the message that, as in just about any other job, if you do the right thing, you will find that you don’t have a supervisor breathing down your neck. And if they’re unhappy with their job description, we’ll just have to show them the door.
Well MM, let’s take a closer look at your comment. Understanding that I really don’t want to fight but I do feel strongly that we need to not be fooled from the truth.
As for Chris Matthews’ comment about Haley Barbour, it just seemed to odd, coming out of nowhere. If you’re going to be making up stuff, why not come up with a better lie than this, certainly with someone more famous than Barbour? But hey, he could be lying, or someone’s lying to him as I hardly think Barbour’s giving Matthews’ any inside scoops. By me it’s got an oddball quirk to it that sounds true. Even if it is true, well it don’t mean much. Sarah Palin’s not going away and I don’t want her to. Speaks volumes about Barbour and how vast this entrenched GOP entitled class might reach as I’d argue.
As for stories about Palin causing trouble, I heard her with my own lying ears state a possible need for a third party, yes she used those very words. By me that’s not “causing trouble” as I think she’s very correct. We’ve been lectured by all from Mitch McConnell to Rush Limbaugh about the danger of a third party and we’ve done the right thing. We voters got out and nominated our people and come on, it’s not like the elected GOP Blue Bloods got behind our choices with a vigor.
The Senate did NOT remove Murkowski from her commerce chair when they very could have, and SHOULD have, just as soon as she thumbed her nose at THEIR lawfully elected GOP candidate Joe Miller, by announcing that write in vote.
You might not interpret not taking away her chairman of an important chair after she’d been soundly defeated to be filled by someone likely to be around next year, as being on a level of the senate helping Murkowski. Some, including me, would argue that leaving this woman with her amazing contacts with lobbyists and their monies so that she might use them against the guy the VOTERS elected to be a bit small and well they COULD have cut the tie, you think?
Now Murkowski threatens the guy the voters lawfully elected and had the senate GOP kicked her off of that chairmanship, which common sense made it not logical to keep her on during the lame duck session when they knew she would be gone...hey, where would Murkowksi be if the senate elites had did the right thing with her.
I’ve already pointed out, correctly, twice, that Steele, this very morning and on the subject of this thread, had a softball lobbed to him with COD and instead of defendiing her, he mumbles what was supposed to sound like some nice patonthehead thing about candidates making mistakes when he should have said, go with me here cause he had the chance, I’ve got witnesses...he could have said...COD WAS RIGHT ABOUT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE NOT BEING IN THE CONSTITUTION!
Instead, again, he mumbles about candidates making mistakes.
This is not way out stuff going on here. The entrenched elected Blue bloods are fighting against us to get their buddies back into office as by them, Coons is more one of their buddies than O’Donnell.
Again, one more time, Palin said, very loudly, very plainly, very obviously, that if this bunch of GOP electeds don’t do what we, the stupid electorate want, that we should consider a third party.
and I think we should.
Finally, didn’t Rush Limbaugh go on quite a while last week about some big secret meeting of the GOP Blue blood ruling class that supposedly decided NOT to pursue repeal of Obamacare? Couple of days I heard Rush, with my own lying ears, talk about this and indeed I read about some secret Cabal meeting along these lines.
So the uproar was getting quite loud and all of a sudden Mitch McConnell comes out with a statement that the GOP elected Blue bloods will indeed go after repeal of Obamacare.
The point of this story is not necessarily Obamacare, its repeal or not, but more signs that the elected Blue Blood GOP ruling class is secretly working against us.
Do not be fooled, do not dismiss what your lying eyes see and your lying ears hear.
they don’t want us NASCAR rubes messing up their party.
I read somewhere, and I can’t find the link sorry, that these PA polls are untrue. The point was that the race hadn’t tightened, it was that the pollsters were expanding their definition of who would be a likely voter, thus getting these tightened polls.
Take heart, Toomey will not lose. Meanwhile I’ll continue to hunt for the link.
