The Talk Shows
July 17th, 2011
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Herman Cain, GOP presidential candidate; Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Jack Lew, head of the White House budget office; Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C.; Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio; David Cote, CEO of Honeywell International and member of the president’s deficit commission.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Durbin and Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Lew; Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Lew; Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Terrible interview by Wallace. Instead of letting Jordan talk, he had to direct the conversation regardless of the crap spewed by Van Hollen. It was really two against one with Wallace giving more airtime to Van Hollen who gave the usual Dem talking points about Medicare, Medicaid, and SS. The bottomline is that the Dems have not produced a budget in over two years.
Herman Cain up on FNS.
Absolutely you have to translate everything the DBM says.
I think of Van Holland as Merryland’s Chuckie Schumer.
Same smirk, same mindles reiteration of talking points, same love of the camera.
Thanks,its a tough job what Demint and the rest are trying. There really is no good way out of the huge mess the dem/rats have made. They have nerve trying to blame it all on GW.
tHANKS...!
I WILL DO THAT!
True enough, there is no reason for Van Hollen to even be there.
Herman Cain getting plenty of time to espouse solid conservative principles. Talking islam as a combination of church and state.
Wallace trying to defend muslims with First Amendment.
I wish they could slam them back harder rather than use intelligent responses..ha. The intellectual, reasoned response just doesn’t work well with the populace.
call me cynical..ha.
NOW they are attacking Fox News with the Murdoch scandal..yeah, change the topic from the Debt....
YEA! kasich brings it back to the topic of debt!~!Go Kasich!!!!
ON McCONNELL “B”
RomneyBOT Chris Wallace (FOX) dares to purport
that the world will end if the McConnell plan “B”
is not accepted. Mayhem breaks out.
So, Wallace decides to interrupt and claims it is now
“settled” with a “deal”, and goes to commercial.
Wallace pushed two non-willing Congressmen
for the McConnell plan “B” they did not want
over one dozen times. Over and over.
On The incredible, conservative Candidate Herman Cain:
Wallace interviews Herman Cain, GOP presidential candidate.
Wallace tries to demean him telling him he is
not listening to two “experts”. Cain corrects
the wacko Wallace. Wallace returns to his put downs
and leans on an “expert” to show the world will
end unless all bow down to Obama and McConnell’s plan “B”.
Cain corrects the wacko Wallace, but Wallace interrupts.
Cain points out that some agencies will be decreased by
40%, others more, and others less. Since it is spot on,
Wallace changes the subject.
Cain tries to explain dynamic and static analysis of
control of the economic sector to someone who probably
has trouble with change in the supermarket, so
Wallace changes the subject, again relying on absolutes.
Again, Cain explains the importance of small businesses
to the FOX RomneyBOT.
Cain explains the class warfare launched by the DNC.
So, Wallace changes the subject to mosques in America.
Cain explains Islam which merges “church and state”
and Sharia law. Wallace interrupts and says
that Cain will not allow Moslems to pray.
Cain talks about Sharia. Wallace interrupts
and switches to the Palestinians, and Hamas, and
Wallace infers Sharia is already adopted in America.
Cain defends the community against Sharia law,
and says it is going to SCOTUS, so Wallace interrupts.
Maybe the post of the year......
Round table ABC on the budget deal/defecit
George Will - obama has proposed 2 billion in spending cuts....that’s so miniscule, it’s like a rounding error on the GM bailout
Cokie - Asks the TP candidate, how does it work politically to NOT raise taxes on “billionaires?
Tea Party candidate (R - ID) responds that obama wanted to cut out loop holes in tax code while increasing spending. Says everyone refers to obama as “the adult in the room, he points out how obama’s proposals are ridiculous, says it’s a joke to refer to obama as “defecit hawk”. obama is unwilling to do something. obama keeps using the phrase “Grand compromise” because it’s been poll tested - it doesn’t mean anything. (WOW, this guy is good!)
Cokie wants the the TP candidate to know they are in a politically risky place.
Dowd - both sides know they have to pass something. The politics of this will force “something”.
They spent and spent bumping it up 60% since zero climbed aboard.In two years they will have doubled the debt from 9 trillion to 18,an unprecedented amount. A fair and balanced media would put that fact on front page news forever until they stopped. We have a socialist media,in the tank for zero. They too want a further left than European style government and are willing to sell out the country to get it.
IMHO, it was all pre-planned for a crash--the only way socialism/Communism can survive.
We are in a terrible spot,if we do what is right-- cut the crap out of the budget we risk getting reelected.
The game is how much can be cut and we still get reelected,take the Senate and get rid of zero?
Tough call, over my head.
Wallace is just doing his "flake" routine on Cain.
We are in one Hell of a mess. Every day I'm more and more convinced that we better not kick the can down the road any longer, as that road has reached it's end.
Our problem is that more is expected out of us since its a known quantity that Republicans are the only adults in the room.We pay that price over and over.A huge double standard.
Jom Demitt says its hard to take a vote on a speech. LOL
Kasich is just fantastic!!!!!!
He has controlled this interview and is able to get the points across to the average person!!!!!
Lets just run him for PRES!!!
Who is this birdbrain Lib woman on the show? She is soooo dumb.
The worst part of that debate is VH acted like he and the Dems had nothing to do with where we are, have no plan other than future spending cuts and criticizes Jordan’s plan. How can Wallace let him get away with that and no simply axe, where’s your plan?
Jordan did a fantastic job using the common sense arguments and calling their bluffs. Pass Cap, Cut and Balance and forget these useless debates.
Pray for America
I did not see Obamacare, EPA, Federal Employees, DOE, OSHA, Hippa, Erisa, Foreign Aid of all types, Payments to the UN, Three stupid Wars, DHS, TSA, and on and on in your list? I did not see the growth and economic Boom that would result on your list. That to me is the problem. The Grand Bargain is not the solution.
