I guess we could make our own? I did once. You simply print out what you want to say on your printer, landscape so it’s 11 inches wide, then ensconse it in clear duct tape and trim. Then tape that onto your tailgate.
NBC is ultra-liberal.
This will be all about: criminal activity, gay anything, killing babies, racist food stamps, and socialist hatred of free enterprise.
All of which means they’re teeing things up for Mitt Romney.
Mitt will go 1 for 5 with a single, a couple of foul balls, and two strikeouts. Fox News will proclaim him the second coming of Babe Ruth.
Gingrich will go 4 for 5 with a homer, 2 singles and a double. He will not be the star of the game. That will go to the umpire, the NBC moderator.
Brit Hume over on Fox will ask Karl Rove who gets to be the guy and who the girl.
I have the msnbc audio via Sirius XM satellite radio. The msnbc website gave a link to a live stream - nbcpolitic.com - but it don’t work.
I get to listen to that moron Sharpton? For maybe 2 minutes.
I wanna hear Newt all fired up....and hear the ululations of the girley-men
Newt is a mean rude fighter
Send Newt to Washington!
Newt Gingrich = Pay Check
Barack Obama = Food Stamp
Newt vs. NOPE (& the 'O' is an Obama rainbow O)
In my vision of Democrat hell, the democrat debates are hosted by Levin, Rush, and Bay Buchanan, and the audience is TEA party. When the volume of the audience rises above, say 50db, flames ignite below the respondent’s seat. Oh, and there’s an open bar for the audience.
Romney shrinks in stature for me every day. His statements yesterday and today in regard to Gingrich have shown him to be petty. Would he dish out needless insults if he gets involved in a diplomatic row?
hmmm.... CNN is talking about Saul Alinsky and how Newt has some explain to do about him. lol :)
Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
Gov Mitch Daniels is supposed to give the Republican response to the SOTU tomorrow evening.
[Could that be a trial balloon to see what kind of response he gets, thus giving the Elite Republicans reason to reconsider him as a possible replacement for the faltering Romney?]
I worked out, too. The bank of TV’s actually had one tuned to Fox. I kept my eyes off of all of them and just listened to good old Rock and Roll music. It felt good to blow off some steam. Good luck to you.
Their design would be too obvious if they gave that task to Mitt.
That said, I hope Daniels does a great job at skewering Obama. I'll keep in mind that he (Daniels) was carefully and deliberately selected by the party.
Had a history prof once. Newt reminds me of him. His lectures lasted the regular two hours and most stayed around for another couple of hours just to discuss and question. Oh would I love to have been in Prof Gingrich’s classes. Now all AMerica is getting schooled.
Whooooot Newt!
I live in Utah, so I think might be the best idea. This state will go Romney in the primary. There's gotta be a phrase that will attract Mitt voters rather than repel them after the primaries. Anti-Zero is the ultimate goal, and that's the tack I'll pursue.
This debate will have little to do with the media attacking Newt. If the media attacks Newt, he will use them to his advantage as he has done.
This debate is all about Romney.
In my view Romney’s fall has been greater than Newt’s rise.
If Romney isn’t desperate, he is in denial.
The nomination which he thought was his is slip sliding away.
He needs to change the momentum and an empty suit like him ain’t smart enough to figure it out on his own.
What have Romney’s handlers told him to do?
Tonight’s debate is all about the dynamic between Romney and Newt. If Newt is smart, he will spend his time attacking the Dems and Barry and the least amount of time responding to Romney which will allow him to look like the frontrunner and more Presidential and make Romney look small and desperate.
No. LOL
Don’t think so.
Thanks
Wanna bet Brian Williams starts the night off apologizing the Newt for anything he might say or infer before the night is over?
From Tampa Bay Times
"NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams will moderate, along with a panel including Times political editor
Adam C. Smith and former Miami Herald writer Beth Reinhard, now at National Journal."
Here are examples of Beth's work for your perusal: Gingrich • Paul • Romney • Santorum
NBC! This ought to be a laugh a minute!
I hope the Speaker enjoys his "lunch".
Sorry, I can't join the games, twenty three years C&S here :-)
It’s not on the current schedule for our NBC station. Looks like we will have to rely on the computer stream again. Darn, I wanted to DVR and watch it later.
