As long as there's a Republican party to shill for them.
We can fully count on Sean Hannity and the FoxNews team screaming "Liberal plot to weaken America" from every newscast.
Is that the usual FoxNews "Just wonderin'." that is meant to put some sort of negative idea "in play" without actually taking responsiblity for spreading it?
Unless you are prepared o cite real examples of this idea, then I charge you will spreading lies to cloud the issue.
Your charge may be true. If so please cite some real evidence (as opposed to WorldNetDaily for example). Otherwise you are just rumormongering... and a liar.
What else can one say?
In America, terrorism pays off: Particularly if one of the Political Parties signs onto it.
Dick Cheney tossed the word "treason" around pretty freely against those with whom he disagreed. Has he apologized for denigrating the patriotism of democrats who love their country? Of course not. How many Conservatives said that Dick Cheney, as Vice President, was wrong to imply that anyone who thought that George W Bush was incompetent was guilty of treason? Maybe one or two?
Of course that was DIFFERENT, wasn’t it?
It will matter if Rush Limbaugh endorses Rubio over Christ. In which case he is toast with Republican voters.
It has everything to do with playing to the Base on FoxNews. Any negative consequences for America are just collateral damage in Republicans lust for power.
As usual, Barak Obama tries to compromise with the Right by not going as “far to the Left” as Right Wingnuts promised. In return for partly disappointing his supporters, the American Rightwing, and 99% of the Republican Party will give him exactly Zero Credit for it and use it as yet another indication that Barak Obama is the AntiChrist.
Pretending.
In my opinion, neither he, nor any other member of the Republican leadership, believes one word they say. After all they are all Pro-Life and they never put forth a Constitutional Amendment banning Abortion when they controlled Congress.
It’s all a sop to keep the Base loyal.
And it will work, 100%
Once upon a time John McCain was willing to go against the Religious Right and NeoCon wing of the Republican Party. Then he decided he really wanted the presidential nomination.
So he went on bended knee to apologize to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.
So he accepted Sarah Palin as his VP.
And now, apparently still paying off a campaign debt, he is echoing the “Bomb Iran” wing of the GOP.
It is sad to watch someone I once admired knuckle under to the fanatics of his party so abjectly.
Can President Obama count on your backing? Or when he is in front of a media freightened by Conservaives, will you be nowhere to be found?
If only the President of the United States would back Mousavi. Then he would be identified closely with the Great Satan and the goverment could crack down under that justification. Mousavi's supporters would melt away.
Why won't President Obama listen to FoxNews and undermine Mousavi through direct support?
George W. Bush would have.
Maybe they both took a "vacation" in the Dominican Republican together.
Of course not.
If she did she would not be upholding Family Values.
Every time Conservatives screw up their alibi, echoed by the media is "they are really Liberals", as though Liberals are inherently evil and anything that is wrong must be a "Liberal" act.
Conservatives, when they screw up, are acting like Conservatives. Because that is what they do.
Quit trying to use Liberals as an alibi for Conservatives. It is a lie and exempts Conservatives from personal accountability.
That it is really Barak Obama..... in disguise.
Conservatives will never abaondon their hate.
My fondesty hope is for the Republicans to put up a Palin/Sanford ticket for President/VP in 2012.
The oddest part is that this wish puts (Liberal!) me in solid agreeent with 95% of Republicans in America.
Palin/Sanford!
I hope he goes on FoxNews weekly to preach morality to America.
I hope he is nominated to run as Sarah Palin’s running mate for President/VP in 2012.
I hope he is the face of the Republican Party for the next ten years.
Once again Republicans refuse to accept personal responsibility and declare, "It's all the Liberal Media's fault".
The Republicans will eat this up. They love to play victims. FoxNews will be running "Victim Sarah" stories for years, right through the 2012 elections.
But Foxnews will run it at least a dozen times a day, for at least the next week.
All in the interst of "fair and balanced" reporting on the controversy, of course.
Palin/Sanford in 2012 as the Republican nominees for President/VP.
I recommend that every Republican in America get behind this ticket. It is your dream come true. Just ask the Weekly Standard!
Every “core” Republican in the country, that’s who. And they can hardly wait to nominate her for president in 2012.
Robert McNamara knew the war was a mistake, yet he went along and wasted all those lives anyway.
For that he should burn in Hell, right next to Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, forever.
Not unless he has a spare spial column around he can lend to Harry Ried.
She has a very bright future with the Republican Party. She is a mirror of their hatreds and self-portrayal of victimhood.
As long as she plays the victim card, she will be a hit with the Republican base and collect millions of dollars in speaking fees to tell the Party Faithful how much she is a victim.
Kristol is wrong about everything.
Unfortunately SarahPalin is not going away. She is going to be a national Republican power for a decade, and the likely nominee in 2012.
Republican can paint their hates, resentments and "everyone picks on us" attitudes on her canvas. And that is what the will so.
