Who better than former Floridian two-term Governor Jeb Bush to point out what is wrong with the state’s current Governor Charlie Crist?
In an interview with Newsmax, Jeb Bush began the interview by saying he doesn’t know if he’ll endorse Marco Rubio or Charlie Crist for the US Senate, however, he didn’t pull any punches as he lambasted Crist, point after point, for his support of Obama’s massive stimulus package.
“I just find it unforgivable. He is the only state-wide leader to support the stimulus bill… I’m supposed to be politically correct and I said I was neutral and all that, I got a problem with that.”
It doesn’t look like Gov. Jeb Bush will endorse Crist any time soon.
A recent poll suggests that Harry Reid could win big time if there is a Tea Party candidate running as a third party in November:
But the polling done for the Las Vegas Review-Journal also shows this year’s U.S. Senate race could undergo a major shake-up if a Tea Party candidate gets involved.
It would be a new ballgame, and Reid would be the big beneficiary.
A disaffected conservative running under the Tea Party banner would drain support from a Republican candidate, according to polling of a three-way contest.
In that case, Reid would draw 36 percent of voters, while the Republican nominee would get 32 percent and the Tea Party candidate 18 percent if the election were held today.
There is one piece of advice coming from almost all corners of the conservative movement, whether it be Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin: Let’s take over and change the Republican party and get all the big spenders out. A third party would mean disaster for our country at a point when we are literally hanging by a thread off the edge of a cliff. We need to find conservative candidates and push them to win in the GOP Primaries in every region of every state. While a John McCain type republican is not the long term answer, in the short term we cannot be swayed even if a big spender republican gets the nomination. What we are up against is bigger than big spending – what we are up against is radical left wing socialists who want to fundamentally change our nation into something even we won’t recognize.
And Harry Reid is one of those radicals that must be removed from office in 9 months. Let’s not be swayed by the idea of a third party. Take it from the master himself:
UPDATE: I was made aware that fake Tea Parties are cropping up and running third party candidates to split the vote in both Florida and Nevada. Voter beware!
Via Newsbusters:
And it’s precisely that A+ for effort that she gives herself that has sunk congressional approval and given the tea parties their energy. For her to think that she has things in common with the tea parties reflects her desperation to try and save some democratic seats and perhaps stave off potentially becoming the minority in the House or Senate. I mean, did you hear the examples she used? When was the last time you went to a tea party and saw signs or heard chants in protest of the recent Supreme Court decision rolling back parts of McCain-Feingold?
Pelosi thinks he can have her cake and eat it too, but she’s in for a rude awakening. Remember how Obama said he would be about jobs this year? It’s still been all health care all the time as they just can’t give up their one opportunity to ram this socialist program down our throats. And so it will be, since they won’t listen to the American people, we must ram our views down the throat of congress in November 2010.
We will be heard, and they will be silent.
Lizz Winstead and GottaLaff sound like 2 school girls in a junior high bathroom talking about why they hate the most popular girl in school. It’s hilarious!
There’s really not much point in refuting most of what they say, but I did want to touch on one thing. Early in the clip GottaLaff paints Sarah Palin as stoopid for saying that the tea parties should take over the Republican party when she had earlier said, at the National Tea Party Convention, that the Republican party should absorb the tea parties. You’d think someone of superior liberal intellect would understand that Sarah was saying that it should be the agenda of the tea parties to go through the Republican party to affect change in Washington, but that the Republican party shouldn’t shun the tea parties away, but absorb them because they are a powerful movement. She’s just trying to bring them together, that’s all. But I guess that is pretty confusing for a couple of school girls.
The best part comes at the end of the clip, after both ladies just rail against Palin about all of her mistakes and how stoopid she is. I’ll let it be a surprise. It was my favorite LOL moment:
Apparently Van Jones is back in the news again. This time he is accepting an award for promoting a green economy. Hmmm…I wonder it that’s like the Nobel Peace Prize.
As Jones accepts the award, he confesses his ‘love’ for Glenn Beck:
On Friday night, Mr. Jones, once a “green jobs” adviser to President Obama, was in Los Angeles to accept the President’s Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for his work promoting a green economy.
In his acceptance speech, televised live on local Fox stations, Mr. Jones had words for his “fellow countryman, Glenn Beck.”
“I see you, and I love you, brother,” Mr. Jones said. “I love you and you cannot do anything about it. I love you and you cannot do anything about it. Let’s be one country. Let’s be one country. Let’s get the job done.”
I don’t think anyone really believes that Van Jones has affection for the man who helped oust him from the White House. In fact Jones recently referred to himself as being the target of the politics of hate. If you listen to him talk about how much he loved being in the White House, you know that this wasn’t about affection, but about showing Beck that he’s still active in pursuing his goals. Of course Beck knows that as he’s commented several times that Van Jones works for John Podesta’s group “Center for American Progress”, which is a progressive think tank.
The elections of 2010 aren’t far from us, and I hope our vigilance is heard loud and strong as we go to the polls and try and take back our country from people like Van Jones and Barack Obama.
UPDATE: Video added
In one of the most eye-opening focus group panels I’ve seen handled by Frank Luntz, it was on the issue of ‘Family Guy’ cruelly mocking Sarah Palin and her Down-Syndrome son Trig, as well as her appearance on O’Reilly’s show to speak out against the show for poking fun of a toddler with disabilities.
Luntz paneled an equal amount of democrats and republicans and scaled their responses. Luntz displayed the chart in motion as the episode of ‘Family Guy’ plays.
Not surprising democrats found the joke appropriate and hilarious, as their line escalates. However, republicans gave the show low numbers. Now, I am not going to criticize their taste in humor. But it is noteworthy the difference of opinion among party lines.
However the shocking part is, as video plays of Palin defending her child on ‘The Factor’, the democrats lowered their approval as the republican numbers increased. The contrast is stark. Even Luntz was aghast.
Instead of looking at the situation of a mother defending her child, the democrats saw it as an opportunity to knock the politician: Sarah Palin.
I would bet all my life savings the if Sarah Palin were a democrat, both democrats and the republicans would look to Palin’s petition against ‘Family Guy’ approvingly.
Albeit, not all the democrats found the humor tasteful, but a majority did. It comes to show you how pathetically deranged the democrat party is when it comes to a conservative woman.
I get that ‘Family Guy’ mocks “everyone”, however their brand of humor is tasteless and vehemently anti-republican. I don’t recall a democrat being personally attacked in such a crude manner. Now the show is raking in a huge number of complaints for indecency.
I know Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove did voice overs for the show for a guest appearance to be shown later this year. Where are they rebuking what the show did?
And not all of the employees of the show created by ultra-left wing liberal Seth MacFarlane agreed with the Palin humor. Patrick Warburton, who is a cast member of the show, told the Washington Post:
“I know it’s satire but, personally, that [joke] bothered me, too…I know that you have to be an ‘equal-opportunity offender,’ but there are some things that I just don’t think are funny.”
From the At Your Beck and Call segment tonight, a feisty exchange about Beck’s CPAC speech:
Rush Limbaugh played a clip of Steve Wynn blasting the Obama administration in a fourth quarter conference call:
“I have more pessimism than I’ve had before, and it’s based on the political environment in which we are living today. And it definitely is impacting Las Vegas. The President of the United States hasn’t missed one single opportunity to squelch Las Vegas! We get phone calls…from chairmen who say we don’t want to appear to be profligate because Barack Obama said this or that about Las Vegas.”
“It is preposterous that businesses are under attack in the United States of America. Anybody who makes over $250,000 in the form of a personal income tax return is now, by Washington definition, a rich person, when everybody whose got a college degree knows that the personal income tax rate in the United States of America is the business tax of America! I am disgusted and angry at the apparent ignorance of the administration and the congress to recognize the fact that the individual tax rate in the United States of America is in fact the business tax of America! And if you keep banging on that, you will destroy the incentive for job formation in the United States of America! And that’s simple truth!”
“Why I’m pessimistic about Las Vegas? Because those are our customers! Those people out there hustling their businesses, and God forbid showing that they made a million dollars as a partnership or as an individual. Yeah they’re the enemy now, they’re the rich folks! Well, until we get over this America’s in for hard times. The people that are going to suffer from what is going on are the working class of America. My 15-20 thousand employees, they’re the ones that are in trouble! And until my employees get the drift of what is being done to them, America is in trouble.
In an interview with host Bill O’Reilly, JD Hayworth repeated firmly his belief that Obama was born in Hawaii. The McCain ad that featured questionable talk from Hayworth needling in birther territory, was what he claims to be broadcast fodder to create conversation.
This was actually a great interview and Hayworth came off as likable and stern in his conservatism.
The problem comes 3:00 in the video:
O’Reilly stupidly insinuated that McCain would get a majority of the Hispanic conservative vote because of his stances in amnesty and illegal immigration.
Hayworth shot that notion down beautifully by stating that just because a conservative has a Latino last name, it does not mean he or she doesn’t support enforcing immigration laws and border security.
There are moments Fox News host Bill O’Reilly frustrates me, and other times I cheer him on.
Today, the former overtakes the latter.
Yesterday, Bill O’Reilly appeared on Good Morning America and was interviewed by former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos on whether Sarah Palin is qualified to be president:
O’Reilly states that Palin needs to go to “political college” and acknowledges that she has hired staff to aid her in that department. He also added that she needs to answer questions “substantively.”
I’m a Palinista, and I do agree that she needs to communicate policy in a concrete but not wonky way in her interviews, the way she has done on CNBC before running for Vice President and as she does through her Facebook posts, but that’s another article I may write in the future.
However, if you want substantive responses by Palin, why not ask her worthy questions to engage in legitimate political talk?
Watch his latest interview with Palin:
Did O’Reilly ask her about a nuclear Iran? The health care overhaul? Energy production? China’s ever-growing economy and prowess around the world? Russia? No.
He resorted into asking her mundane questions about the Tea Party movement which she has previously answered on his show, about “birthers”, and the latest on ‘Family Guy’ controversy. 15 minutes of nothing policy-wise.
Has O’Reilly asked some great questions to Palin in the past? Yes. But it’s usually muddled after some mundane controversy from the media has ginned up.
I never seen him ask such unimportant questions with any of the politicians that come to his show. Not to Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Dennis Kucinich, etc.
I hope the next time Sarah Palin comes on the TV show, O’Reilly will cut the bull, and give her some straight questions. Yes he can have some moments of levity, but if you have Palin as a political commentator, ask her about politics.
Treat Palin with some respect, and stop with the foolish stuff. The folks and Palin deserve better.
