Why do Republicans get all the attention?

It’s Republicans Republicans Republicans

I’m listening to Morning Joe today and the talk is all about the troubles of the republican party.

Limbaugh this, Cheney that, what would MSNBC talk about without them? Is it just me but if this was a national sports cast it would be talking all about the Baltimore Orioles.

As a rule for national sports casts you focus on the stars and the teams that are relevant. The teams that are winning. The republicans have a vast minority in the House, the democrats have a fillerbuster proof majority in the Senate. They have all the cards, yet the only talk is about Republicans…

…the sad truth is if they had to talk about democrats it would be a story of mismanagement and failure in Government since the start of the administration, failure on the economic and the defense side and about backing away from campaign promises.

So the story HAS to be about the republicans, that way it can be a story of political success for democrats. It’s the only success this administration can muster.

A quick thought from today’s Morning Joe on Nuclear Power

Did some quick channel surfing this morning and got a glimpse of Morning Joe. They had Christine Todd Whitman on the TV talking about Nuclear power.

Other than the obligatory “Does Colin Powell belong in the republican party” question the statements on Nuclear were very relevant but everyone there is forgetting something concerning why we don’t get have more clean Nuclear power in the US today. The cause should be loudly proclaimed:


The reason why Nuclear power never advanced were environmental “community organizers” who litigated and protested plants to death supported by Hollywood, liberals and democrats. It was an energy policy driven by a Jane Fonda movie

Just as they want the country to forget which side they supported and appeased in the cold war our liberal friends will do their best to make sure this is ignored or part of one more grand revision a la the French Resistance/Collaborators.

Why conservative leaders don’t pin this tightly on these guys is beyond me.

More fallout and the Vice president continues to shine.

7:04 a.m. You want me on that bunker you need me on that bunker.

7:06 a.m. The NYT tries to say these guys were radicalized in Gitmo, excuse time.

7:10 a.m. You can’t just beat your chest.

7:12 a.m. He is comparing the left position to a protestant televangelist, that’s gotta leave a mark.

7:16 a.m. Here is the Nicholson speech that they are talking about.

7:21 a.m. Of course they welcomed it they planed to upstage the Vice President and it blew up in their faces.

7:36 a.m. Did Freeman not just condemn Cheney et/al then say sometimes it has to be done.

7:38 a.m. Deutsch makes my point about the timing.

7:40 a.m. Grey is the new black? This sounds like waffling to me.

7:55 a.m. I don’t think it’s hard case at all, the blogs and the grassroots didn’t like big government conservatism and spoke out about it loudly.

8:04 a.m. There has never been a successful escape from stalag 13 a supermax prison. Is it just me or do these guys all sound like Klink?

8:07 a.m. Last time Liz Cheney cleaned all their clocks lets see what she does today.

8:09 a.m. Deutsch tries to bait Cheney into calling the president a liar, she not only doesn’t fall in the trap but point out the material isn’t released and Joe point out he can release it at any time.

8:11 a.m. Donnie loses the argument on the: If this is 9/12 I would say take out the steak knives. The point is EVERY DAY IS 9/12!

8:13 a.m. She is cutting him to pieces. She nails it once they are on US soil then the Federal judges can make rulings to make the difference.

8:14 a.m. He says things as a platitude. God this woman is good!

8:16 a.m. The NYT guy point out he was talking about the dangers of the world in 1993.

8:24 a.m. Donnie is right they are close in one respect, The White House is going to do what Cheney says, they are just going to say that they aren’t going to do it.

Morning Joe…just the last hour plus a little bit

Crashed on the couch after game night and woke to Morning Joe:

7:45 a.m. Did I just wake to see Chris Dodd talking credit cards, oh joy.

7:47 a.m. How can you question Dodd about his troubles and not mention Countrywide or the Irish Cottage?

7:49 a.m. Joe forgot the last line of the quote…go and avoid this sin.

7:52 a.m. This guy Rubin seems to be cheering $4 gas. He should be thinking WWGPD? What Would Gateway Pundit Do? He would Drill!

8:05 a.m. More people get killed on the roads and new cars become more unaffordable, also Since steel is removed US steel makers take another hit. Plus the taxpayer will end up paying for the re-tooling as Rush said

8:07 a.m. The problem is the price of the car, I haven’t bought a new car in almost 20 years, they are too expensive. This is due to the Union costs

8:09 a.m. The Gitmo trap has bit them on the rear, and Mika is actually spinning a bit on the we didn’t build Gitmo.

8:16 a.m. Ford talks sense.

8:28 a.m. Barnicle’s doctor is Ryan’s uncle. Small world.

8:32 a.m. Specifics from a pol. Amazing!

8:45 a.m. Yeah Cheney is bad, that’s why Obama and Pelosi is running away from their Gitmo and Waterboarding stuff.

8:47 a.m. I would point out that Goldwater led directly to Reagan.
