Republicans Slap Back at the Media

So, I watched the republican debate tonight on commie/liberal CNBC and was pleasantly surprised to watch the GOP candidates serve some backlash on the spineless moderators.

Republican debate turns into all-out war as Donald Trump bashes John Kasich, Jeb Bush hits his protege Marco Rubio, and EVERYONE hammers CNBC's moderators

• CNBC hosts progressively lost control of the event

• Texas Sen. Ted Cruz turned openly hostile, accusing them all of being Democrats intent on damaging the GOP field

• Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie soon piled on the network

• Donald Trump wrapped up his night by claiming he had strong-armed them into shortening the debate 'so we could get the hell out of here'

• 'CNBC should be ashamed of how this debate was handled,' Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus said

I gotta say it's quite the change from Mitt's squishy performance against Obama and Candy Crowley. They both tag teamed him and he went off into a corner.
That's the one thing that's been missing in the GOP, a little back bone.

If you really want to know where it came from then you gotta give Donald Trump the credit.
Most of his critics are the lapdog media and squishy RINO types but you have to admit that he showed the way for the republican candidates not to sit there and take it from the mainstream media....which is basically just another arm of the democrat party.

Cruz, Rubio and Christie got in some good slaps at the lick spittle media but the Donald showed them the way.
Maybe they'll finally grow some spines.

Candy Crowley Slinks away from CNN

The word is that the leftist/progressive ringer moderator of the debate between the Obamessiah and Mitt Romney is "voluntarily" leaving CNN.

CANDY CROWLEY OUT AT CNN

After 27 years and more than a year's worth of rumors, CNN pulled its own Friday news dump with the announcement today that Candy Crowley is leaving the left-wing network. “[I]t is with mixed emotions, that I wanted to let you know that Candy has let us know that she has made the decision to move on, so she can embark on the next chapter of her already prolific career,” CNN chief Jeff Zucker writes.~snip~

Her performance as an "impartial moderator" illustrates perfectly the reason that republican presidential candidates need to stop allowing the leftist/communist media decide the terms of presidential debates.
Crowley's save of Obama was all that saturated the media for days afterward overwhelming any other issue.
She basically inserted herself into what was supposed to be a neutral setting  to allow the candidates to debate various issues.

This is the continuing legacy of the biased lapdog media and the cycle needs to be broken.
In this decade there are many more media outlets than the "big three" and it's past time for the republican party to demand either a more friendly or neutral venue.
After all the commie/leftists have been demanding the use of their biased lapdogs for decades.

Maybe 2015 will be different.

Culture of Death Disrupts Texas Vote

Doing everything they can possibly do to retain the "right" to dismember babies in the womb right up to the moment of birth "prochoice" fanatics erupt in childish screaming to prevent a vote in Texas to limit abortions.

Not heard was the voices of the millions of babies discarded in medical waste containers over the years.

Texas abortion bill falls after dispute over vote

Texas' lieutenant governor acknowledged early Wednesday that Republicans missed their deadline to pass new abortion restrictions after protesters screamed down lawmakers as the final 15 minutes passed before the special legislative session's deadline.
Initially, Republicans insisted they had started voting before the midnight deadline and passed the bill that Democrats spent much of Tuesday filibustering. But after official computer records and printouts of the voting record showed the vote took place on Wednesday, and then were changed to read Tuesday, senators convened for a private meeting.
An hour later, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst was still insisting the 19-10 vote was in time, but said, "with all the ruckus and noise going on, I couldn't sign the bill."
He denounced the more than 400 protesters who staged what they called "a people's filibuster" from 11:45 p.m. to well past midnight. He denied mishandling the debate.
"I didn't lose control (of the chamber). We had an unruly mob," Dewhurst said. He then hinted that Gov. Rick Perry may immediately call another special session, adding: "It's over. It's been fun. But see you soon."~snip~

Leftists are all ready to have a "conversation" up until they realize they have lost the debate, then they turn to thug tactics and throwing a fit to get their way.
No wonder we can't have adult discussions, only one side behaves like grownups, the other like spoiled children.

Redefining the Issues

This isn't that surprising, the way that liberals win the debate is to redefine the issue. Having caused a shift in attitudes towards homosexuals by defining them as gay and qualifing marriage as either "same sex or opposite sex" the marriage debate is all but lost in this country no matter what the SCOTUS decides.

So obviously the next shift is to redefine immigrants who illegally enter the country by avoiding the term entirely.

Associated Press under scrutiny for nixing term 'illegal immigrant' from Stylebook

WASHINGTON –  The Associated Press is being accused of trying to influence the immigration debate following a decision to stop using the term "illegal immigrant" in its coverage -- despite the fact it is still being used by U.S. government officials including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The decision comes as a bipartisan group of senators prepares to introduce sweeping immigration legislation which is expected to propose a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.
Indeed, the move by the influential wire service is being hailed as a victory by immigrant advocacy groups.
The conservative Media Research Center, though, described the change as a "politically-correct mumble."~snip~

Make no mistake, the liberal commie media are actually the enemy in the debate on culture and freedom in this country. Every time we allow them to reframe the issue and change the definition they can shift the it outside of what was being discussed to one where they can drive the debate.
As long as they can do it and get away with it we will always lose.

Harry Reid, Disingenuous Asshole

Does anybody really believe this guy any more? Dingy Harry says we're going to have a "conversation" and "debate" on changing laws.

Harry Reid opens door to Senate gun control debate

With pressure building from Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid opened the door Monday for legislative action on gun control in the wake of the deadly massacre at a Connecticut elementary school last week.
While he said “no one law” or policy can stop a “determined madman,” Reid argued that Washington is “not doing enough” to protect the public from tragic episodes like the one that unfolded in Newtown, Conn. where 20 children and six adults were murdered by an armed assailant.

“In the coming days and weeks, we’ll engage in a meaningful conversation and thoughtful debate about how to change laws in a culture that allows this violence to continue to grow,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “We have no greater responsibility than keeping our most vulnerable and most precious resource — our children — safe.”

Cause that's what democrats are known for.....conversation and debate....remember the conversation we had about Obamacare before it was rammed down our throat?
Yeah, neither do I.
We didn't even know how many were murdered before the liberal media began to define the debate and attack the second amendment and gun ownership leaving any real discussion about violence in society behind. According to the lickspittle media it's all about the guns ya know.

I watched the ABC News tonight with Diane Sawyer and the whole program was dedicated to finding solutions together, which in Lame stream media speech means we're going to tell you what to think. After Obama won his second term there is no reason for them to believe otherwise either. So it's obvious that again the progressive commie liberals in the media and democrat party are going to do what they do best.
Restrict more of our freedoms and throw massive amounts of money out there for "solutions" that will simply not work.
You know....kind of like billions to stimulate the economy and billions for bankrupt green energy companies.
There are no easy answers that could have prevented what caused the terrible killings in  Newtown, Conn, but knee jerk legislation underming the constitutional rights of American citizens is not one of them.

Unfortunately as long as the media, Obama and democrats can manipulate the raw emotions of voters there will never be a meaningful conversation on violence in society.

After Debate Thoughts of a Forgotten Man

Well, I made the mistake of watching the debate on ABC for one thing.
Candy Crowley of CNN didn't disappoint in showing her obvious liberal bias, for instance.

Romney said it took Obama a long time to admit the episode had been a terrorist attack, but Obama said he had said so the day after in an appearance in the Rose Garden outside the White House. When moderator Candy Crowley of CNN said the president had in fact done so, Obama, prompted, "Say that a little louder, Candy."

Of course she was full of shit but leftards rose up in a collective chorus of "Amen". Biased much Candy?

But what was most interesting to me was this exchange.

Romney said it was "troubling" that Obama continued with a campaign event in Las Vegas on the day after the attack in Libya, an event he said had "symbolic significance and perhaps even material significance."
Obama seemed to bristle. He said it was offensive for anyone to allege that he or anyone in his administration had used the incident for political purposes. "That's not what I do."

Obama chose Faux outrage over an explanation as to why he decided to fund raise after this tragedy instead of staying in Washington to gather the facts.

But the after coverage at ABC was just embarrassing, Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos looked like they could barely refrain from jumping up and down yelling "we won!!! we won!!". The gushing for Obama was unseemly to say the least.

In all the cheer leading for Obama the central theme is lost by the pundits, Romney has a plan to engage business, give relief to the middle class and get people working again.

Obama, who had the congress and the senate for 2 years and still managed to cripple the country, laid out the same plan he had four years ago.

A new plan to get the country on track is the real winner, Romney has it and Obama doesn't, that is what's at stake.

The pundits can pound sand.

Whoops!
And now: CNN walks back false “act of terror” fact check

Finally ......I'm Home

Well the last month and a half have been really tumultuous what with my being sick and then moving to a new place. But finally, I got my Internet hooked up and a new home coming to order so I can now pay attention to what's left of the campaign season.

Unfortunately I missed the Romney/Obama debate but I'll look for it on YouTube and watch later, however all I need to know about Obama's poor performance I could find here.

One of the interesting things I observed, while without cable or Internet, was the number of Spiriva and Lifestyle Lift commercials there is on the ABC nightly news.

Wonder if they're trying to pass Diane Sawyer a message.......not exactly playing to the youngest demographic out there are they?
I did catch the Biden/Ryan debate tonight though, not that it really matters much except for the potential Biden comic relief.
Anyway the reason I don't put much stock into VP debates is because we don't elect them and hand the keys to the car to the vice president.
My take on tonights debate is that the liberal media are trying to latch onto anything to mitigate the no show by Obama........If you go by what the alphabet channels are saying then Biden gave another sermon from the mount. But what's really funny is that there are people who are actually cheering for Biden.
You can't tell me that that ain't sad.
