Tommy Christopher , the Paul Krugman of Mediaite , is nothing if not consistent .

T.C. scorns the Republican candidates .

Yawn .

…Lucky Mitt!

I don’t get why this site needs a liberal ideologue.

Not sure a kiss-up endorsement is so great.  Pawlenty went from personal attacks of fellow candidates to at other times kissing up to (at least Romney), comes across as an attention seeker.

Well if Tommy says it, it must be true!  Yawn.

Right, America yawns and Mediaite.com features it as its top story!  LOL

Get your story straight.

Has Mediaite covered the Gibson Guitar story?

…A great big whopping kiss. Lucky Mitt!

I can just see his response now.

…”Huh! No…No…No…Nooooooo!!!! Damn You All to Hell!!! A La Chuck Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes.

HAHA, thanks for my first LOL of the day!

skyfet called me up on the e-mail and asked me to speak for him while he’s at his appointment with the village medicine man .

skyfet says : who cares if this tim joker endorphins this Rombley guy ? the poles say the cowboy guy from Taxes is at top for now ,so do the French !!  My toaster is broke !! Like America . I think i struck a nerve Ahhhhhhhhh

Essentially, Christopher’s headline is “Don’t read my column — it’s boring”.  So, I skipped right to the comments.  How about those Jets! 

Is this supposed to be good news for Mr. Romney (Healthcare guy). No one cares about these guys. Gov Perry (Social security) guy is taking the beating now. They rise and fall, all the public needs is to hear them speak, that’s all. As for Mr Healthcare, he’d have to explain his job plan to the American people of how he is one of the problems i.e. buying up companies, breaking them up and sending jobs overseas. What a great assets for the corporations, but not its workers. 

Yawn………………………………

…says the f-bomb throwing longshoreman

Why is Tommy allowed to have such clearly biased POVs on this site? It’s one thing to have a POV, but he’s becoming MSNBC with his dripping sarcasm and at times total dishonesty and hypocrisy.

Is that what this site is supposed to stand for?

You can’t stand the truth. 

Funny how you libs aren’t concerned with GE shipping their jobs over to China.

Well, you could go elsewhere, Michelle-in-Utah. I can assure you, you would not be missed.

Miracle Whip! What a reference. I love it!

I also love the reference to the McCain VP vetting process. A bit of bitterness there, huh, T-Paw? Can’t say that I blame you. If you’d been the VP nominee, McCain would have done measurably better. Great post.

Your asking to be banned.  And believe me, I speak from experience. If I disappear AGAIN, you will know why. 

Oh wow, Tommy wrote something smart?! Must be the twilight zone.

You! otherwise you’d have packed your bags and move to Guatemala. You lived (fully) under them for two years and still living under them whilst they hold the white house and the senate. Just admit it, you can’t have it better anywhere else in the world, so that’s why you and your fellow travelers are not gong anywhere. And if you secede with your southern states, you’d all be illegals up north. So appreciate what you have and don’t be an ingrate. 

A few minutes before President Obama strode to the lectern Thursday night for his jobs speech to a joint session of Congress, conservative pundit and Tea Party firebrand Dana Loesch used her Twitter account to take note of a Tennessee congresswoman’s plus-one for the address.

“Love that Marsha Blackburn invited Henry Juszkiewicz,” Loesch excitedly told her more than 22,000 followers, referring to the Nashville Republican’s guest, who’s the CEO of Gibson Guitar Corp.
The invite was a definite nose-thumbing at the president, whose administration inadvertently helped turn Gibson, currently under investigation for the kind of wood it uses, into a rabble-rousing battle cry for the Tea Party and conservative media establishment.
The strange journey of the Nashville-based guitar maker’s CEO—from a typical day at the office to a barrage of media interviews to throwing red meat at right-wing personalities like Glenn Beck and ultimately flying to meet House Speaker John Boehner prior to Obama’s speech—began without warning at about 8:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 24.
That’s when armed federal agents executed four search warrants on Gibson facilities in Nashville and Memphis -http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/09/09/gibson-guitar-goes-tea-party-henry-juszkiewicz-attends-obama-speech.html Play only a Fender myself.(electrical) Martin (acoustic).

Unions are the only one standing up to them. Check out the Union battling them when they tried to take away their benefits even-though they didn’t pay any taxes. Mitt’s company dedicated in destroying American jobs and creating Chinese job. Come on, you must admit that your Mormon Bro was wrong, don’t support him blindly like you did Beck just because he is Mormon.

The Teapublican candidates fall into groups:

Articulate Gentlemen Despised by the T-Partee: Hunstmann, T-Paw (of fond memory).

How Much More Money I Can Extort From My Feeble-Minded Followers Not Gonna Runs: the Half-Baked Alaskan.

Icky “Noids”: Willard.

Ideological, Anti-American Extremists: Mad Michelle, Tollbooth.
 
Never Was Gonna Be Lunatics: the Godfather of Krappy Pizza, the Newt, Sanitarium.

Tin Foil Hat Racks: Ron Paul.

I somehow think T-Paw’s endorsement does very little.

I think we’re all ready for a real team: Snowe/Graham ’12.

Conservative Victimization Syndrome. You, too, Big Petty.

Romney Has the same problem as Kerry,Dole,Mccain and Gore. They are all boring. They don’t have charisma. Reagan had it.Clinton and Obama has it. The problem is that the Gop 2012 cadidates that do have charisma (Perry and Palin) do not have the brians as well.

Unstimulating Endorses Wishy-Washy. Yawn!

I Am!

This is true and its going to touch a nerve, well several. 

Obama’s “charisma” is played out.  People want results now, not someone who can read a teleprompter better than the average Joe. 

I like to live on the edge!

And yet the head of GE is Obama’s main guy on jobs.  Interesting, no?

I think I touched a nerve . Ahhhhhh

Obama is sounding too strident and kind of unhinged and frantic . He needs to calm down .

oh shut up you arrogant, condescending jerk.

Ahh, where’s the rebuttal. You have none, because its the truth.

Must have touched a nerve.

no shit

Ok. Will see.

Give me a break .”He is the only adult in the room”

That’s an old line. And not honest since you cheer for Obama’s failure. By now the people can see the truth, to wit: the republicans strategized that if they sank our nation by opposing everything Obama, with a full court press, that they could scam the public into thinking it was all Obama’s fault. But after that debt ceiling stunt, the emperor, that is the republican party, is fully naked.
 
Romney/Pawlenty 2012

To me, ALL libs are sounding that way lately, Tommy among them.  They know the experiment with liberal rule is coming to an end and the American people aren’t likely to give it another chance.  They had their shot and blew it. 

Yea. This notion that progressives are fond of GE more than any other major corporation is a straw man. GE almost destroyed the Hudson River habitat by recklessly polluting for decades.

Val, count you as one of the unhinged.  I want Barry’s polices to fail because they are bad for America.  And a majority of Americans agree with me. 

Then why did Obama put him in such a high position?

We held an election where Obama and his ideas won by a decisive margin, but immediately the republicans rejected that democratic result, and launched their scorched earth policy of opposing everything (including critical appointments, and even seeking to render the American economy up to default) in an effort to render Obama to “Waterloo”.  40% of republicans do not believe that Obama is a US citizen. Fortunately, 40% is just about how many votes the republicans will be getting in the general election.

Not true Val.  As with most liberals, Obama was NOT honest about his vision for the country and what he wanted to do.  Liberals never are because they know it will be rejected.  They run as centrists and hope their charisma will keep us from asking ourselves what their real motives are.  Most American’s, I contend, do you not think this great country needs to be “fundamentally changed”, like Barry does. 

How nice for Mitt. Sorry, Tommy, there’s a reason that Pawlenty is no longer a candidate. I’d much rather keep Santorum in the race- he’s authentic about his beliefs.

Google “Santorum”………LOL

too mean…

Democrats fall into 1 party = tax and spend morons.

crickets.

Absolutely.  Pawlenty clearly further define this as two-person race now for GOP candidate. 

If employment is still at 9%, either wins versus Obama.  Obama’s decision to go ‘all in’ liberal makes his re-election nearly impossible, so I’m hoping he concentrates on just running the country well.  HW Bush is beloved and respected for that very reason.   Better to do your job well, and let history and voters judge you.   

Thanks to the EPA, and hundreds of millions, GE is clean now. The Hudson, while damaged, will continue to maintain its habitat. You, as a conservative business republican, should consider it a smart move for Obama to have such a high level adviser. But you are blind in your disregard for the President.

The two great boogie men: Soros, and GE. Why GE? Because it once owned MSNBC which employed Keith O., and since KO went after Murdoch and NewsCorp (prematurely it would seem), then Billo went after GE. And so now, for conservatives, its like: hey we will rip GE and that will be like ripping MSNBC, even though GE was taken over, itself. As for Soros, he is a poor man’s Sun Myung Moon.

‘I want Barry’s polices to fail because they are bad for America.  And a majority of Americans agree with me.’

I think you’ll find a sound Democratic vote at the last election decided otherwise.

That high level adviser is moving his jobs to CHINA!!  Good grief, why do you refuse to admit the hypocrisy!?

Michelle,
All the big corporations do that, not just GE. So Obama then is precluded from being advised by any major corporate players, in your opinion? And what’s that old expression about keeping your friends close but your enemies closer? 

My point is don’t criticize Mitt for doing what every other company is doing.  That’ makes you are a hypocrite.

I think it’s the Teabag experiment that is comming to and end. It almost got off the ground but they showed thier asses and now there DONE.

How stupid wanting someone to fail with so many families at risk. Shame on you!

To say a majority of Americans want Obama to fail? You my dear sir are an IDIOT Only a majority of republicans want him to fail.

or just plain ignored

Don, obviously I care more about those families than you do.  You would rather Barry’s failed policies stay in place and keep those families out of work than admit they are toxic.  Shame on you!

Same old Kart o’ Krap. At least you parked it in Big Petty’s neighborhood.

There you go again, Michelle-in-Utah. Urinating in your host’s living room.

BS, Michelle-in-Utah, I call: “BS!”. You wanted President Obama to fail from the moment it became clear in early October 2008 that the Half-Baked Alaskan had blown McCain’s election chances. Your hatred for our President has never, NEVER, N E V E R been remotely related to any policy.

All Hail the T-Partee Idiocracy,
and Hail its Queen Michelle.
She’s always hated Obama,
and prays for him to fail.
She rules atop her Kart o’ Krap,
Her subjects call her “Dumb-a-lina”.
She doesn’t like a single soul,
Indeed there’s no one mean’a.
She frowns and scowls all the day
Wholly absent a sense of humor,
She never uses any truth or facts,
And resorts to malicious rumor.
She likes to watch her subjects suffer
She rules with nastiness and fear,
And so what? She is heaven-bound,
Adorned In hmagic underwear.
All Hail the T-Partee Idiocracy,
And Hail its Queen Michelle.

I like Miracle Whip!

More good news for the Romney campaign in the general election.  It puts another blue state in play.

Rom has more talent than those other guys put together.

Finally,to michelle again,
That is pretty weak for calling it hypocrisy. Obama seeks to work with our major corporations, not alienate them. He certainly does not despise them. He calling for them to pay a bigger share, in light of their record profits, does not sound out of line to me. As for exporting jobs, it is a problem born out of the desire of our major corporations to compete in the world market place. They can not do that by manufacturing here, because our costs are too high. Obama is not the kind of person who would force the corporations to move jobs back here. He would rather work with the corporations and get them to do that voluntarily. 

I’d miss her interesting points and links to evidence supporting her points.  You know, rather than  name-calling and rudeness that some use.   

I take umbrage with the Miracle Whip remark.  I grew up in a Miracle Whip household filled with FDR Democrats.  They are not mutually exclusive.

Your point is exactly the reason for the flight of independents from Obama.   The failed policies, nothing else.   Problem with liberals is they keep digging in deeper and ignoring reality.   Obama is simply no Bill Clinton.

I just heard the polling for Weiner’s district looks leaning republican to an unknown candidate in an overwhelmingly democratic area.  Another canary in the mine….

You are a lying piece of crap who has never had any charisma.

Twelve days since Michelle claimed “evidence” that the President Of The United States and The First Lady have a problem with white people.  Where’s the “evidence” Michelle?
 

Why do you hate America and wish for the the country to fail?

Twelve days since Michelle claimed “evidence” that the President Of The United States and The First Lady have a problem with white people.  Where’s the “evidence” Michelle?

You were and are a lying piece of shit. I doubt you were banned.  You couldn’t take the heat so left the kitchen like a coward.

Just listen to Lard Limbaugh and get it all first hand.

I long ago learned that Miracle Whip has not ideology, no faith. Still scares me something awful.

Pawlenty support for Romney practically guarantees Minnosota’s delegates going to Romney. I still don’t get why the pundits say that T-Paw was too boring to go far in the nominating process. I’ve heard many of his speeches and he’s more articuluate and clear than Romney and Bachmann combined. He had more than just a few talking points, unlike Bachmann. Apparently, that doesn’t work in Iowa. Too bad for Bachmann because as of the latest poll announced 3 hours ago, she’s now 7th with a 4% approval rating. Perry has really taken her out of the picture. She’s not even a 2nd tier candidate. Perry is blowing the entire field away. But, there is almost a year to go and that’s a lifetime in politics. Wonder how Perry will spin his way out of his Ponzi Scheme comments on Social Security tonight. Apparently, he’s ready for it because he wrote an Op-Ed in USA Today, where he added to his Ponzi Scheme comment that it needs to be fixed. Because, Reagan conservatives would really argue with that label, since it was Reagan along with the House Democrats who agreed on legislation which made social security solvent until 2037. It can easily be done, if the political will is there. I will say one thing. I would allow workers who want to opt out of social security and invest the SS withholding in whatever investment market they wish. But, in a global economy and when little piece of sh** like Greece can bring down the market by over 300 points and everytime there is bad news from Europe or China, I wouldn’t want to be looking at my portfilio twice a day to decide what I should do. But, give the people the choice to opt out make them sign a disclaimer that if their retirement plan goes south and the money is not there at retirement, they’re not going to bi**** and cry and ask the government for help. Personal Responsibility. You’re on your own.

You’re on to something here. Very often candidates who look great on paper flunk. Pawlenty is a great example. Romney is the Dole of 1996 or the McCain of 2000. There is no enthusiasm or positive intensity as pollsters say for Romney. He has Wall Street, establishment Republicans in liberal states. We’re talking no more than 25% of the GOP primary electorate. Romney is in very serious trouble. The nomination fight is Perry’s to lose. 

If you really believe this to be the case than why do the polls state otherwise. The Tea Party has been relegated to the dog house because of the debt fight. Obama took a beating too, but the consensus that the Tea Party is entirely obstructionist and unwilling to compromise has set in among many Americans. Many first time teabaggers in Congress such as Joe Wilson will not be returning for another term.

Really? We’ve had a tax increase? Seems to me that the big problem, since Raygun, Teapublican and Democrat is borrow and spend.

Can we get with reality please? Charisma is an ego stroke. We don’t need charisma, we need intelligence and real moral concern, not platitudes in one hand and a Bible in another. We also need moderation and consideration. No need for a quick draw on that big red button… shoot from the hip my @$$.

With a bible in one hand…………..Please keep your religion out of our politics. Morality? Religon has cause more wars and suffering then any other thing in human history including 9/11.
