Thanks for your opinion, Tingles.  We’ll file it where it belongs, in the trash.

Perry got hammered 10 times harder from the right this morning than by the left…. you guys can keep saying the left is attacking him and Bachmann when in reality it’s mostly the right.. Meanwhile Willard “universal health care” Romney is coasting towards winning the nomination..

Yeah, right, Tweetybird. Aren’t you one of those “horrible green parrots” Yeats wrote about? Yet, you are handsome, hip, & happening compared to Piers Morgan.

Tingles Matthews was an Idiot Yesterday, an Idiot today, and will be an Idiot when he wakes up
tommorrow!
Totally Irrelevant!
Check his ratings!!!!!

If you look at this in horse racing terms Obama is no Secretariat, and can be beat. 1 Billion in campaign funds, lots of free help from media and an American public that does get influenced by the consistant talking points of the left will be hard to beat .
 If you talk to  Independants and Democrats the best chance will be Romney. He’s not a WOW candidate but all my immediate family members who all voted Democratic could be persuaded to vote for Romney. Let’s say Rubio becomes his running mate, it could appeal to the rest of the base.

‘Reince Marshal’ Priebus, GOP Minister of Prevarication

Reince Priebus, Tea Party Gauleiter and Minister of Prevarication, made his Hardball
debut on Friday evening and did not disappoint. He was all that his
detested predecessor, Michael Steele, aspired to be and more. A happy
face, masking his party’s answer to the ‘middle class question’. The final dissolution.

The beady-eyed bureaucrat could barely wait to get started, welcoming Chris Matthews
to his own show. While most equivocators manage to speak out of both
side of their mouths, the twitchy minister spoke through an odd half
grin out of only the right side of his mouth. An appropriate tell indeed …

I’ve written it before and I’ll write it again later as necessary to laugh at the Tea Partiers, but much like they weren’t able to stop McCain, and gee, they hated him, they will not be able to stop Romney’s nomination either.  they imagine they speak for “the American people,” when they ever speak for Republicans.

Michelle, if you don’t like it, then get to work (instead of posting here) donating and working phone banks.  Like you, I want Perry or Bachman, but you are gonna have to make it happen

Chris Matthews and his panel of liberals are completely irrelevant to the republican nominee, campaign, or anything dealing with conservatives.  They are nothing but a bunch of idiots to be laughed at.  For Chris to even particiapte in a discussion about republicans is absurd on it’s face.  This is the man who claimed it was his job as a journalist to ensure Obama is successful.  Why you even bother to report his dicussing anything dealing with conservatives is beyond me.

As usual, Helen Cooper has it pegged: all the hoopla about Perry now will seem suddenly obsolete once the GOP realizes an actual general election will have to be fought. It will be more of a liability, at that point in time, to be too-closely associated with Tea Party ugliness.

Does this “Liars Club” meet every Sunday?

Republicans will not accept another appeaser, America will not accept another term for Obama. Rommie the Rino will not be the nominee when the smoke clears, and Obama’s out either way.

Repubican’s war against the working, middle class and poor exposed:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44218846/ns/politics/#.TlFW06i4Jl0

these are the people who fought tooth and nail to extend the tax cuts for the rich

Wow!

MessNBC says it.

Great source.

Not.

That’s what you morons said in 2010′s ass whipping too. Yeah, stick with that.

Will you weep if President Obama is re-elected?

I bet you’ll weep.

Actually the only one running for president in 2012 that is definitely ‘ unelectable ‘ is that racist criminal Barack Obama. 

The rest might not make it to the end, but that is more for reasons to do with not enough finances.

Obama and the MSM  keep bragging ( rubbing it in ” real ” Americans faces ) about the $1 billion quid pro quo union kick back money he’s pocketed already, yet he couldn’t be re-elected even if A.C.O.R.N. were still in the picture with their ” one dreg = ten votes ” program. 

Even the ghetto and barrio dwellers have turned against the ‘ evil within ‘ our White House this go round.

That’s the way, Tommy. Pull the blanket over your head, stick your fingers in your ears, and chant “NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.” Then it won’t happen.

I mean, come on, you guys. How could somebody possibly become President of the United States without winning the approval of Chris Matthews?

That’s the way. Chin up!

it’s an AP piece and even gingrich is against the measure if you read it…

btw the msnbc online site is not opinion…it’s facts/reporting

but you are a republican…so probably paranoid about any and every media outside fake/fox news

“Despite an instant, commanding lead in the polls, newly-minted GOP presidential candidate Gov. Rick Perry is already being viewed as “unelectable” by a panel of paid Democrat strategists on a low rated cable news show on a low rated cable news channel which specializes (openly & admittedly) in getting Democrats elected.

Tommy, are you as shocked as the rest of that this panel would draw such a conclusion? 

As usual, I see lots of nasty, dumbass attacks on “tingles,” but pretty much nothing that contradicts his point. It sounds like you Republicans are starting to wake up to the fact that the teaturds have taken your party off the cliff and are destroying your chances for success next year with independents. If you think for a moment that they’re going to be attracted to a return to Bushonomics or fall for the religious wingnuttery of Bachmann and Perry, you’re on crack. 

isn’t this the same network that called Florida for Gore?

I would most certainly weep if “Teh Chicago Huckster” wins again. Most of us that still have jobs would weep, that’s why we can’t let it happen. If he gets 4 more years, by the end you’ll be weeping too cuz we’ll all be broke.

All you ever do is weep…I expect nothing more from you.

No question that Rick Perry is off to a horrible start from the viewpoint of the general election.  Obamatons will be playing his threats against the Fed chief a million times right up to the election.

Our only hope is Romney, but I am concerned the Jughead wing of the Republican Party will stop him.

Stick with Perry. Let’s see how far that gets you. LOL!

If you think this is a bad start then you are either a very stupid republican or you are a lefty troll pretending to be a Romney devotee.

The tea party’s (or teaturds as you labeled them) power is wildly overblown.  Perry would have been a front runner or close to it whether the tea party existed or not.  Furthermore, tea party people are made up of moderates, hard right and so on.  Hard to classify them.  Some are concerned about deficit and against the wars, some are just hard right christians, etc.  The Left has reduced it down to too simple an analysis.

Still no word on Biden’s disaster in China , when he got off the plane and asked to see the” head Chinaman” .

You’re a funny one you are!

Watching an empty suit that was elected as a result of nothing more than his skin tone methodically destroying my economy and country makes me weepy. I’m sentimental like that.

You say sentimental…I say weepy vag.

It’s ok to do chink jokes . . . . if you are democrat.  You ought to know this by now.

Stop posting that shit on every page 

Obama is a miserable failure I would pick any GOP candidate over him. 

‘Even the ghetto and barrio dwellers have turned against the ‘ evil within ‘ our White House this go round….’

You must be one of those old fashioned members of the Hooded Headgear Brigade who managed to find a new home in the All Embracing & Open Minded Tea Party and Republican Party.

How did you mange to sink so low, or perhaps they did…

As long as there are people like you, it is necessary for people like Maxine Waters to do what they do. Good luck to her.

Let the fur fly! I love the sound of a circular firing squad in the morning.

My hope is the ‘Lican candidates shred each other into gobbets, leaving only Newt Gingrich (who has apparently been hiding under a rock lately) to run against Obama.

Well, jog, anyway. I don’t think Gingrich runs, as such.

Yep. But Jeb fixed that up real quick.

How many people in the Obama administration came out and criticized Perry within the first 72 hours after he announced his candidacy?  I think the President himself also slammed Perry.

That right there tells you who the WH fears the most. 

Matthews knows Obama is probably not going to get reelected and prefers Romney over Perry…that’s why he’s saying this.

But it’s the mainstream Republicans who are terrified of the Teepers. And are behaving as if they must be obeyed or they’ll bring down death rays from space (or God, who knows).

So even if the Tea Party were just an answering machine recently disconnected in Kansas City, their effect has been significant (even while their contribution to political thought has been unobservably small).

Low rated still equals millions of viewers, and viewers who don’t drink the Fox Kool-Aid. Underrate their influence all you want (please!) but many voters who Republicans would like to win over watch the show.

Naah, B_M_G’s just a common-variety nutbag with the keyboard equivalent of Tourette’s syndrome. More to be pitied than scorned.

Of course scorn is a good second choice.

And the Green Bay Packers will not repeat. I have spoken. Place your bets!

I was just channelling Karnak the Magnificent, above.

The lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists – and their stooges in the lamestream socialist fake-news media – ALWAYS make it perfectly clear who they fear as threats to their power and to leftist extremism and who they feel are minor annoyances that they can marginalize, co-opt, and defeat.  Hence, the vicious, hysterical, out-of-control, foaming-at-the-mouth attacks on Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Christie, Ryan, etc., and the kind words of “monica-stain” bill and other leftists for huntsman, mr. romneycare, etc., and their unbounded delight that a rino traitor like AMNESTY-JOHN mccain was nominated in 2008.

I can’t wait for them all to %$#! their pants when Sarah walks away with the nomination and then wins the election in a landslide !!  It will be one of the greatest moments in American history.

So the media is officially picking Romney now. Now they aren’t going to shut up about him.

Can’t wait, ehh? And when that doesn’t happen, what are you going to do, kick your dog?

If Mitt is the GOP nominee, I’m going to write in for Neal Boortz. Bad enough the last GOP President was a liberal. A GOP liberal from Mass, would be a disaster before it happened.

So that god is dead stuff is true and you’ve taken over?

Alternatively, you could go pound sand.

GWBush was a liberal? Wow.

Just wow.

Matthews is correct Perry is unelectable.
Palin if see runs too polarizing, not enough ideas
Giingrich- to many ideas but been there done that
Santorum- Way to far right on social issues for moderates
Paul- half his message is great but other half is too far out
Cain nice try but no

Leaves Romney and Huntsman as most electable with moderates and independents

I’m sure that Matthews and his panel have no idea how many votes they garnered for Perry with their skewed “insights”.

My posts must be read carefully to fully grasp them.  The key quote is as follows, “from the viewpoint of the general election”.

I have never heard a candidate for the presidency threaten the Federal Reserve chairman in the first few days of running.

How exactly did Obama “slam” Perry? Let’s see that quote and let people decide if it was a “slam.”

Parry 2012!

Rick Parry is my pick for the GOP nomination… for that very reason…

Well Rick, the crap coming from the Village Idiot, Chrissy ‘Tingles & Thrills’ Matthews and the four (4) wackos from the left pretty much garrrrronteees you being named President of the USA next November. Congrats! Now America will get back on track after Obummer ran us into the ground.

Can you imagine the sane voters: Indies, Reagan Dems, Libertarians, TEAS, Gopers buying into Chris and his 5 wanker-libs who nobody would trust with their kids on anything nowadays when in 2.8 yrs. of Obama, and since 2006 majorities of Dems running Congress till 2010, were crucifying America with Obamacare, no border solutions, horrid foreign policies, nada American domestic energy solutions with our own huge 200 yr. supplies of coal, gas, oil, shale, huge tax-spending-and horrid EPA -other weird enviro regs that kill farms, business and the fishing business????? And Chrissie is trying to sell the lie that Obama is brave, smart, loyal, clean, reverent and his policies are golden?????? Oh puleeze. No wonders liberals are bound for perdition.

centrist79,

Me thinks you should stick to teaching your Kindergarten class. Above that level would be too far over your head. Make sure them kids get their milk and cookies each day. And a nap. Don’t forget the nap. Very important for 4 & 5 year old kids.

Actually, the Obama admin only laughed at Perry’s Moronic attack on Bernanke.  The ones who really broke off a switch and took Perry apart were the Bush administration.  Perry is gonna have to get by Rove and all his attack dogs to get to the GOP nomination.  I’m not sure what Perry did, but it seems like every career pol in Texas loathes him.

Of course that’s just about to happen — Sarah P is just gonna dump 12-24 million a year and a chance to make simplistic snide comments from the safety of the Fox bubble that get her tons of attention and worship from the Tea Baggers, to venture out and expose herself to unscreened questions (for which she will have to study to get High school and college level: history, econ, and poly sci at least) all in pursuit of a job that will pay her in a year what she makes in 2 weeks now!  

Lets just start that countdown clock now, shall we?

You have to remember that to these people, Mussolini was a moderate.

You personally are losing the war on ignorance.  Chris Matthews is the poster child for ignorance and the DNC Chair Monster Wasserman Schultz is so full of herself she can’t possibly get any more lip fillers.

While governor of Mass.  Mitt balanced the budget without raising taxes.  The heritage foundation helped him find a creative way for people to be responsible for their health care.  He will repeal Federal gov’t health care.  He will address effectively illegal immigration.

This country is in desperate need of someone who is competent and capable……..Mitt is!  He, better than anyone can turn around the terrible mess we are in.

If Mitt wins, America wins!!

I agree,,,,Romney can and will beat Obama.  He is a exceptional leader.  And if you really follow his record he is conservative and a fervent convert to pro-life.  Also he is also pro balance budget, pro capitalism, pro oil independence, pro legal immigration and anti illegal immigration.

He offers true effective leadership……proven, get it done leadership.  We win if Mitt wins!

Rick Perry is the most radical extreme-right candidate ever.

Well, when you put it that way, compared to Hitler, Mussolini was kind of like Ellen Degeneres.

Mormon homeschool… Sounds like a blast.

You didn’t by chance become such an effective job builder at a Mormon Homeschool did you?

The ONLY unelectable candidate is Obama. He will lose 40 states.

That is coming from a clown using the phony name “Owl22″ to make stupid comments. LOL

Coming from someone whose real name is a bad joke (and whose delusions of grandeur about his career are just pathetic), I’d suggest thinking twice before criticizing someone’s screen name.

Take a deep breath. Think between sentences. Consider punctuation. Use subjects and objects together. Get a clue.

And many Texans.

He may be able to pull off 15 states, but I agree that’s he’s finished. Look, if Chris Matthews and his panel of leftists is telling the GOP that Perry is unelectable and Mittens should be the nominee, rest assured that the opposite holds true. Perry is not only electable but a shoo-in against Obama while Romney, despite being electable, is the last person the Republicans should nominate. His health care debacle in MassachusettEs alone should disqualify him.

Yeah, run with the “extreme” narrative. That worked out great in the midterms for the Dems.

Funny how you end up with the 2 worst possible candidates(Ron Paul notwithstanding) as the “most electable”. I think I’ll go with the conservative base’s choice for the GOP nominee instead of what Fat Bastard Matthews or some random posters on a message board say.

Mittens might not have raised taxes, but he did institute tons of “user fees” which are essentially the same thing.

Also, he was getting half the funding for Romneycare from the federal government. What would’ve happened to the state’s budget had those subsidies from the other 49 states disappeared? The cost of the health care plan would’ve skyrocketed(and it has regardless) and taxes would’ve had to have gone way up.

Pity might be the word. I would certainly call it poor, small minded and pitiful…

Pity might be the word. I would certainly call it poor, small minded and pitiful…

Boy pick up a history book once in a while.

Why does Matthews always have his hand in his pocket when talking about Obama?

That coming from someone with “patriot” in his user name when obviously he is a far left-wing socialist is a real bad joke.  Some “patriot” you are!!!

This is the same hatchet job terminology they used during Hillary’s run in the primary. The issue then was that the Democrats wanted to elect the first black, well, half-black (mulatto?) president before they wanted the first woman president. (Remember kids, for liberals it’s all about identity politics, not experience and qualification.)

Now that Perry’s in the race, and a potentially real threat against Obozo they’re already putting out the “unelectable” word. Why? Because they want an establishment Republican like Romney or Huntsman for Obozo to beat up on.

I’m not in anyone’s corner yet, other than against Obozo for another four years so I’m not swooping in here to defend Perry. I don’t know him. But you can see history repeating itself. It always does.

Agreed.

Democrats keeping saying Republicans have a weak field. Really? I see several strong, solid conservatives who can take the presidency.

They’re real problem is that THEY have a weak field of ONE, or The One.

Message to Republican candidates: make Obama run on his record, not his “transform the future” crap.

And they’re still doing it. They never learn their lesson, do they?

As opposed to a current president who is the most radical extreme-left candidate for life ever?

Hmm…..huminah-huminah-huminah.

Correct. Romney’s just the sort of Republican that they’d love to have put up against Obozo.

He’s rich: check for the class warfare types
He was a finance guy: check for the anti-Wall Street crowd
He’s Mormon: check for the atheist bigots
He’s relatively handsome (no, I’m not gay): check for the ugly Democrats
He’s the father of govt-run healthcare: check for the “but what about?…” crowd

Perry has a solid record to lean on: Dallas Fed released numbers stating that 49% of all new job creation in the last two years has been in Texas alone. He has personality. He can take the issues to Obozo and expose Obozo’s record of shame.

Oh, and he’s a real person. He doesn’t hobknob with millionaires and billionaires and their corporate jets on Mawhthaw’s Vineyard.

But no chocolate milk, please. Michelle Antoinette says we should have fair trade, free-range soy-based milk products sourced from local farming collectives that use sustainable practices and pay a living wage to their employees who have single-payer health care and hail from the global south. All while she scarfs down 2,000 calorie burgers and flies to Martha’s Vineyard separate from her husband. Couldn’t even wait four hours for her hubby.

Yes, when it came to spending GW Bush was just like a liberal. The only reason we don’t carp on him more than Obozo is that Obozo came in and said, “I see your high budget deficits and I raise you by $4,000,000,000,000″.

As any brother should.

     Let’s Dissect your posy

Can you imagine the sane voters:Indies,  = may be fiscal conservative but many have brains and would NEVER vote for a loon like PerryReagan Dems  = To the left of Obama
Libertarians  = look at Ron Paul  many good ideas but a few that are crazyTEAS       = LunaticsGOPer, 
= in bed with Chamber of Commerce and big business Profit over all were crucifying America with Obamacare = What is CRUCIFYING America are terrorist insurance companies Death Panels and don’t even argue this point there are thousands dead from their greed. “Obamacare” does not go near far enough medi-care for all with donations by individuals prorated by income no border solutions = Give me a break illegals are now leaving in record number and record deportations and if the GOP gets their way the fence won’t be to keep others out but for Mexico to stop the influx of Americans fleeing the septic tank the GOP has created.horrid
foreign policies = actually almost a continuation of Bush’s with less of the rhetoric of insulting people as you kill them.nada American domestic energy solutions with our own
huge 200 yr. supplies of coal, gas, oil, shale, huge tax-spending 40 % of the stimulus was tax cuts you can’t cut spending to get out of a recession the best thing government can do is spend the GOP mantra that business creates jobs is ludicrous DEMAND creates jobs any company that hires people because there is less regulation, lower taxes, etc.will be bankrupt soon, there must be demand and with demand comes jobs enough demand and you will do what it takes to get your product to market you only need to look at drug cartels to see that.horrid EPA -other weird enviro regs that kill farms, business and the
fishing business What happens when the ground is so polluted it is barren dust bowl anyone. Our most important duty on this planet is not making money, having a big yacht, or even the debt we leave, the most important thing we do is to preserve the complex ecosystems which allow us to survive and without which we will perish. All I hear from the GOP is doubling down on old technologies and power sources, for you is it’s to hard it’s to complicated, it’s to expensive well we would of never won the space race with that attitude. Buck up and quit whining like babies it will be easy to follow the rules if you choose to apply yourselves and that in itself will create jobs.

Why does the GOP grab their ankles everytime they see a corporate mogul

That’s Right the GOP wants to go back to the 1700′s slaves etc. only need to see how their corporate buddies treat employees in the 3rd world to see what they want .25 hour wage, sick go die some where, old and poor go starve you leaching B*stard, want to see a tree,wild animal go read a history book. Not my vision of America but I know if there was coal under Mount Rushmore the GOP would be there fighting for the coal Companies right to use mountain top removal

I do wish that people in my own party had done some weeping while GW was spending us into oblivion and wasting money on his trumped up war in Iraq.  We might have a bit of credibility then.

Because they provide jobs.  The deadbeats who vote Democrat do so for free cigarettes.

Corporate moguls do NOT provide jobs. Maybe they did a long time ago. Who do you think is the decision-maker for downsizing? (Downsizing means letting people go, and many go to unemployment).
Look to the Chief Financial Officers of the late 1990s who discovered that you could raise total compensation for officers with “performance bonuses” and deferred stock options. The performance that is rewarded today is one-year’s worth of straight bottom line plus Wall Street performance.
Now–listen closely children–pay your CEO three hundred times as much as the average worker (they used to get about 30x), add a bonus if the stock goes up in time for you and the CEO to sell off, and let go of a bunch of workers so that the “saving” in the first year looks like a profit. When you run out of employees to cut, and repeat downsizing does not prove sustainable, chisel a little here and there off retiree benefits. Bear in mind that this pseudo-positive bottom line itself is not sustainable. It just has to look that way until the stock price rises and you sell yours.
So, how are these corporate moguls providing new jobs? Actually, they are not. That image is a mythical holdover, kind of a paradigm drag from fifty years ago.

Except that his own party thinks he’s sliding to the right.
I think he is just trying to govern a whole people instead of a pre-pledged base. For all the conservative talk about the intentions of the founding fathers, they forget that parties were not instituted to govern, just to find the candidates and polish up their delivery. Then the President, Senator, Congressperson gets to work to make a country operate. If the President is Chief EXECUTIVE, then he would only put legislation into action. Maybe we should call him Chief OPERATING Officer.

WOW, after 230 years of governance, one man did all that!

The last great moment. After that, all downhill.

The last great moment. After that, all downhill.

You are right about the too-simple analysis. When something is different, many people think it is an exact opposite of something they already know. Lazy thinking. Do our up-and-coming young voters know how to handle complexity?

Nonsense. The only candidate posing a serious threat to Obama’s reelection is Romney. Huntsman, if he developed some momentum, might also be in that category.

The rest of them are too crazy, too foolish, too mean, or carry too much baggage — or some combination of all four.

Perry is unelectable because his “Texas miracle” is phony, and easily shown to be so; his smarmy and sanctimonious christianist professions of faith are both creepy and offputting; he’s irresponsible and unthoughtful; and he can’t speak off the cuff without swallowing his tongue, like another infamous Texan politician from America’s recent past.

Not to mention the memories of the last all-hat-no-cattle pol to have emerged from Texas.

I’m pretty sure the Obama camp wants anyone *but* Romney to run against.

And that’s why they actually have the elections. Needless to say, IMO, you’re fooling yourself.

Are you ignorant or stupid? The first can be fixed (reading is FUNdamental), the second is for life.

Are you ignorant or stupid? The first can be fixed (reading is FUNdamental), the second is for life.

Well what’s “obvious” to you may be “flapdoodle” to everyone else. While I am not a far left-wing socialist (a phrase you clearly don’t even understand), even if I were, that wouldn’t preclude me from being a patriot.

It wasn’t the left wing of American politics that threatened to wreck the country’s credit and potentially bring down the entire world economy. It was the profoundly unpatriotic nutbags on the right who insist that historically low taxes must not be raised no matter what the consequences.

Read a book, get a clue or two.

Of course, that makes it better.

Is Matthews and his band of merry wankers, officially saying the Tea-Party has the strength and purpose of mind this very group has repeatedly said were a fly-by-night group that would soon disappear and had no power at all? Wonder what their going to say when the Tea-Party rids Washington of not only Obimbo but, a host of RINO’s as well?

The self proclaimed conservatives have already gotten rid of all of the blue state moderate Republican Senators.  That’s why we have lost our Senate majority, Harry Reid still wields power and why cut cap and balance could not get a vote in the Senate.  You guys are poor strategists.  You need more than brute ideology to win in America.

 No, I didn’t vote on that issue because I live in a country with “representative government.” I vote on the representatives. My representatives do the voting in-between elections. Everyone else who votes also chooses the representatives.
Unfortunately, as a country, we hold elections as popularity contests. We just want our side to win and we ignore what the person can actually do. That is how we define “electable,” someone who is popular.
Romney is actually a smart man and represents pretty well in governance. Sarah Palin is electable for all the wrong reasons. I still prefer a president who studied the Constitution inside and out. Mr. Paul recently said we should phase out many taxes as long as we take care of the poor and elderly. Huh?

Back to the point, choosing my representative is a big deal while electability is a scary way to choose one.
