Jenna Lee is new to the Fox News side of things as a reporter so yeah.. cut her some slack. ..But she is way too camera conscious and ‘self-aware’. ..She comes across as it’s more about her than the story.

I don’t think it’s that odd of a question… although, it probably would have been better in the context of a larger debate and segment.

But with the election coming up, the question over “what does it really mean to be a Democrat or Republican” is important. Neither party is truly beholden to their original definitions, so redefining what the parties stand for could be an interesting discussion. In other words, what is the modern platform for the parties?

Congressman, what is an apple strudel? I as this because we all know what apples are but we don’t really understand how they are struddled.

Was he allowed to use profanity in answering the question?
LOL!

Great Question!

I’m gonna start watching Jenna Lee with the sound on from here on!!!!

Hey Ma!

What is a Democrat you ask?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWpU8sX10_4

Can you imagine a Republican being to speak freely like that on CNN or MSNBC.

A real Democrat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1-eBz8hyoE

Jenna asked a great question, because Democrats are not for anything, except for socialism.

Democrats are against capitalism, unless they directly benefit…an EXCELLENT question Jenna!

That was a great question…except the congressman answered by defining a Democrat that existed 40 years ago.

The party today is for putting people out of work…. Oil workers in the Gulf with their drilling moratorium! The closing of oil leases,

The Democrat today if for nationalizing the private sector… GM, Chrysler, Banks, Insurance Companies, Student Loan, etc.

The Democrats today are for the Unions at the expense of the bond holders… Chrysler!

The Democrats today want to create Green Jobs, forgetting that in order get that product to market, everyone along the chain has to be subsidized otherwise it would be unaffordable…the $41,000 Chevy Volt that seats 4 and will travel a whole 40 miles before it has to be recharged, the all electric $600,000 truck that Fed Ex can buy on the market for $150,000 (gas powered)

The Democrats today is excellent at Maintaining and enhancing Racism…keeping the poor in poor areas, paying them an allowance…with no hope of a job in the for years into the future.

The Democrat of today tosses money at a Failing Education System in the inner city…Keeping that Racism alive.

My fingers are tired.

Cause Republicans care so much about the poor? Right! Don’t make me laugh.

Democrats laud public schools, while sending their kids to private ones.

Absolutely Republicans care … look at what you libs are doing to this country.

Writer…you are so correct…

Listen to this CNBC interview…

http://www.infowars.com/steve-wynn-takes-on-washington/

“Democrats laud public schools, while sending their kids to private ones.”

For the Democratic Party to survive, they need a continuous supply of poor ignorant people.

Former Democrat Zell Miller (GA) was correct about Democrats with his book title “A National Party No More”!

The Democrat Party today are mostly Progressive/ Marxist Socialists with many who are Communists!

What a SHAME for our country!

The GOOD thing is they are LOSERS and LOSING!

Conservative statements like that could lead someone to question your political analysis and reasoning abilities. Blanket statements of this nature (and the one I made above, a direct response to other blanket statements made here) are completely moronic and inaccurate and really indicate a lack of complex reasoning ability.

I rest my case.

“What is a Democrat?”

That’s simple. A Democrat is someone I oppose.

Take at look at these democratic-advocacy ‘reporters’ of the so-called “mainstream media” trying to Play the Race Card with a group of Black Tea-Party reps.

http://www.breitbart.tv/reporters-take-on-black-conservatives-at-press-conference/

The Tea people put them to shame as they were flustered their Race-Card LIES were debunked, one after the other!

These are supposed ‘reporters’, yet listen to them Foam-at-the-Mouth when they can’t get their LYING RACIST SMEAR to stick!

Everyone – EXPOSE these examples of Left-Wing Bias in the “mainstream media” to all your family & friends, e-mail everyone you know NOT to BELIEVE the “mainstream media”!!!!!!

GOP Candidates: BOYCOTT the “mainstream media”. YOU DON’T NEED THESE OBAMA-LOVING PROPAGANDISTS!! – The uninformed audiences they have won’t vote for you anyway!!!

Petty attacks aside….

I am much more interested in how to define a republican… The bifurcation of that party offers much more to analyze…

Group #1: members and supporters of the last administration that pushed to provide federal support for banks/ industry… Supported federal engagement in public health… Are vocal about what they see as lunacy on the far right… Etc…

Group #2: birthers, neo-revolutionaries, those who think the jet stream is a violation of state sovereignty, white nationalists, anti-Muslim reactionaries, whackaloons, domestic terrorists, the el-nino patrol, etc…

How do these two fit back together when one is maintaing a pattern and the other is preparing to dive bomb the capital with it’s pea shooters?

Group #2: birthers

DC Knows that Obama is Ineligible for Office

The US Supreme Court knows what the constitutional condition of “natural born citizen” means. Even the most far left member of that court, Justice Ginsberg, is on record proclaiming that a “natural born citizen” is a birth child of TWO legal US citizens.

Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi knows that Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible for the office of president, which is why she refused to certify the following language when certifying Obama as the DNC candidate for president in 2008.

This is the normal language for certification of nomination for president and vice president, filed by the DNC only in the state of Hawaii…

This is the language filed by the DNC in the other 49 states, however…

Note that the language which certifies that Barack Hussein Obama meets all constitutional qualifications is missing in the DNC documents filed in 49 of the 50 states. The certification of constitutional qualification for the office of president was filed only in Hawaii. That text is missing in the DNC certification filings for all other states.

Whereas the RNC filed the exact same certification document, including the constitutional text for John McCain in all 50 states, Obama was technically certified in only one state, Hawaii. A mere inconvenient technicality, I’m sure…

The US Congress knows that Barack Hussein Obama is not constitutionally qualified for the office he holds. Although the congress passed a resolution proclaiming Senator John McCain a “natural born citizen” as the son of two US citizens, no such congressional resolution exists for Barack Hussein Obama.

The press knows that Obama is not a “natural born citizen,” having written on several occasions about the “Kenyan born” senator from Chicago. A number of citizens have already been arrested and jailed for asking these questions.

“That was a great question…except the congressman answered by defining a Democrat that existed 40 years ago” BatBoy

Good point. The last classic liberal Democratic president was John F. Kennedy.

Deep Juan,

Let us assume that he was born deep within the earths core, the child of magma and earthly magnetism… And you are part of a minority that knows the truth of his sub-crustal inception…

Now, you belong to a sizable minority group called… Let’s say…republicans. They fight for political against another sizable minority called…let’s say… the blarkicrats… Now they go back and forth controlling the nation based on their ability to persuade the third sizable minority known as the independents…

Your problem is that not all republicans agree with you that the blarkicrats president was a magma baby… Some even think you are crazy… Perhaps a portion of those precious independents think you are a bit wacky…

Even assuming you are correct…what is the future of your party? Can a group that is increasingly certain that their group mate is more different than the same maintain an enduring identity?

Chris Van Hollen would not be able to tell you what makes

Rabid Norbait,

Foam from your post has be speckled my iPad… Here is how I see it…
A black civil rights hero asserted he heard a derogatory term tossed toward him from a group of disaffected and upset citizens…
The defense evolves that no video or audio of the incident exists to verify his claim…
The lack of video or audio is thereby further proof that he cannot be trusted… The absence of digital evidence is evidence not only of absence but that he lies…
To question whether the absence of digital verification is proof of complete absence or simply of digital verification is further proof of broader complicity with lies on the part of folks you diagnose as rabid…

All predicated on the idea that a black man lies and cannot be trusted unless verified… And any who question this stance are medically deranged…

Keep on keeping on… Your are proving all sorts of things despite your intent

Good one BatBoy. Really burns. Ouch.

If that question were asked right now, the answer could be: Democrats are men and women not intimidated by those who have good educations, by those who are articulate and intelligent, by those with sharp analytical minds and strong work ethics. Democrats appoint such people to the Supreme Court knowing that such people are our strength, our assurance that our Constitutional principles will thrive and define us, not we defining those principles by whim or caprice.

Republicans are, by contrast, bleaters, moaners and whiners who raise a great cacaphony, but no serious opposition to those whose education and intelligence intimidate them.

Congratulations Justice Kagan!

It was a cadre of black Democrats that LIED about a SPATE of Invectives & Assaults – with ubiquitous coverage of said event showing NOTHING!!!

In other words, they did what Left-Wing Black Democrats do best – THEY PLAYED THE RACE CARD…..but this time, THEY GOT CAUGHT!!!!

Believe your own eyes & ears, or the RACIST SMEAR TACTICS of the Democratic Party!!!

Awesome Doby,

Oh I get it now…I need to write in crazy for you to comprehend… Ahem…

BLACKS use LIES because SNEAKY BLACKS are DEMON-CRATS but we CAUGHT the sneaky BLACK DEMO-RATS by not having a BINARY recording! AH- HAH—-

YOUR ears only work when EXPOSED to binary recording as the BLACK vocal FREQUENCY exists below the capacity of the white man’s HEARING capacity…

THEIR use of RACE to smear is their ONLY skill….

VICTORY is ours RAWRRRRRR!

Nice contribution to the dialogue…. Again…

Wow..what a story! Coming up next on Mediaite…. blah blah blah FOX NEWS blah blah bla…

Just did a ‘Mediaite Search’ and typed in FOX and BIG SURPRISE!!! 42 articles in August! WOW!

And just think!…. still plenty of time left for the 5th day! Do I hear 50 in 5 days????

Since only idiots watch FOX News (and only stoopid idiots COMMENT on it) I’m deducing that we are blessed with a multitude of idiots here at Mediaite!

Totally irrelevant as to whether it happened or not, which ALL video evidence shows that it did not. Thankfully in this country one guy’s word does not determine the facts of the encounter where not one person reacted as though a racial epithet was being hurled their way not just once, but 15 times.

Sweet Sweet Fear,

When will this dance ever end? A conservative says something crazy racist and to respond is transformed into race offense… You imagine attack because it makes you the victim of the drama you incite… The end of conservative responsibility…

Super Duper Snottysnot…

Of course his history of giving time and energy to fight racial discrimination is irrelevant to you… Just remember that to some that means something… Nor does the lack of video prove his assertion wrong…

I of course do not know if it happened… But to declare black democrats are liars by default strikes me as despicable…

good job adal.

George Wallace said there wasnt a dimes worth of difference between the two parties. In may cases I agree. Democrat and Republican are the names of the two primary political parties in America. What each has stood for has changed over the years. More important than party affiliation to me is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. Because there are some Democrats more conservative than some republicans.
In my freshman government class, my professor explained the difference in this manner: What differientiates liberals and conservations is the priority placed on the fololowing: 1. Freedom, 2. Order, and 3. Equality. It is believed that conservative place more emphasis on Freedom followed by order. While liberals on the other hand or more concerned with equality first, order second. You can ask yourself this same question. If you take a look at todays politics it makes sense. For example, President Obama wants everyone to have the health care (equality) but places much less emphasis on securing the border and enforcing immigration lawss (0rder) He mandates that everyone buys health insurance which takes a way freedom from some but give equality to others. The craziest distinction is this: liberals are for abortion but against the death penality while conservatives are against abortion and for the death penality. I describe myself as fiscal conservative, social moderate. Which means smaller more efficicent government paid for with minimal taxation. I and pro life but would rather support adoption and other alternatives to abortion without repealing Roe V Wade. Gay marriage doesnt bother me as much as my two marriages bother me. Im for strong defense but ready for peace. On many issues I agree with libertarians. The republicans have let me down for at least the last ten years and the Democrat team is far to liberal for me right now.

I dont know it all, but these are my thoughts on the matter.

Fear,

Again…simply citing a murf…read the above posts… I simply had the gall to notice…

Are you guys getting the point yet? There ARE NO DIFFERENCES! We the people still get the dunged end of the stick! What will it take to make both of your partisan sides of this dunged up POLITICAL so-called governance, to realize it is severely broken and corrupt?

paul, come on. It’s well known that the D.C. schools are hell holes. I don’t blame the Dems for not wanting their kids to go there. I do blame the ones who say one thing and do another. (And yes, there are Republicans who do this too. I think all politicians kids should have to go to inner city schools. It’s a real eye opener.)

There are many kinds of “democrats.” For those who have worked all their lives to buy a home, a car, and raise and educate children, democrats are disenfranchised. The rest are jerks, traitors, criminals, parasites, and enemies of the United States.
