FoxNews reported and I’ve decided

[old Grump]

FoxNews is blathering all over itself pursuant to its upcoming presidential debate from Iowa. So what – I wouldn’t watch it if someone held a gun on me. I found the behavior of Chris Wallace, Bret Baier, and Megyn Kelly in the debate they hosted in Oralando, Florida, two steps below abominable – and the questions asked by a highly competent and articulate essayist like Byron York, beneath his ability.

Chris Wallace asked Michelle Bachmann on his news show: “Are you a flake?” What kind of question is that for a so-called journalist to ask a presidential candidate? I take notice he didn’t ask Obama that question?

And the beat goes on, if the candidate is not one of the anointed ones by the political party bosses and vetted by mainstream media they get ignored, belittled, besmirched and damned with very faint praise to make it seem like they are trying to be fair.

Why yes it is, I will get to vote for the first time next November because that is when I turn 21.

Well come on that is a pretty naive statement to make.


It's politics and the process is there to weed out the lightweights and pick a candidate who has the clout, organization, and machinery in place to win a presidential election.

You forget I am from a different century, now hush, Weevil is giving me a civics lesson and I want to learn.

No you don't.


You've already decided, remember.



Aw shucks it just ain't "fair" them a pickin' on the poor little guys in the race.

Don't mean I ain't willing to learn, you all just keep on teaching this simple country boy some civics so someday I can converse with the big boys and the grown ups. Us young'un's crave knowledge something fierce. Little knowledge soakers up we are, knowledge sponges so to speak.

This more your speed youngin?

I like Neil Cavuto, if I were forced to be another journalist for one day, I would be hard pressed not to choose him. But even he isn’t enough for me to watch the debate. I have lost what little respect I had for FoxNews.

I've never quite understood what Cavuto was trying to do with his program. To me he's at least one hundred miles wide in subject matter but only drills down half and inch.

Much of the time Cavuto's program is a waste.

Really worked well, the vetting process, for Obama. The dems are trying to pick the canidate, once again, that they want.

Now don't be giving Weevil here a hard time, I think he might be on to something good.

[1 Patriot-of-many]

I've decided any one of the candidates is better than the scumbag in the whitehouse. Even slick flipper.

[old Grump]

To many good ones still haven't shown themselves yet. It's still a year away, we don't have to settle for either flipper.

Ooops! Is it okay if I say that Mr. Weevil sir, I'm not real sure I'm all the way up on my civics learning yet.

[O.S.O.K.]

I heard Beck disparaging Newt yesterday as a "big govt. progressive".

But everything that I hear out of him is conservative reformer.

I do dearly want to see him debate obummer. He will evicerate the shallow asshole and skewer him with the facts.

Romney would do OK but Newt will just kill him.

And based on what he's done in the past (not what he's said, etc.) but what he's actually done, I believe that he'll make sweeping reformes - reducing the government, eliminating the regulations that are encumbering our businesses, etc.

You actually have a brain* (unlike the tank_monkey) and believe this schitttt.

Yes we are doomed.

Cap 'n Trade will certainly be sweeping. (I cannot bring myself to type 'reform' even in jest.)

*Speaking of brains consider the Newt as McCain with a brain.

I hate to burst the Pollyanna bubble some of you guys are living under but that's what the goal is, picking someone who can win a presidential election.
