Valin Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 McCain to reporter: ‘That’s one of the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard.’ Video (Snip) “Well, I say with great respect, that’s one of the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard. Okay? There’s four dead Americans. Four dead Americans. Not a socialite. I’m answering your question. Do you want me to answer your question or do you wanna interrupt? Which do you want? There’s four dead Americans. The lives of other Americans were put in jeopardy,” McCain said. “It’s certainly a national security issues, but it doesn’t rise to the level of four dead Americans.” (Snip) Sometime I am very proud of John McCain...This is one of them. Ditto. John is not backing down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheo Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Go John! Sen. John McCain launched a fierce counterattack on Barack Obama yesterday after Obama arrogantly called McCain’s criticism of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice “outrageous” and said critics of Rice should “go after me.” McCain, speaking on the Senate floor, went straight for the jugular: “This president — this administration — has either been guilty of colossal incompetence or been engaged in a coverup, neither of which is acceptable to the American people. I speak as a friend of Christopher Stevens, I speak as a person who knows something about warfare, I speak as something of an authority — that this attack could have been prevented if the information on the ground had been taken into consideration.” McCain wants a congressional Select Committee to investigate what happened in Benghazi and how the Obama Administration reacted. Paraphrasing Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee during the Watergate investigation, he said bluntly: There clearly is a need because there is a huge credibility gap among the American people because of the [contradictory statements about the attacks] beginning with the President of the United States. What did the president know? When did he know about it? And what did he do about it? McCain then reminded Obama that although he is the president, he is not the king: He really does not have any idea of how serious this issue is. I’m a United States Senator. We have our responsibilities, we have our duties, and we are not picking on anyone here. And McCain connected the dots by noting that whatever Rice said, her marching orders came from upstairs: Those talking points did not come from the CIA, they came from the White House. Who at the White House gave her those talking points? Obama might do well not to cross a man who’s survived more serious issues than a verbal attack.

nickydog Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Would someone who has access to Powerline post their "I, Pencil," The Movie" which they put online yesterday? It has a really great 5-minute film about the making of the pencil and the free market. As my friend who sent it to me said, it would be a wonderful thing to show in schools with discussion after.

Pepper Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 If Jill Kelley is a Tampa social light, what does that make Michelle? A national socialist heavy? How our language has deteriorated When Did Socialite Become an Insult? AND... Jill Kelley, who initiated an investigation that ultimately unveiled Petraeus’ extramarital affair, and her sister had two “courtesy” meals at the White House mess as guests of a mid-level White House aide. Kelley and her family also received a White House tour. The visits occurred during the past three months. from http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/woman-who-sparked-petraeus-scandal-visited-white-house-3-times-in-recent-months/2012/11/16/8461f52c-301b-11e2-af17-67abba0676e2_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 This is a great example of how conservatives need to change the way we communicate. Often we like to explain things by talking about ideas. From Buckley to Limbaugh we are predisposed to listening to lectures. The upcoming generation is not. I pencil takes the exact same information that is covered in the "lecture" and adapts it into a "picture" about connections. It becomes a story about people and not ideas. THAT is the shift we must make. Our party needs to take our ideas and make them into stories about people. The ideas don't change, but how we present them does.

Osama Bin Laden was living with 3 wives in one compound and never left the house for 5 years. It is now believed he called the Navy Seals himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
