The Progressive media is the propaganda arm of the Obama Regime. With 2016 on the horizon the media is preparing to go all out for the Democrats. Chris Matthews says he will do whatever it takes to get Hillary Clinton elected.
At the end of a lengthy discussion about Clinton’s chances in 2016 – never mind that Election Day is 44 months away! – Walsh said, “I think if she runs again, she really can’t run as that front-runner. It cannot be that inevitability campaign that she ran in 2007, and she knows that. She’s got to be about the future.”
Matthews replied, “If you’re watching, Madam Secretary, all three of us have brilliant ideas. All of us have great ideas. And I especially put myself in that group with Joan and David. We know how to do this, we’ll get you in there.”
Do not underestimate the Media-Industrial Complex and OFA getting Hillary Clinton elected in 2016. Underestimate at your own peril!
(Hat Tip: lobo91)
those are MY BICEPS!…thieves
I can’t see this happening in any near-time imaginable reality -- The Hill being elected that is. As for Tingles shilling for her…in other news water is wet.
Matthews used to despise Hillary.
Now he is just a Dem flak.
What’s he gonna do if they try to run Mooch?

Matthews is just trying to get back into politics. All lib nutcases in the media dream of the day that one of the pres candidates comes along and sweeps them off their feet and back into a position in the campaign and eventually an advisorship. The inbreeding between the press and the dem political system is a sick reality that needs to be addressed.

I am afraid that Mooch would win. Then they will doctor a birth

will run.

The question is what kind of 3rd party? There is a divide on the Right. That is the conundrum.
Some on the Right want to go hardcore on Social issues. Others want to ease up and go Federalist on it.
Some on the Right wants war without end to spread Democracy and have a Globalist agenda. Others want a more cautious foreign policy based on National interest only.
Some on the Right are OK with Wall Street Bailouts and Corporatism/Crony Capitalism. Others want to emphasize small/medium businesses and a Middle Class agenda.
You see the problem? We could potential end up with not just a 3rd Party, but potential a 4th. I am no way a water carrier for the GOP, but there has to be a long and hard thought about this.

It couldn’t take a different position that, risking alienation of that group.
A new party is not bound by any of that baggage. Set definite lines of demarcation -- and do not alter to pander to special interest groups. The primary special interest group then becomes the American people again. Simple is best.

@ Brick:
I would support a National Unity Party that is open to all Americans. That means even try to reach demographics that do not normally vote Republican. It needs to be inclusive, but based on a set of principles. It’s a Party for all Americans not just Group X or Z. The New Party needs to appeal nation wide not just limited to certain states. It needs to have an Urban, Suburban and Rural reach.
A version of OFA is needed and we need to recruit celebrities as well. Run candidates who are in tune with the Popular culture.
That is the type of Party I can sign onto.

On politics:
Elections have all the gravitas of primitives dancing ’round a bonfire, entertainment for what are, in practical terms, spectators. The intent of national elections is to lend a gloss of legitimacy to the illegitimate. For one, amnesty for illegal aliens, rejected soundly by the electorate , is being done on the quiet by non-enforcement of existing law. DC recognizes no loyal opposition here, no contrary opinion, they paint dissent as the ill-willed work of supremacist bigots and xenophobes. Again the voter is insulted, threatened and dismissed. Again those who don’t “share the vision” are culled and their fellows warned against them. They can’t win on facts and so they impugn the motive.

Thanks for asking. It’s been very difficult. She had the melanoma removed from her mouth on the 13th and it’s been difficult to control what we thought was post-op pain. But it’s gone on so long, now we’re wondering if it’s pain or what. (It’s about trembling).
When we took her back to the hospital because the meds weren’t stopping the tremors, they found the blood oxygen levels low. They tossed her in an oxygen chamber for 13 hrs. It’s her heart. So, tomorrow, she has 2 back-to-back appts with the oncologist and the surgeon and on Weds with a cardiologist. My poor little girl.
We are tired beyond telling and deeply sad.
I’ve forgotten how old Leia is but falling down is not arthritis. Laying down is. Get her to the vet. Do the ultrasound thing.
And that’s all I want to say about this. Again, thanks for asking, but it hurts to bring it forward.

Talk about an election circus. Look at Italy.
It may come as a surprise to some, but the largest single party in the Italian Chamber as a result of today’s elections, when stripping away all alliance partners, is none other than Beppe Grillo’s Movimento 5 Stelle. With 25.53% of the votes (96.44% of the vote counted), the comedian/blogger/counterestablishmentarian/contrarian received more votes than either Bersani’s Democratic Party which got 25.51%, and Berlusconi’s Popolo Della Liberta, which got 21.44%. Congratulations to both him, and to the Italian people who made the most symbolic vote of all: that they are done with a broken statist status quo, and that despite engrained beliefs to the contrary, there is a third alternative to the fake Party A-Party B paradigm.
