Why should she answer questions when the questioner is obviously gunning for her?   She shut the thing down in minutes.    We can only speculate why she didnt want to  answer questions, but it sounds like she took the easy out to me.

In before anyone says Obama should get no credit. It was all our security forces, even though Reagan knocked down that wall with a 10 lb hammer. Truly, there are some on here who are disappointed with the news of this capture. Don't bother to deny it. We know who you are.

The problem is the definition of moderate.  Righties define moderate as someone who has no beliefs.  I have very strong beliefs.   They just dont always line up with either one party plank for plank. I tend to think that makes me a liberal, not a democrat.  

Are you drunk?

LOL!  WE were all holding our breath to see what your opinion would be.

Are you drunk?

I am willing to bet that a majority of those scrutinized had a political sounding name.   How much are you in for?

Dumb thread is dumb

You don't want an answer.  You just want to rant your hatred for the president.  If you want an answer to your question, go read what the general who was in charge of military operations in the area had to say.   He told us why there was no military response.

It is an apples and oranges question. The Bergdahl case has been brewing for years. You can't come close to comparing that to an incident that happened within hours. There simply is no comparison.

I don't see irony, much less humor.

You are kidding, right? Texas will elect anyone who is antiabortion, pro weapon and homophobic.

Interesting article on the TEA Party. This stood out to me.
 
 
 
Asked to volunteer what they don't like about Mr. Obama, the top answer, offered by 19 percent of Tea Party supporters, was that they just don't like him. Eleven percent said he is turning the country more toward socialism, ten percent cited his health care reform efforts, and nine percent said he is dishonest.
 
Seventy-seven percent describe Mr. Obama as "very liberal," compared to 31 percent of Americans overall. Fifty-six percent say the president's policies favor the poor, compared to 27 percent of Americans overall.
 
Sixty-four percent believe that the president has increased taxes for most Americans, despite the fact that the vast majority of Americans got a tax cut under the Obama administration. Thirty-four percent of the general public says the president has raised taxes on most Americans.
 
While most Americans (58 percent) say the president understands their needs and problems, just 24 percent of Tea Party supporters agree. Just one in five say the president shares the values of most Americans.
 
Only one percent of Tea Party supporters approve of the job Congress is doing, compared to 17 percent of Americans overall.
 
Twenty-four percent of Tea Party supporters say it is sometimes justified to take violent action against the government. That compares to 16 percent of Americans overall who say violence against the government is sometimes justified.
 
 
CBS Sixty-three percent say they get the majority of their political and current events news on television from the Fox News Channel, compared to 23 percent of Americans overall. Forty-seven percent say television is their main source of Tea Party information, the top source; another 24 percent say they get Tea Party information from the internet.

Ted Cruz is as likely to win the nomination as Rick Perry is/was. My thoughts on the tea party is not germane to my point. My point was these candidates are not electable in a general, national election (in my opinion anyway). They seem to be seen as radicals who are very off putting the moderates who now comprise the majority of the voters in this country. I believe for the foreseeable future, the presidency will be won by who garners the most votes in the middle. A tea party candidate will not accomplish this. The GOP's best bet in '16 will be a Chris Christie type. And the nominee has to be careful not to jump in bed with the radical right (as the last two nominees felt it necessary to do). It is a great help in securing the nomination. It is a great hindrance in winning the office.

I didn't see any crowing in the article. No sure who they is that you refer to. Pubs did lose a guy with lots of seniority, however.

How does this article translate to "Dems are stupid"?

I honestly didnt see the big difference in coverage.  They said Bush was visiting while his approval rating was sinking.  True,  They said Obama was visiting while dealing with the VA scandal.  true.  You see what you want to see, I guess.

It will, like most games , come down to a couple of big plays.   Timely hit here, error there.  Should be fun to watch, and the interest confirms that the 2 schools should play more.   In whatever sport.
