It's really not necessary for a journalist to martyr their self in order to pin someone down.


That seems to be just what most Americans want to see, Wayne. Y'all know intuitively that your top politicians are war criminals/felons so to save ya from overall embarrassment, you think this is the way to go.

To me, it's like a mechanic noting in his mind that there is something major wrong with someone's car but he fails to mention it to the owner of the car or the boss.

Top notch mechanic that is!

The result of all this child like Duh?, from people who are supposed to be adults, is that you end up with a banana republic.

@JTT,
What exactly do you mean by "banana republic"? I think your usage here isn't the dictionary usage.

@JTT,


Sometimes I think Obama the manchild wants this country
to be nothing more than his personal banana republic.

No rule of law, Infra. The highest officials commit felony after felony, war crime after war crime and the citizenry think it a good idea not to push them on their perfidy.

If it's not within the best interest of a "banana republic" then why in the world would it subject itself to the "rule of law?"

You've just reiterated what I said. The idea, maybe the word, ideal, is better, is that the US follow the rule of law.

She said it, "My views are clear." Love it when hate rhetoric comes back to bite someone in the ass! Everyone should be very afraid of this deranged individual.

Surely you don't mean Michelle, JC.

You know, conservative really doesn't have to include a whole lot of stupid in the recipe, but for so many of them, that how they always bake their cake.

I know, that's what amazes me. So many prominent American conservatives are stupid. I hated the Thatch, but I never thought she was stupid. Reagan, Dubya, Palin and Bachmman however, are another matter.

Sure, for everyone else except the banana republic.

But then, it wouldn't be a banana republic.

If the goal is to be a banana republic--the point of power whereby a nation can skirt the rule of law with impunity--then it would be self-defeating to subject itself to the rule of law.

And yeah, it would be ideal if nations didn't aspire to that kind of power, but that isn't the way the world works, it never has been, and it will never be, but I don't have to tell you that, right.

@jcboy,
I did love it when Butters had to 'pray the gay away.' Anyway, I don't know what the problem is, if you're gay and you want to get away, you could always try these guys.

So I'm watching a post Ames one on one with Michelle Bachmann and they address her views on atheists and gays showing her ON VIDEO expressing them from HER OWN LIPS.. She is then asked would you appoint a gay or atheist to a cabinet position or supreme court. Of course because her handlers know they must soon start moving her towards the middle if she has any chance of getting the nomination (which I don't believe she does) she is trying to backpeddle and soften her basically primitive fundamentalist rhetoric.

She answers the question "I would appoint strict constitutionalists" which in itself is open to interpretation and certainly subjective.Okay,fair enough. No harm, no foul. Then she adds to that it has to be people who share her viewpoint. When asked again specifically about whether she would appoint atheists or gays she fires back with that exact scripted answer.

Here's what pisses me off. If they just ran VIDEO of her talking about how everything needs to be Christ centered and how gays and atheists are basically just a breath away from the fires of hell at any given moment then OBVIOUSLY those people don't share her view and no chance they could ever be appointed to a damn thing or have ANY sort of voice in her administration. So she answered the question while hiding her answer from the public she's trying to hoodwink. WHY didn't the interviewer take that opportunity to state the obvious and make her say in a one word simple answer that if she won't appoint people who don't share her view then she HAS answered the question and the answer is just plain "No. No chance." Why can't these interviewers from both the right and the left, but more so the ones on the left show some damn sack and used the bully pulpit of GLOBAL television to make these people get to the damn point?

Sorry for the rambling rant. I just can't believe that every one word answer is disguised in 100 obfuscating words and these assholes are allowed to get a pass for it. In fairness, Bachmann of course isn't the only one, this comes from both sides of the political fence.
Yeah.
