C-Span: 9:10 Rich Lowry , National Review:ELITE conservatives

[LittleApple81]

have doubts about Bush. But ANY REAL conservative knows that Bush is miles better than Kerry...
Doubts that Kerry is going to win... he just had a very bad month.
Responding to a caller that said Bush was a criminal: "that is the problem with the liberals: hate and gleeful about our troubles"

[LittleApple81]

1. Brian Lamb pointed out that the democratic line was full, the

republican line was empty, international line started to get some calls...ummm, I wonder why?

[Kolesar]

5. I take glee in seeing the GOP in disarray

Their ant army of callers with talking points is so stunned they are just tuning out.

[soup]

17. Would that be actual glee or

subconscious glee?

[Kolesar]

32. yeah, I have less nightmares to prove it! .... eom

[bleedingheart]

29. I am so gleeful that I may have a party!

[LittleApple81]

2. Bush has the gumption (his words) not to cut and run from Iraq.

Answering a question about Bush*'s lack of intelligence. Kerry could write a better essay on world politics but Bush is very smart.

[soup]

3. 'People who think george bush is an idiot

are totally misinformed.'

*Bushism of the day

"This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mential losses."

- At a South Carolina oyster roast; as quoted in the Financial Times, January 14, 2000

8. Hey Richie Boy. Call Me And We'll Debate

I'm not misinformed. Bush is a moron. So are you, Richie. Want to debate? I'll have you crying, under the table, in the fetal position.

Rich Lowry is a buffoon. I know that for sure too. I've read his pieces, and i've heard him speak.
The Professor

[kodi]

42. gac! my words exactly to the tv when i watched that shitbag today

let's rumble, lowery couldn't think his way out of a wet kotex wrapper.

[LittleApple81]

4. Kerry does not have a warm personality...in the Senate he was

not a back slapper (my comment: this is good).
Bush is a lot more likable.
Pollier (the woman suppossedly having an affair with Kerry) said there was no affair. The New York magazine is going to have a piece on this?

[LittleApple81]

6. The present caller: said that if Bush were an honest man he

would have not lied to the entire country to take us to war.

[LittleApple81]

7. Lowery: Bush did not lie: everybody believed Saddam had

weapons of mass destruction... same crap, same crap...

[charlie]

9. "problem with the liberals: hate"

Oh, that's... erm... rich, coming from a guy who uncorked a shitstorm when he mused out loud about nuking Mecca and Medina ("Mecca seems extreme, of course, but then again few people would die and it would send a signal. Religions have suffered such catastrophic setbacks before.") on National Review's blog.

[SoFlaJet]

10. "The idea that Bush lied.....

about WMD's is just tiresome"Lowry says.Too fucking bad."Kerry voted for the war"uh yea on the LIES told to congress.These people lie to THEMSELVES sad and sick

[LittleApple81]

11. Citing Sgt. Davis possible testimony: where he says it was

just the soldiers doing it. Lawry says this is the truth. HASN'T HE SEEN THE PICTURES WITH THE MI AND THE CONTRACTORS??? The one on MSNBC and Olbermann????

[SEpatriot]

12. Can someone just call in and ask him

why he hates America? LOL

[LittleApple81]

13. Caller: says that Kerry has spent his life marrying rich women!!!

and Kerry's wife's parents were part of the apartheid. I KNOW IT WAS THE OPPOSITE and she was from Mozambique!
KERRY MARRIED "EUROPEAN" TYPE WOMEN!!!!!

[LittleApple81]

14. Asked directly WHO IS GLEEFUL in the senate. He is dissembling..

Not openly, but cites Kennedy's remark: opportunistic????
Americans don't want to drown on self-guilt, they just want to deal with it and continue with their lives!!!

[RebelOne]

15. That woman who just called in raving about Kerry's

five houses sounded a bit jealous to me. Also, she said that she couldn't see why people were so infatuated with Kerry. Boy, that lady should go back to Wal-Mart and trade her brain in for a new one.

[LittleApple81]

16. Agree totally!!!

[bleedingheart]

28. Funny how she ignores the number of homes that the Bush family owns

all the republicans can do is point out shallow issues....meanwhile if you ask em about Bandar Bush they run.

[Cassandra]

30. Wouldn't help...

they only sell tiny, sub-standard brains at Wal-Mart.

[LittleApple81]

18. I was interrupted a little bit ago...What was that about Teresa's taxes

compared to Bush*'s?

[SoFlaJet]

19. The republican caller

asks where's the "compassion?"he said he may just stay home in November.Still invoking Clinton"well Clinton did this"to justify anything good or bad.

[LittleApple81]

20. Welfare results: democrats and liberals are trying to obstruct

the efforts to send single mothers to the work force. You know, this is contradictory: they want mothers who can afford it to stay home and take care of their children. Poor mothers must work at jobs where they cannot afford childcare....well, I am depressed enough, I am not going any further with this.

[Bonhomme Richard]

21. They really have a bug about educated people. Big time.

They are more like the Nazi's every day. The only way they can survive is the support of ignorant people.

[LittleApple81]

22. His latest explanations:

The good will of the world because of 9/11 sympathy was not going to last (so apparently then it was OK to destroy it as fast as possible).

The international policy disaster: Powell's fault because he does not defend Bush* enough because he does not believe in the policy.

The outing of Plame: innocently done and it is an anthill made into a mountain.

The Red Cross reports... poo poo.

[LittleApple81]

23. Caller: they should not be BLASPHEMING BUSH!!! WHAT THE

HECK??? is Bush god now?

[LittleApple81]

24. Podhoretz bringing up Joe Kopecnick (the girl who died in Ted

Kennedy's car)... "I would not do this" but is fair game. And I admire Podhoretz he is a great journalist".

[LittleApple81]

25. He says that most of the country was behind Bush* for war. NO! MEDIA

was behind him!!!!

[LittleApple81]

26. Well, I usually listen to the RW crap to know what they think. ENOUGH

He is spouting DOODOO about Kerry's actions during Vietnam....

[Cassandra]

27. He just repeated the recession lie:

that it began under Clinton rather than Bush, which is not true.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. And I Can Prove It!

I've got the published article to prove it. I've also got the published article to prove that we're not out of it yet, either. Both were peer reviewed. Both were accepted to the journals.

Anyone who says the recession started earlier than 2Q01 and ended already is WRONG & WRONG!
The Professor

[Sparkly]

31. What a little toad!!

I can't believe his response to the Vietnam vet who called in. It seems the new line is to mischaracterize what Kerry said ("slandered all veterans") then accuse those who back him up of being "morally complicit" in war crimes they knew of for not reporting them to superior officers!! That was *never* what Kerry and the VVAW were about. It was not about going after the soldiers!! They are going to use this line, accusing those who speak up and going after them themselves, to intimidate them from telling the truth -- "You knew, you should have told." What BS. These jerks will stop at nothing.

[LittleApple81]

33. They even want to dismiss conservatives who dare to think: they are ELITE

conservatives. Thank goodness for these wingnuts there are not many of those around any more.

[kskiska]

35. After smearing Kennedy with Mary Jo Kopechne

and John Kerry with his post-Vietnam activities, someone calls regarding *'s drunkenness and failures before the age of 40. Lowry then claims that what people do earlier in life don't matter in the campaign.

[0007]

36. Tis easy to identify a Friday on c-span

Would love to put a cream pie in Rich Lowry's face.

[LittleApple81]

37. Lamb is a smart person. How does he get rid of the slime that

must accumulate all over his hands from just handling the NY Post and the Washington Times??? Those are, almost exclusively, the "news" and "opinion" sources he cites.
Then he brings people like Midge whatshername, her spawn Podhoretz, the National Review people, to provide "intelligent comentary".
I am grateful to him for starting C-Span...but man, oh man, it looks like it is almost impossible for him to provide balance on Fridays.

[vetwife]

40. I know for a fact he is a R-winged conservative !

C-Span is the most balanced but still lean right.. I am one of the 25 winners and Trust me...They are very republican ! Talk to them off the camera !

[LittleApple81]

41. Congratulations on winning! The fact that I can see things without

commentary during their filming of the Senate/House, Government and civic events, booknotes, etc. has provided me with a lot of knowledge and sources of further inquiry. But I am sorry to hear evidence of the right leanings.

39. I tired to get through..Hey Richey Rich.. Hot on War?

What aren't you dressed up and fighting for Bush and America you hippocrit chickenhawk..You seem to be the right age !

[GoldenOldie]

43. "Gleeful" ??????

Damn right I'm gleeful but not about the war, nor the abuse scandal, the beheading of Berg, nor the death and maiming of both our military and the Iraqi civilians and the loss of our support throughout the world, etc.

I am "gleeful," because the crap is finally hitting the fan and all attempts by this administration and the "journalists," like Lowry just reflect them as they truly are: incompetant, greedy, and the liars and windbags that they actually are. Fair and honest Republicans are waking-up and are finding that the Emperor has no clothes.

The callers supporting Bush and Lowry are obviously ill-informed and apparently voicing what the Lowry, and Limbaugh's spew out on a daily basis. They are probably very nice people but they are unable to deal with all the tradgedy that thier leader has wrought.
