Debate co-chair: ´Mistake´ to have Candy
Crowley moderate presidential debate

Politico, by Dylan Byers

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 2/20/2013 6:05:53 AM

Frank Fahrenkopf, a co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates, said tonight that the Commission made a "mistake" by selecting CNN anchor Candy Crowley to moderate one of the 2012 presidential debates. Fahrenkopf, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, was speaking at the Las Vegas Country Club in Nevada. According to Jon Ralston, the Nevada-based political journalist, Fahrenkopf told the audience there that he was proud of the 2012 debate moderators, but added: “We made one mistake this time: Her name is Candy."

Presidential debates are opportunities for Rebublicans to show how completely they will surrender to the Kneepads. I have to see a debate moderator that was anything less than totally committed to the Marxist/Lenin/Stalin doctrine of total annihilation of liberty.

The media should be barred completely from moderating debates. They are not objective nor particularly even well informed. The debates are staged as a Democrat campaign rally and Republicans fall for this over and over again.

This is craziness,one of these left wing hack journalists is as bad as the next. The republicans should insist on someone like Brit Hume or not even attend the debates.

It doesn´t appear that any certified, loyal Republicans serve on the debate commission. For in the past 5 or 6 elections, the Presidential debates were obviously rigged in favor of democrats, especially the town hall format, which is a travesty. As is often suggested by Ldot posters, insist on Fox News hosting at least one debate. Don´t agree to any lefty moderators. Let the democrats whine and cry.

#8 the answer to that is NO.

They don´t think of the affects of their poor decisions have on the GOP Candidate.

They are MORE interested in the appearance of "getting Along" or being labeled as "Reasonable".

They don´t want the Dems on the debate committee to go to the media and whine that the GOP debate co-chair won´t allow certain moderators.

The GOP leaders at ALL levels are weak, cowardly, and timid.

They are the type of people who would ALLOW the University of Wisconsin-Duluth professor print all kinds of demeaning words all over their faces. Without a doubt.

I admit it is probably hard to throw, or even fit Candy under the bus, but she is just one of a long line of bad choices for moderator.

The republicans should get somebody like Mark Levin as the debate moderator. He would have challenged Obama for sure but he would not let Romney off scott free either. At least the GOP should demand debate moderators who have some opposition to the democrat agenda on their records.

It worked out pretty well for the airheaded, half-black Boy Wonder.

Big Mama Candy with her false facts running to the rescue of the skinny pretty boy politician perfectly defines the state of the media today.

The Founding Fathers fought to guarantee the press would be free. Today the American press has spit on the Founders and voluntarily given up its freedom to become a willing lapdog for an incompetent poser.

I don´t think "Republicans" that do these things over and over are stupid; I think they do it on purpose. I have resigned myself to not having a viable political party that represents my views and the sooner we refresh the Republican Party with people who make Karl Rove´s head spin, the sooner we´ll effectively fight back against the communist insurgency that´s currently winning.

How America Lost
Its Four Great Generals
Commentary Magazine, by Max Boot    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 4/7/2013 3:01:19 PM     Post Reply
The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

Corkins took a gun from his backpack and fired three shots at building manager Leo Johnson, one of them wounding the unarmed Johnson in the arm before he wrested the gun from Corkins. On February 6 Corkins pleaded guilty to three felonies: committing an act of terrorism while armed, interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition

FORT WORTH -- For 21/2 years, Germain Gardea kept his wives in the dark. The 38-year-old flight instructor spent weekdays in Arlington with his first wife, Jennifer Saldivar, and their young son. On weekends, he left town for his job as an instructor at a flight school, residing in Grapevine with his second wife, Leslie Gardea, who traveled during the week. To keep the women from finding out about each other, he created fake divorce documents on the Internet and filed his first wife´s taxes, marking her as single without her knowledge.

In a letter to John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, and Jeff Flake, the four Judiciary Committee members express concern that an immigration reform bill will be rushed through Congress without proper oversight in the form of hearings and robust debate. They note that the Gang has “secretly met for months” without consulting

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002. Horne, who has been growing raisins for more than 40 years,

His name is an iconic Democratic brand, he’s forceful on the stump and a prodigious fund-raiser. Besides, somebody has to win the nomination. Of course, there are hurdles. Saint Hillary is gearing up to run, and there will be a scrum among contenders, probably including Vice President Joe Biden, competing just to be Clinton’s top rival.

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

On March 30, three days after North Korea severed a military hotline with the South and announced that South Korean President Park Geun-hye “will meet a miserable ruin,” the country declared a state of war. “The time has come to stage a do-or-die final battle,” an official statement said. Meanwhile, many of South Korea’s youth were worried about something else. A 25-year-old pop star named Seo In-guk had appeared on a popular reality TV show the night before and, in a misstep that quickly dominated online conversations, had washed his strawberries incorrectly.

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
