The night focused on Cheney, ex-Halliburton, CEO…and therefore key player in America’s Military Industrialist Complex, which, as you surely recall was behind Iran-Contra andthe CIA’s drugs for weapons to fight unauthorized private wars in Central America. Before that, it was Halliburton’s Kellogg Brown and Root that built the Navy base and Army Depot in Corpus Christi with the help, not of Republican leadership, but Democrat LBJ, to supply Vietnam War. It was in Corpus Christi that LBJ’s Bell Hellicopters were repaired. The old Hueys are now sold to Colombia to help them in the supposed drug eradication program.

Also appearing that night with Cheney and Miller was Corpus Christi Chaplain, Bishop Rene Gracida, a former Navy flier. Jack Kemp former Secretary of HUD was there, front and center, though not part of the program. Kemp’s Undersecretary at HUD, Catherine Austin Fitts, was locked in a qui tam lawsuit which indicated that during Iran-Contra there was a federally back program of narco-dollar laundering through federally backed mortgages.

Zell Miller may have asked that Confederate flag be pulled off the Georgia state flag, but the CIA wasn’t selling drugs in America’s inner city to fund the contras either.

Oliver North’s army was being trained at a 700,000 acre base on land owned by Houston developer Walter Mischer and Coca-Cola Inc. in Belize. The CEO of Coke is an elder at Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta and Zell Miller has a hall named after him at the Georgia Miliatary Institute in the old Georgia Antebellium ccapital.eBrewton’s THE MAFIA, CIA and GEORGE BUSH)

I used to think that conservatives were to my right, and libertarians to my left – but have since learned that there are some issues that both groups support; and the more-important lesson that there are probably very few people who can be defined by a single label.

…people that served with Kerry etc.

That last part jumped-out at me, since there seem to be two very different groups of people who “served with” John Kerry.

The printout he carried with him was nothing more than an internet circulated disinformation campaign (as his assertions have been debunked for those objectively reviewing the issue…).

I am not a fan of Matthews and his self appointed bulldog schtick, but Miller became belligerent simply at the questions being asked, which I thought were justified queries, given the vitriol and bitter manner in his speech presentation. Reading a transcript of his appearance doesn’t do it justice, watch the video.

I didn’t ask what a moderate is! You stated “… but I can see how a moderate would find it a bit loopy”. You thereby imply there is a catagory of person who does not find it “a bit loopy”. How far is that group from the middle, and toward which end of the spectrum? Please elaborate, in simple sentences, as I am so slow-witted.

I can’t count the number of times one of these interviewers asks a questions, and then starts shouting over the guest after he has said two words – never letting them finish a thought

And yet – people continue to appear on these “news” shows, giving them the aura of legitimacy. I have no more sympathy for those “guests”, than I do for someone who agrees to be on Jerry Springer’s show. They know exactly what they are getting into!

I can’t count the number of times one of these interviewers asks a questions, and then starts shouting over the guest after he has said two words – never letting them finish a thought. Unless it is Michael Moore whom they will let sit there and pointificate for ten minutes without interruption. It is about time a guest stood up for themselves and gave them back a a little of their own medicine!

I think it is clear to everyone but you Mike that a moderate refers to someone politically close to the very middle of liberal and conservative. However, a more exacting interpretation might be persons considering themselves to be swing voters in this election.

A moderate, as opposed to what, exactly? Extremist? Liberal? Conservative? “Radical” Liberal/Conservative?

I’m happy to state that I “just don’t get it”.

And yet – politicians keep appearing on these shows. Are they forced at gun-point? Are they expecting “Meet the Press”?

I have no sympathy for media-whores! If they didn’t agreed to go on these “news” shows, the shows would cease to exist – and the world would be a better place.

Careful, or I’ll tell you how I really feel!

I think in the long run he gives the Republicans more of an edge than he costs them. From your assessment, it sounds like his speech will brings some votes and his interview will cost some votes. In other words, his net effect may be a wash. It is hard to say, however using that assumption, his impact will be predicated on the number of viewers that watched his speech vs the interview. I suspect that the former is a larger number.

Most normal people would freak out, just like Miller did. All that means is that he’s fed up with the Washington and Political TV dance, and it’s time for him to get out of politics. Which he’s doing right after he finishes sinking his knife into the backs of the Democrats.

Meanwhile, as a Republican I have truly grown tired of the red-meat eating style of discussion that many conservatives consider debate. That’s why I steer clear of cable news and stick with PBS and the main networks. Maybe it’s slick, stylized, and even scripted, but for the most part guests on network shows seem to be making real points and arguments, instead of throwing mud at each other.

I suppose that line is considered “bringing the funny” amongst the mouth-breathing right, but in the real world, it’s idiotic. Save it for Free Republic.
