CBS’s Schieffer Contends ‘Extreme’ Republicans ‘Holding Rest Of Party Hostage’

Bob Schieffer  CBS’s Schieffer Contends ‘Extreme’ Republicans ‘Holding Rest of Party Hostage’

“Do you all feel that your party is somehow being held hostage?” Bob Schieffer asked Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, presumably referring to those opposed to raising taxes. Touting President Obama as the reasonable one who “has talked about kind of a ‘common sense caucus,’” within the same long-winded question on Face the Nation, Schieffer repeated his accusation: “Are people on the extreme ends of your party holding the rest of you hostage here?”

Not ten minutes later, however, with Democratic Senator Dick Durbin, Schieffer not only failed to characterize Obama as an obstinate extremist for demanding another tax hike two months after Republicans acceded to one, but he suddenly decided: “I think we are beyond arguing about who’s fault it is on how we got here.”

What chutzpah!

    Listen to this bit_h of an old loser man falsely accuses the most honorable members of the Republicans in congress of when in reality, they are simply standing up for what they believe in and for actually keeping their promise to remain commited to what they know is right! For this display of true character, this old fool trying to petend he is a journalist stoops to the level of calling these leaders to be hostage-takers as if they were hum, lets see, who is it that takes hostages? Oh yea, terrorists. What a slap in the face to all Americans who desire to be personally responsible in life at least to some degree! I like to jerk his ass of the stage while the camera is running! Bob Schefer. Go sit down!!!

    I keep hearing that this 'administration' is using common sense, but I have yet to see it.
    I wouldn't call what is coming from this mess in the White House 'common sense'.
    Just as Hillary proudly declared "At this point, what does it matter?"
    And as it was said then "It does".

Speak Your Mind
