Shaping the debate? Messaging? McCain AND Graham dominate Sunday talk shows..r

RESIZE: AAA

Interesting. It appears that we have TWO separate and distinct GOP policy groups. One consists of the large, and growing field of WH contenders who are starting to give voice to a well reasoned critique of Obama’s adminitration and its policies. Then there’s the second GOP caucus, consisting of McCain and Graham, who spent most of Sunday telling the first group..how dare they question Obama’s policies overseas, and don’t make the mistake of embracing the isolationist streak that secretly beats in every conservative’s heart. They basically gave Obama cover for whatever he’s doing, or NOT doing, or NOT going to do in Libya and Afghanistan.

Look, I’m a big boy. I get it…these two are the MSM’s favorite Republicans and both are media whores. They’re always going to get an on-air chance to make conservative Republicans look  bad. But there has to be something that the RNC, McConnell, Boehner, Priebus, the WH candidates…somebody, anybody…can do.

Right now, I just can’t think of it…anyone else?

    is that McCain is a semi-senile, doddering old fool who loves to be on TV and hear the sound of his own voice regardless of the content and Graham is younger.

    To watch those two idiots pontificate with a blank check from the media, ( on a topic and narrative generated by the media ).

    Unfortunately, those you listed cannot do much “publicly” as this would just create another wash, rinse, repeat Sunday talk show circuit narrative. BUT… There is a man that comes on the air from 12-3… I predict he will rake them over the coals for this bigtime, probably 2 segments and a parody kicker.

    With luck the 20 to 30 million listener blow-back will create the desired domino effect… If not? Oh well, Back to the drawing board.

    People are just too ticked off at what is going on, and this isn’t just limited to those of us on the right end of the spectrum either.

    Neither Dems nor establishment Repubs are going to be able to “control the narrative” this time around. The more they tell people NOT to do something, the more people will go in that direction. The more folks like McCain and Graham try to give Obama “cover”, the more people will call them liars and traitors.

    That’s just how people can be when they get this irritated, aggravated, angry, upset, etc.
