ThinkProgress is leaving Chicago.
Unfortunately, that means we can’t do our regular monitoring of Sunday shows. Let us know what we missed. We’re looking forward to getting back to our regular posting tomorrow.

Howie the doofus almost gave YK and progs due credit for what we’re (if I may be so bold) doing. But, someone better check me on that, I’ve only had half a cup of coffee yet…..
August 5th, 2007 at 10:14 amLook! An entire thread! All to myself and the crickets!
August 5th, 2007 at 10:19 ammy posts aint working this sites gone down hill …….BYE
August 5th, 2007 at 10:26 amSo No posts from Tobey Tall today – looks as though my posts always have problems on Sundays
August 5th, 2007 at 10:28 amsee what I mean
August 5th, 2007 at 10:29 amSo when TP is back to regular service, may we get a thread about the Congress’ free pass to the President’ eavesdropping???
August 5th, 2007 at 10:30 amarthur…
i have seriously wanted to believe that democrats could make a difference, but i was sadly mistaken… from the beginning of the congressional session in january, it’s become horrifically clear that, when it comes to truly upholding our united states constitution, there is no daylight whatsover between the two parties… for both of them, it’s all about money and power…
And, yes, I DO take it personally
August 5th, 2007 at 10:41 am#6 profmarcus, I agree and am extremely sad….Moving on now, looking for a third party candidate……Blessings
August 5th, 2007 at 10:48 amJust a thought: if everyone registered Republican, the 70% could take control of that party away from the Evangelicals.
Imagine that: One Party Rule, where we, the people, rule that party.

I respectfully disagree with that last part. If control of the Republican Party were taken back from the Evangelicals, it would revert back to Corporate America, only they would make it even worse.
Nor do I believe that all of our hopes rest with the Democratic Party, either. Their relationship with Corporate America has gotten a little too cozy for our safety, too.
What we as a nation need to do is open our eyes and stop looking to either of the two major political parties as the answer to our problems because, by and large, they ARE our problem.
GIVE ‘EM THE BIRD,
August 5th, 2007 at 11:10 amVOTE FOR A THIRD!
GIVE ‘EM THE BIRD,
VOTE FOR A THIRD!
Comment by Wayne A. Schneider — August 5, 2007 @ 11:10 am
Correct!
August 5th, 2007 at 11:14 amDon’t paint all Democrats with the same brush. Some like Russ Feingold gave eloquent criticism of the Spy bill that passed congress. This bill sunsets in 6 months. We just have to make the case that it is being abused by the Bush Administration….to overcome the fears of the Democrats who are afraid of being blamed for another terrorist attack.
August 5th, 2007 at 11:15 amAnyone ever visit conservapedia.org?
I posted my views about their web site and had my address blocked. There was nothing profane in my posting. It was somewhat scathing but wow they really don’t like dissenting views.
Whats wrong with those people?
August 5th, 2007 at 11:16 amYou didn’t miss much. Just another Republican Sunday on the two major talk shows, “Meet the Republicans” and “This Republican, with George Stephanopolis”.
At least Mclaughlin is on soon.
August 5th, 2007 at 11:24 amAfter 6 years of bungling catastrophic clusterf$$#ks you’d think these shows might want to show us more alternative guests. Democrats, liberals, 3rd party candidates. You know, normal folks.
But it seems after 6 years of disaster, all the Sunday morning shows want to show us is more of the republican masters of disaster.
:|
so I’m watching “What about Bob” on HBO.
August 5th, 2007 at 11:27 amGIVE ‘EM THE BIRD,
VOTE FOR A THIRD!
The Danger is not who you vote for but who you dont
everyone will vote democrat this election cause they dont want repulsive
what to do is when the democrats are in power start the third Liberal party then take the election…………
everyone is so dissatified with the repulsives that they will not get in for 50 years ……..meanwhile create a third party that will steal votes from the democrats which everyone will be upset with by then cause they have republican idiologies in a different colour
August 5th, 2007 at 11:40 amI’m still dreaming up a ticket of Gore/Clark running as Independents and working with Congress and Senate by solving the issues at hand with whoever is willing to go the way of reason. Party affiliation wouldn’t matter.
Dreaming…sigh
August 5th, 2007 at 11:44 amTobey Tall,
Republicans wont get back in for 50 years?
Don’t ever underestimate the ignorance of the American people or the drive, power and might of the right.
I’m not a fan, but they control more and more of every aspect of our lives from the benches to the pulpits the masses are spoon fed conservative lies day in and day out to the point that most sheeple believe that for example the media is biased toward liberals, which we know is not the case, but even in that lie they brainwash and distort to move people further to the right, and it’s working very effectively.
This country is in peril.
August 5th, 2007 at 11:54 amWatching the republican debate on ABC now, and it’s apparent that they’re playing to a very small base. Every time a candidate espouses a truly hard-core right position, the applause is quite small.
Ron Paul gets the biggest applause calling for withdrawl from Iraq. Probably from all of the newly-minted independents and libertarians.
Tom Tancredo sounds crazier than ever, defending his calls for bombing mecca and Medina.
Tommy Thompson just called the war on terror a “holy war.” What a boneheaded political statement.
Brownback is incoherent, saying we must do better at diplomacy, before Pakistan gets nuclear weapons.
Rudy is claiming that reducing taxes will pay for funding capitol improvements like he did in New York City – and then admits the lower-wage new york City workers were the ones who bore the shifted tax burden.
Two candidates (McCain and Romney) slammed Sen. Steven’s bridge to nowhere…
August 5th, 2007 at 11:56 amNow, Little George is trying to get them on record about the VP’s responsibility.
Brownback is criticizing Bush, saying he’s too weak in relation to Cheney.
Paul is saying Cheney is out of control.
Hunter is saying “we’re all in this together” – meaning bupkis.
Now the Fair Tax is in debate.
Huckberry Hound supports it, saying pimps, drug dealers, and others will have to pay it. *snerk*
Romney’s against it.
Rudy “eliminate the death tax,” “lets not have any taxes.”
McCain is saying Alan Greenspan will save us.
Tancredo thinks tax policy represents favoritism.
E- mail question:
What is the defining mistake of your life – Romney says his pro choice support was wrong.
McCain said his mistake was getting caught taking Keating money.
Tancredo gave some platitude about being born again.
A true chorus of jingoes – except for Ron Paul.
August 5th, 2007 at 12:19 pmgeorge, your father’s a priest…
i’d rather explain it to your father.
-rudy, at the repug debate…
his answer when asked about life changing mistakes…
big laughs all around…
August 5th, 2007 at 12:19 pmi grinned too…
“Jesus just left Chicago”….
Come on back TP. staff, the water is warm.
August 5th, 2007 at 1:01 pmSorry I stopped watching Timmy Russert because he only has guest to use the show to promote their books.
August 5th, 2007 at 2:30 pmLittle Timmy caved in to the Bush Administration because he thought he would lose his job. So rather then represent the people in an honest/non bias reporting Little Timmy just does a suck up one of covering up for the White House. Now the Bob dude on CBS is out spoken an honest. ABC is brought and paid for by the White House. Look to PBS as the only media reporting honest fair news that’s because their independent. Oh notice I said nothing about Fox News aka Republican comedy hour well only the people will like to hear fairy tales listen to the Fox news. Even the foreign media laughs at Fox news.
TP > post a thread on Democratic base being pissed off at party leadership for allowing the FISA override bill to get passed, by Senate and House turncoats.
August 5th, 2007 at 6:40 pmSorry, due to the obvious take over of the media by the right, I canceled my cable altogether. The media has become a fourth fascist arm to our government… for the corporations by the corporations and of the corporations.

Jay,
August 5th, 2007 at 6:44 pmThey seem to have left Chicago by Oxcart this AM. Perhaps they will comply with your wishes after they pull into Washington.
Walt lol > I think the oxcart wheels fell off, so they are trying to hitch-hike back to their TP office. How does going to Kos gathering prohibit putting up a new thread or two? It’s not like they went to Las Vegas and all have hangovers from drinking.
August 5th, 2007 at 6:51 pmWalt > I get tired of having to kick Democrats in DC almost daily. They always act surprised like they never do anything bad. They are like petulent children who need to be spanked.
August 5th, 2007 at 6:59 pmAny one receiving an email with this in the path:
August 5th, 2007 at 8:56 pm“Received: from noehlo.host ([127.0.0.1])”
Should be very wary. To check the path, click message, then properties. Scroll up and if that pattern shows near the top, toss the message or report it to your ISP and then toss it.
Oops, ‘properties s/b “Message Source”.
August 5th, 2007 at 8:58 pmwhat did you miss. Absolutely the same thing that you would have missed on any sunday morning– absolutely nothing. Pure unadulterated nothing!

I missed the stream of controversies over the TV press offerings. Also reviews of the OpEd columns. Frank Rich’s OpEd on the Michael E. O’Hanlon, Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy Studies and Kenneth M. Pollack, Director of Research, Saban Center for Middle East Policy OpEd was very informative.
