so make no mistake, if iran achieves a nuclear weapons capability, it will not be because we couldn t stop it, but because we chose not to stop it. senator mccain ended his opening remarks there, then remembered he wanted to place into the record various statements from the obama administration about iran, and it is here that the senator made what appeared to be unscripted remarks about pulling the trigger. time is running out. the deadline is near. robert gibbs, december 3rd. well, we re going to have consequences if they don t turn around. december 20th, 2009, the list goes on and on. of the threats that we have that we have made to the iranians and so far no action. george schultz, my favorite secretary of state in all the world once said, his marine drill instructor told him never to point a gun at somebody unless you re ready to pull a trigger. we keep pointing a gun and we haven t pulled a single trigger yet and it s about time we did. ....
Anybody? i remember back in 1972 the democrats had a veteran in north carolina named lee jordan. liberals dumped him for another man. guess who won the election? jesse helms who remained the senator for the next three decades. brilliant move, wasn t it? primary challenges that lead to defeat in november are bad enough. but third parties are the worst. i have a good deal of respect for ralph nader. but nader ran for president in the year 2003 as a third party president. he won 97,488 votes in the state of florida. al gore wasn t perfect but he sure could have used those 97,488 votes when they did that recount there for five weeks. come to think of it, there wouldn t have been a recount. there wouldn t have been a supreme court decision. wouldn t have been a bush/cheney presidency for the first eight years of this presidency, or that war in iraq. ....
Back to the pac to give them more money, and in fact the firm has not made any money from any other client other than this pac since they ve unveiled this tea party express branding. and there s no doubt about it, this plan has been a wild success, beyond the sort of most ambitious expectations of these operatives. they are in the conversation, both within the tea party and beyond, and they have tapped the tea party for a sustainable revenue stream in a way that many others have tried but have not succeeded. the russo marsh operatives also have been insisting today they believe in the cause. but they have dropped some of their previous policy priorities to fit in with the tea party, correct? that s right. they make no bones about it. they sort of search for where the energy is on the right. in some ways, they kind of have a chameleon sensibility to them. in 2003, where the energy was, they re out in california, was at the attempted and successful recall of then-democratic governor ....
Meaning you worked at least 104 days for the government under bush. but here was palin today. folks, we need your voice now more than ever. americans now spend 100 days out of the year working for government before we even start earning money for ourselves, for our families, for our small businesses. 100 days out of the year. as promised now, politico s senior reporter, ken vogel. great thanks for your time tonight. great to be with you, keith. opinions aside, do i have the actual outline right? the firm, russo marsh have pushed back this idea they re making a lot of money off of it. yes, we received $1.9 million in payments from this pac, which is now the tea party express, but a lost that was overhead, we passed it through to television stations for ad buys, to e-mail list vendors, to rent lists, but then that comes back to them because they re using these ads and e-mails to direct people ....
Indeed that s the result. you find yourself at war with the federal government, you find yourself in a civil war situation. that indeed also is treason. so i think the line is pretty clear, and hopefully these people have not contemplated crossing it and they re backing down. how close do you suppose we got to any of that with, say, governor fobas or any of the other southern governors in the great decades of civil rights reform? pretty close. when you re defined an order of the supreme court and the president has decided he wants to execute that order as eisenhower did with brown v. board of education in 54, and when he started implementing the law and the southern governors started resisting it, it was right at the border. of course they did not use their troops and when the federal troops came in and ushered students in to school, that solved the problem. but it was about as close as you ....
