I'm with Mr. Jones on this one!
I don't mind hearing views different from mine – once in a while I even force myself to tune into foxnews just to hear what the crazy people are saying – but the idea of putting Gingrich out there makes me think that any semblance of rationality or integrity left at CNN is now completely gone. The guy who thought this one up should be fired. I will not watch this show and it is just one more reason to tune out CNN.
I'm afraid to say the only person worth watching on CNN these days is Fareed Zakaria. Intelligent, thoughtful, and informed. Call me when CNN gets back in the real news and real analysis business.
I think the Congressional members are young and afraid to lead so they are looking for any way out. If someone had not come to the aid of our country during a time of need the world would be a much different place. We should not forget and Mr. Putin and the Chinese should ask Assad their puppet to leave Syria. That way Syria/Snowden/Putin/Assad/ and the Chinese could have lunch together and leave the free world to move on. I look forward to your feedback.
Can anyone of you tell me how many member of Congress has actually served in the US Military? Secondly of the ones that have how many are retired military. Finally why is the Congress and the American people listening to a KGB Agent/Georgian invader agent about the country's internal affairs. I look forward to your response and feedback.
Liberal Zombies in the MSM are confused about Syria. “must support Obama”, “must support Obama”, “must oppose war”, “must support Obama”. They’re headed for their 19th Nervous Breakdown.
Liberals think for themselves so their heads do not explode if their views do not match the views of the president who claims to be from the same part of the political spectrum. I oppose the strikes because there is no benefit to conducting them but there is enormous costs.
