stevens is going away for stupid bribes but bush cheney and rove are gonna walk for crimes against humanity and high treason? WHAT THE FUCK!!!

[Starteller]

Are there any politicans who aren't corrupt in the World?

[flamablesteve]

I agree.

perhaps its you who needs to read. I DID say he spouted talking points.

And I understand what you're saying about ron paul. he is a man who's opinion I respect. I keep meaning to send a letter to my congressman urging support for HR 1027. Maybe I'll do that right now.

Okay, I see what you're saying now. Thanks for clearing that up.

Stevens maintained his innocence from day one, through and including the verdict. gingrich dumped him because it was politically expedient. Now stevens has been vindicated, and gingrich exposed for the hack that he is.

[TuNnL]

MY point is that Ted Stevens doesn't represent a single "principle" of the GOP! Once upon a time, Republican meant you supported limited government and defending freedom! Stevens pissed all over this principle by securing the most pork-barrel earmarks (a liberal practice) for his state. Do you even understand what it means to be a conservative? You should do some research on Republican Congressman Ron Paul, the most conservative politician in Washington, D.C. A true Barry Goldwater Republican.

You moron, learn how to read. I was the one who said Gingrich DIDN'T spout talking points. It was chiefnugt who said he did. I was refuting his claim with my post.

[jx14aby]

That's my point. gingrich is a political hack that is more interested in advancing his political agenda than standing by principle. I wonder what stevens thinks of him as a spokesman of the republican party.

[flamablesteve]

Obviously you didn't.

Either that or your too stupid to figure out what his comment was about.

Gingrich didn't spout talking points about Stevens. If you had watched the whole video you would have seen several minutes of 'talking points' bullshit spouting from his mouth about the presidential campaign.

[TuNnL]

Maybe it would. But if you watched the whole video, you would realize that Gingrich was defending Sarah Palin's decision to condemn Stevens. Neil Cavuto seems to recognize the underlying themes a lot better than your myopic viewpoint.

At the time of this interview, "standing by" Ted would be seen as running contrary to the McCain/Palin team's message of "reform." Gingrich knows that regardless of what ultimately happens in the Stevens case, defending him will be detrimental to the GOP "image."

[TuNnL]

Absolutely. Did you?
