David Frum on GOP: Now We Work for Fox

Republicans also work for Rush. Don’t forget him or you’ll have to apologize!!!

It is good that Frum is waking up.
The behavior of the Repubs in the healthcare date and their position on the healthcare issues are both reprehensible.
I will remain an Independent, but I will never vote for any of the Repubs now in office. I am making a list of all who voted against healthcare reform and will never vote for any of them, no matter what their party.
Providing healthcare to our citizens is the first priority for a wealthy nation like the USA. It will not make us less wealthy. It just moves us in the direction of more civilized countries like in Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, to name a few. Civilized nations do not let people die for lack of healthcare.
Boehner’s Repub “tantrum of a 3-year old” in the final hearing was sickening.
Why do the Republicans hate the people of the USA so much?

“Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we’re discovering we work for Fox.”

and meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch Rupert is frolicking with his commie concubine Deng Wendi, dining with the Red leadership at the elite compound in Beijing, and running propaganda joint ventures with state-run China Central Television and The People’s Daily (the mouthpiece of the Communist Party). oh they love Rupert in Beijing, you betcha.
“In meeting with Murdoch, Liu, also member of the Political Bureau and of the Secretariat of CPC Central Committee, appreciated the active work Murdoch has done in advancing cooperation with China’s news media.” –The People’s Daily Online, Nov. 10, 2006
Poor Fox News droids, dontcha know you’re getting played? Rupert and Roger don’t care about our country, they just want that gullible conservative money.

Frum has finally figured out that it’s Glen Beck’s party now — which means having anything higher than a submoronic IQ makes one an outsider.

The democrats took a stand for what they believed, not to save their jobs, the republicans can’t even understand what that is because all they know is yelling loud enough to close out every one else.

Proud Native American: You cannot possibly call yourself an independent and yet support this disasterous bill. The states do not even have enough money in their budgets to cover those on medicaid now. Add 32 million people, the states will become insolvent. That is why the some states are now filing law suits to the feds because they know what this bill will do to the citizenry. And it is not republican states. States like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Washington St. are suing. You are no independent. You are a liberal who is afraid to admit it. You should be thanking the republicans. By the way, the term Native American is a falsity. The American Indians crossed the Bering Straight land mass which connected Asia to America 28,000 years ago. This is why American Indian features, tools and language are very Asiatic in nature. Hence, you are immigrants like everyone else. No one race is indeginous to America. In addition, the genocide of your people was taking place centuries before the whites came here because your people are tribal in nature meaning you fought eachother. 500 nations within America – this is why your people did not last. How’s that for being ‘proud.’ Look to the Palestinans or the young people of Iran who live in tyranny, yet fight for freedom – there you will find pride.

The Republicans can all do without a whining David Frum. He’s just mad because he’s irrelevant.
If there is a void in leadership and it is taken over by a few colorful people and a grass-roots effort for awhile.. That could be just the fresh blood that’s needed.
I no more believe in the sanctity of blue-blood Republicans than I do in any type of out of touch elitist (which is what Obama is). The further we get from Rhinos and I-dunnos the better.

Too bad I can’t bet a dollar that most Republicans get so angry reading that article from David Frum that they can’t even finish it. Probably the only commonsense words coming out of a republican and most repubs just can’t let it sink in.

Puhlease! 100% correct

The AP has just reported that the Health Care Bill actually exempts the house majority leaderhip. I am not kidding about this. For all of you liberals, what this means is that those who wrote the bill made themselves exempt from the bill. And you expect the rest of the country to believe that this is a good bill.

The reason a lot of people don’t want this bill is that the Republicans and Tea Party have been scaring people with lots of lies. Government takeover of the health care system, bureaucrats telling you what plan you have to have, death panels, huge deficit spending, can’t keep your own doctor, taxpayers paying for health care for illegal immigrants, go to jail if you don’t pay — all lies.
Lately, the press has been doing a little better job of telling what this bill really is.
But they need to stop calling it an overhaul of the entire national health care system. It’s not. It doesn’t do much to hospitals and clinics, except help make sure they get paid for their patients.
It’s a health insurance enrollment bill.

Nathan R. and A.G. “I’m an independent but I’ll never vote Republican again.”
Well boys, that statement disqualifies you from being an “independent”. You’re just like most other self-described Independents; you’re closet Democrats.

As an a member of the important group of Independent voters, I am repulsed and disgusted to see how the media has played both sides, not only on the healthcare reform bil, but ever since Barack Obama was elected President. You are a bunch of vultures in search of spreading whatever lies you need to in order to win the ratings race. It is a fallacy that this “whole country” is against this reform, or at least, there’s 32 million Americans in favor. Stop spreading your lies. It might be that the whole Republican country — and last time I checked, these freaks were not a country — is against this reform because the truth of the matter is that they still can’t stand that a Black man stole the election from the GREAT AMERICAN HERO, John McCain, and now that the same Black man has fought to make one of his more important promises a reality, and they are taking this very poorly. It’s too bad we’ve lost journalists the caliber of Ted Koppel and Peter Jennings, they would not have played this game. I am not black, and I am honored to have given my vote to Barack Obama — and I don’t give a damn that his middle name is Hussein, so what? And not only will I give him my vote for re-election, I will offer my services as one of the most effective political copywriters in the Hispanic markets, in Florida, gratis to any Democrat who might require my services next November. The way I see it, the Republican Party will never wash off the stain of not having contributed one single vote to this reform, and if you can’t see this, you’re a bunch of idiots with no journalistic judgment. Well, you can’t be too smart — as a network — when you gave Diane Sawyer, a Nixon puppet, the same anchor chair where Peter Jennings sat.

Wow, Truthhurts
I guess you are giving permission for the Native Americans to take their country back…after all, the immigrants (meaning you) took it away from them!
And the Reich thought this wasn’t going to go through….a little arrogant there aren’t ya’s!
I’ll be watching and listening, so when a Reichwing person gets in, I can bash to no end….and you know what, I will enjoy every minute of it. To call me Un-American, yee-ah, right, back at ya’s sweethearts!!!
Oh, I forgot, we have to go to war with Iran first…that’s it, because that is what the Reich is all about.
Mr. Frum is right, you people are just going to sink yourselves. Glenn Beck and Bimbo Limbaugh are giving you the water to do it.

Memo to Republicans and conservatives. Whatever advice David Frum gives you, make sure to do the exact opposite. The man is quite possibly the most politically illiterate individual I’ve seen in a long time.

Somebody should pass a law making being Republican illegal. I mean, they hate all people and all races and all genders. Why are they allowed to exist or speak at all? We should thrown all Republicans in prison for voting against Obama’s legislation and make sure they never bother us again.

It appears that the handful of remaining MSM consumers post here. Still in complete denial.

Nothing new with Frum. Seen it 100 times.
David Frum’s niche is being the main stream media’s favorite Republican because he likes to criticize Republicans. Being a useful idiot for the Left is how he gets attention and air-time. He’s a D.C. version of Levi Johnston.

“Prominent conservative David Frum”
ROTF!!!
First, David Frum is only “prominent” if you live in NYC or the Beltway bubble.
Second, he is a former SPEECH WRITER. He’s not a politician, he’s a washed up, effete, elitist speech writer who once wrote for a Republican and is trying desperately to remain relevant.
Third, he is NOT conservative, he is a RINO.
Fourth, no one CARES what David Frum thinks of the GOP, FOX, conservatism or much of ANYTHING.

All of you who supported this legislation seems to want to give something virtuous to the American people. The problem is, it is vanity. Your virtuous action can’t be paid for. It will bankrupt the country and possibly slide us into an economic depression. At a minimum it will hold the recession in a holding pattern for years. Entrepreneurial activity will practically cease – the perception is 50% of the people comprised of minorities and the poor want the other 50% to pay for them. Problem is the other 50% is under tremendous financial strain, which will not abate any time soon.
I’m not asking you to give up your virtuous pursuit immediately, but to realize the impulse if vain, and, suicidal. How will you help these people if the entire country is now in the poorhouse?
Its going to happen, and Obamacare just sealed it.

What you guys don’t understand is that the repubs that are backing away will be shot (firguratively).
You people have no idea what’s coming and who is pushing the GOP ahead now.
All RINOS, McCains, and edge nibblers will fall …

While recently digging up dirt on fellow democrats in the House, Rham stumbled across a video of Frum playing nicey, nice with an unnamed donkey…I’m guessing it was Barney Frank

More deranged obsession with a freaking news outlet. Frum was always an intellectual buffoon ….

Oh, this is rich and good for a laugh! So what does that say about ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, the WashPo, NYT, etc. and their democrat flunkies?!? The democrat propaganda machine reaches far and wide so it’s refreshing to have a different perspective out there.

Have you seen Frum on TV lately, and not just on the late night stuff nobody watches? He looks disheveled, hair out of place, like he just woke up or is coming off some bender. So he wanted the Republicans to repudiate a basic tenet of their existence–small government–in order to get along? Does really think they would have gotten any credit for it? This is nonsense. Frum is engaged in a very personal fight with Rush Limbaugh (and it must be infuriating that Rush will not mention his name), the Wall Street Journal, etc. and he is losing and he can’t stand not being listened to, so he has gone over to the enemy. An old story. People like Frum will disagree, but I would rather keep my soul than gain the whole world. There is too much money and applause from the lefties for him to care about things like that. This was never a bipartisan bill and nothing the Republicans could have done to satisfy Frum would have made it one.

And CNN,MSNBC and ABC work for the Democratic Party. At least FOX will have an employer beyond November

The problem is that Frum stopped being mainstream republican during the Bush years. The neocon faction is no longer leading the charge in the party and they hate that. Fiscally irresponsible Republicans are as bad as fiscally irresponsible democrats and Frum can go to hell. The reason Fox’s ratings are so good is because their viewers agree with them. Mainstream Republicans think Frum is an ass… just look around the internet for a while and you will find more anti-Frum Republicans than pro-Frum Republicans.

To “Truth Hurts”,
For your information, anyone who was born in this country to US Citizens is a Native American. From your rant above, it appears that you do not know the history of the Kennewick Man either. Also, not voting for Repubs for a long, long time will not make me a Democrat either. There are other parties to vote for in elections. But, from your rant, you appear to be very confused about a lot of things, which would explain your nutty comments.
To “True American”,
Thanks for your comment.

Isn’t it hilarious that the right became the far left so quickly? Using the same rhetoric and becoming weak sauce because of it? lol They lost to Bush twice and I think it will take a few losses for the GOP before they figure this out. You cannot win elections with silly talk and conspiracy theories.

Frum is on target with this one.
The GOP has failed miserably to do one of the following:
Work with the current adminstration to moderate the agenda
or
Develop a reasonable conservative health care policy.
The GOP does not take health care seriously and appears to have sold out to special interests. The current cast of characters did not support McCains health care plan or offer to carry it forward. Instead they choose to vilify what has worked elsewhere with many ‘red herring ads’

Time to make for Profit Health Care a thing of the past… Smile ;-)
