by Tommy Christopher | 12:16 pm, October 3rd, 2013
In a contentious interview on MSNBC Thursday morning, anchor Thomas Roberts asked Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus to respond to some of President Obamas just-completed speech, which prompted Priebus to accuse Roberts of using talking points, and to tell Roberts it sounds like Im debating the chairman of the DNC here, Thomas. Thats fine. Im happy to debate you.
Roberts told Priebus that the President says hes willing to negotiate, and asked But why do we need to attach the solutions or changes that go along with the law, that has been vetted by the supreme court, by a mandate by the people reelecting the president and both houses of Congress, why should that be attached to shutting down the government, and as the president is saying, basically writing a ransom note and asking for some type of goody bag in response for Congress doing its job to govern?
Those are some pretty good talking points, Preibus responded.
Theyre not talking points, Roberts protested. Thats directly from what the President just gave us.

Thomas totally made Rinse Penis look like a winey, petulant, blithering idiot. A must watch. Like I said in an earlier thread, I had never seen a worst performance by a National Chair of a political party. He also might not be in his position that much longer.

I think that Thomas guy is great. And, he has a nice, calm debate style.

healthcare.gov as an argument ACA will not work?
This is why the SysAdmins needs to get their acts together and fix whatever is
preventing people from accessing the website.
