Today, Fox News’ Neil Cavuto pushed her on her hypocrisy. Schmidt spun all sorts of circles trying to justify her move, saying that she would still “return that money to the Treasury” if she could, but the “genie is out of the bottle.” Cavuto repeatedly asked her how Republicans were any different from Democrats, pointed out how what they were doing was “offensive” to some folks, and hit her for sending a “mixed message.”

1. Wow " Eddie" Cavuto ....you go wolfy .

2. Such slippery, slimey, hypocritical ass holes...

Wow...even voodoo can see the lunacy to their madness. Makes one wonder. Maybe he watched Rachel Maddow the other day when she pointed that same shit out to the bozo on MTP?

7. The hypocrisy is just becoming so overwhelming.

It would be foolish for Cavuto to continue denying the obvious. It would be like claiming that global climate change is not happening, in the face of overwhelming evidence that it is. And who would claim that?

3. I get the point

And I give 100% credit to Rachel for raising a fairly valid point. However, I don't think this is the silver bullet that turns the momentum around for the Dems. Its an easy position to defend if I'm a repub. "Hey look, I don't like the stimulus any more than you do, but if we are handing money out and you are a constituent of mine, shouldn't I get that money for you?" While Rachel has a valid argument, this isn't anything more than a weeks debate. Maybe this is a tide turner, but it isn't the magic bullet.

4. And would she also end the $330B tax cuts and ask for that money back too?

Those are the questions I wish the Dems would stress. A third of the stimulus were tax cuts!! :smoke:

8. What about bush's huge tax cuts for the rich?

No attempt whatsoever was made to actually pay for this giveaway to the top 1%. Did these idiots object?

* crickets *

I thought not. Jerks.

5. LOL. Good luck explaining the concept of "hypocrisy" to a Republican, Cavuto.

6. I can't stand Cavuto,

But he really gave it to the Ugly One, didn't he? What an ass she is. I'm so ashamed she's from my state.

[progressoid]

10. I can't stand either one so...

I'll have to take your word that he gave it to her. No way I'm going to listen to those two this early in the morning. :puke:

9. Very strange to hear Cavuto calling out hypocrites.

11. probably a political calculation more than anything
