It was nice to see Jan Brewer remain mostly civil. Usually you can't get her to shut her mouth long enough to get a word in. She must have had a talking to before the show.

Huh?? Jeb Bush?? Elder statesman?? Really??

It was a bit of a disappointing show. Jan Brewer contributed nothing, Murphy was trying to goad DWS. Thank goodness SHE was there because she was the only one to say anything with real substance. I used to feel Chuck was unbiased but since he's been a more active Tweeter, I feel he's a Republican so it was 3 on 1, which made for a dull discussion.

What a crock so President Obama can't run a negative campaign, NO, just leave that up to Romney.

Jeb would it be a negative campaign if President Obama ads just pointed out all Romney lies and untruths

Both campaigns should tell the truth and not leave a few men that have more money then all countries put together decide how our democracy will go forward.

Isn't it funny Obama is trying to do the exact same thing Clinton did & everyone is praising Clinton, but condemning Obama?

Jeb you are a Bush, your word means as much to me as acid rain. Remember Gore Bush in Florida, that you just happened to be governor at the time.

Fair and not negative by an R's goes so far back we can not remember

She is starting to look like a liberal conservative next to all the other crazies running as far right as possible… that's hard to do.. 3 months ago I would have said she was as far right as you can get… can't wait to see how far right they can go…nut jobs….

We want to see Romney's taxes but this would be consider a negative campaign
We want to know what he is going to cut to give 1% more tax cuts but this would be negative campaigning

Here is more Negativity:

Why is Romney being so enigmatic? I’m sorry but if I have never paid any attention to politics or voted in my life, I’d have a problem with this much secrecy, First he hides records from Bain, Then he hides and destroys record from the time he was a Governor, Then it was/is his taxes, Then not giving more information on which of his bundlers are that gives over $50,000, Now it’s the time he spend at the Olympic, Romney’s Olympic records to be released before election, with cuts.

Even though this stuff has an element of mystery what concerns me more is his secret meetings and closed fund raisers with some of the top most powerful people and bankers in the world. Considering the chaos we had in this country in 2008 and the total destruction of countries like Greece and others, and even though we have passed a bill that is suppose to regulate these banks and people just in the last few months we have seen numerous times that they are still up to their same old things and laughing in the worlds faces. What have these people already done, going to do or have plans to do in the future.

Re: Murphy: "Dems want the election to be about trivia"..."side issues" -- Brewer: trying to "divert the real issues" .

I want a healthy economy, too, but I'd rather have freedom of choice and thought than $; would not want to be a wealthy woman in Saudi Arabia. And if anyone thinks that the Republican Platform isn't important to read, then just look at the legislative agenda of the Congress these last 4 years -- to them, radical abortion, birth control, and immigration legislation is not trivial, apparently. Per their record, the economy is.

Wow, real sales job this week. I have no idea why republicans only watch Fox and whine about the "liberal press". This week goes a bit too far don't you think?? That comforting, calm Jeb telling us that we don't want to be distracted, that we want to focus on jobs and the economy. Please, like this man has any idea.

I will never ever again trust a republican, not even one down the street. The more they try to pretend that last year didn't happen with all those bills nationwide - not jobs bills, not economy bills, but those social issue bills Jeb doesn't think we want to worry about.

Every one of you who tries to sell this as other than what it is, is worse than Akins. At least he is honest(if stupid). The rest are trying to shift and dodge. Why? Is winning so important you are willing to sell off America? All these articles today....these two soft interviews. Please!

i respect jeb bush, for he seems to be a sane republican, however to criticize the president after taking over the mess inherited from his brother seems real funny to me .i do respect george w because he hasnt crticized the president. lets see two unfunded wars 10 years of huge tax cuts to the job creators(where is the beef, i mean jobs)no energy policy, tremendous increases by republicans on deficit spending no regulations on wall street, a congress led by leaders who do nothing , crisis in europe, voter supression by state republican general assemblies, wackos primary presidential candidates..... and you blame this president?

The GOP puts much stock on their "Christian Values Platform" argument, although there are "MANY" Democrats that are devout Christians (Catholics, Lutherans, Methodist, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Unitarians, Adventist and the Jewish People) the Democratic Party is "AFRAID" to use Christianity and the Bible to back up their views. The Bible and Jesus were very very liberal by today's standards. I am an Independent, Catholic, former Republican and would like to help President Obama win re-election. So I compiled my own set of Christian Values to help the Democratic Party backup some of their "VALUES" and these "Christian Values" are curiously missing from the Republican Platform:

Psalms. 140:12. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor. (The Social Safety Net, Affordable Care Act)

Deuteronomy. 15:7. If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks. (Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Unemployment, the Minimum Wage)

Isaiah . 10:1-3. "Woe to those who enact evil statutes, and to those who continually record unjust decisions, so as to deprive the needy of justice, and rob the poor of My people of their rights... Now what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the devastation which will come from afar?" (Income inequality, Wall Street vs. Mainstreet, Medicare, Social Security, Regulations affecting air, water and food, tax inequality)

Luke 6:24. "But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full." (Income inequality, tax rates for the 1% and Corporate subsidies)

Proverbs 29:7. The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor; the wicked does not understand such concern.” (Medicaid, Welfare, Unemployment insurance, minimum wage, Affordable Care Act)

Matthew. 6:24. "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money." (Corporate greed and the avarice of the 1%)

Matthew 19:24 “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (Greed, indifference and avarice)

Timothy 6:10. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang. (Indifference to the plight of the Middle Class and the Poor, avarice of the 1%)

Matthew 7:1-5“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. (Social issues, contraception, Gay rights, Minority rights)

James 4:11-12 “Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? ” (gay rights and minority rights and who is a good Christian American)

Galatians 5:14 “For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Religious, Racial and Sexual Orientation Tolerance)

Proverbs 31:9 “Open your mouth, judge righteously; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” (Medicaid, Education, Food Stamps and the Social Safety net)

Leviticus 19:34"You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." (Immigration reform, the Dream Act)

Ezekiel 47:22 “You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who reside among you and have had children among you. They shall be to you as native-born children of Israel. With you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel." (Immigration reform and the 14^th Amendment to the Constitution, The Dream Act)

dont understand how any republican could blame this Prrsident after the previous 8 years?our main goal is to defeat this President not help the country..........way to say it Mitch/

Fox news could be a good forum for D.Gregory..That is where he is heading..Jane Brewer

as guest.Where is the credibility ,I am SHOCKED...

I find it insulting that pussy David Gregory treats Jeb Bush like he's some great, all knowing, political figure that the AMERICAN PEOPLE should evn be listening to him. I know I KNOW it's just a coincidence every time a Bush is in the White House Americans have to suffer through a banking/financial crisis/scandal.

Gregory wants Americans to forget the Bush/Cheney disaster ever happened. Nooo. lets listen to the silver spoon trust fund baby.

2-3-12
Oh oH, here we go again, right war profiteers?
I know it’s a stretch… but for arguments sake lets say Americans can conveniently forget about the 6000+ dead, 30,000+ wounded US soldiers and only GOD knows how many Iraqis and Afghanis. Forget that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove took the good will of the world after 9/11 and turned it to HATE and mistrust.

How these chicken hawks sent our troops into battle WITHOUT PROPER ARMOR or any clear cut plan beyond George W. declaring “Mission Accomplished”. Never mind military strategists didn’t think it was a good idea to get rid of the ONE dictator (Saddam Hussein) in the Middle East that had an IRON BOOT on the throat of fanatical Islam. Remember… the terrorist, Osama bin Lunatic, degenerates that caused 9/11?

Forget IRAN? Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove and Morning Joe can have victory in Iraq when they can stroll through Iraq WITHOUT an armored division and air support to keep them from harm… y’know like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has done several times since the USA got rid of Saddam.

FORGET the TRILLIONS of dollars wasted in Iraq or the 20 BILLION dollars missing or the 175,000 weapons misplaced or all the arms dealers and WAR profiteers that milked our national treasury. FORGET about all the Constitutional VIOLATIONS, domestic spying, bold lying, Justice Dept. bias, Walter Reed, Abu Ghraib, soldiers getting electrocuted in showers due to shoddy military contractor work…

YEAaaaaa… once again, imagine we live in a country where almost half the population is dumber than a tree full of monkeys. These citizens are so damn ignorant they allowed some of the worst criminals in history bend them over and #*~/ them in the *** for 8 years. Even worse these numbskulls LIKED IT so much they want MORE!

MORE of the waste, fraud, abuse, lies, incompetence, scandal, fear mongering, sexual deviancy, corruption, off-shore tax evasion, media consolidation, arms dealing, reckless economics, deregulation, war profiteering, Bush/Paulson corporate welfare, Constitutional violations and a Corporate Crime Wave of EPIC proportions.

IF THE READER CAN POSSIBLY FORGET ALL THAT… then the WORST thing the Bush Administration DID was NOT raise taxes to pay for the WARS, tax cuts for the rich and Medicare Part iDiot. You want to hear about Fiscal Irresponsibility GRANDE?

Instead, Bush/Cheney borrowed from COMMUNIST China and Saudi Arabia (at outrageous interest rates) AND put OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN under the thumb of MASSIVE FOREIGN DEBT!

If there’s ANYONE out there who can explain away Bush/Cheney Administration CRIMES please reply because I’m NOT GETTING IT! Funny how we never heard any complaints from the so-called Tea Party crowd while Bush/Cheney were spending our national wealth like a crack HO with a credit card. I am somebody who fights back against the true enemies of FREEDOM cyberbitchslap.blogspot.com

The RNC in Tampa a good time for GOP, like Minneapolis 2008 most popular hangout was Larry Craig’s airport Men’s room ooolala

Mr. Gregory, when did you decide you wanted to work for NoNewsFox? Having nothing but Repubnuts on the show and not a single critical question. i caught Bush's outragous comments on Medicare and you just let it slide with no follow up, going staright to the next Republican talking point. This was more like a Republican Informercial with you playing the typical straighman to the vacume cleaner salesman. Pathetic puts it too mild. Shameless doesn't do it justice. I'm done with MP.

52% of American voters think Barack Obama
represents the Middle Class? If the average
American wintered in a Hawaiian prep school,
and summered on Waikiki, then yeah, Obama
is middle class. That tour bus he bragged about
riding from one beach to another in Hawaii? The
only thing it had in common with any bus most
middle class have ridden, is wheels. You, I and the
rest of the disappearing middle class will never
approach the level of luxury he rides in, now, on
the ground or in the air, unless they win the
lottery and cease to be, middle class.

Most middle class men are not married to a seven
figure income Harvard lawyer. The only thing middle
class about Michele Obama are the purposely middle
class looking day wear dresses her designers custom make for
her. That's not a dis, that's a fact.

The only thing that's ever been remotely middle
class about the president, is the cocaine habit he
picked up in college that was popular among upper
middle class junior stock brokers in the eighties.

So when did Jeb Bush change his views? Didnt he diss Romney recently? I am looking for it and when I find it I will post the link!

The "poll" result that showed Romney with a 6 point edge over Obama on "change how Washington does business" or something like that. Are you kidding? NONE of the members of the "two" parties (I believe they are really one and the same, no matter what theatre they script and play out for the public) has ANY interest in changing the current system. It WORKS for THEM. They want to retain their perks, wealth, and power. They don't give a damn about the majority of American people--even the immigration issue is a red herring. It is in the interest of the wealthy to have a labor pool that will accept low wages and fearful of registering any abuses.

The only hope the 99 percent have is to break out of the two party system and support candidates that offer solutions, not rhetoric, platitudes and wedges. It really is time to kiss the Republicrats, Demicans goodbye.

Jan Brewer...Really....with all the republicans available at the Tampa, RNC, she was the best you could up with to represent them to the Sunday morning viewers. What were you possibly thinking of?????

Meet the Press LMAO FAIR and BALANCED...just like Fox and Friends!

The media in general want to report sensationalism and will continue to ask questions that they perceive as the right ones to reach that objective. Asking questions about abortion creates a much higher level of polarization within our population than asking questions about the economy, jobs, entitlement programs and then other mundane topics which are driving this country into further debt. A case in point, this Sunday on Meet the Press, David Gregory ask questions five different times about the Aiken issue and abortion. He continued to swing the discussion in that direction even tho the guest on the show were trying to discuss other topics.
