With all due sympathy for his loss, why in the heck should anyone listen to a kid who's sole qualification for political "expertise" is that his late father was a prominent interviewer and commentator - after retiring as a political hack? This is just necromantic nepotism.

Oh come now...the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

I can't help it...I'm laughing, the wisdom of msnbc putting on a kid who knows nothing yet about the real world telling another party he will never belong to anytime soon, if ever, how they should proceed...

Talk about audicity.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

There is nothing wrong with helping Darfur.We need to put a boot in the UNs butt to get them going.Also there isnt anything wrong with helping those in poverty.Wasnt there a poll showing Conservatives gave more than Liberals to charity?So is that being leftist?What about school vouchers?Isnt that helping kids of low income getting a better chance in life via a private school?If you look at McCain/Palin contributions to charity compared to Obama/Biden there is a large difference.So was that wrong? 

   Go Left when obama ran on campaign themes that were almost to the Right of McCain?  Run Left and you will lose almost anywhere.  Even democrats don't run there.

Had Luke and his Journalist friends done their job, they would be in hiding right now after such a landside GOP victory!!!

Hey Luke, why don't you go to hell? How about that. You will never be the person your dad was. You are just another "winner of life's lottery" who never had to work a day in his life to achieve anything. I hope Obama's tax plan kicks you in your pompous, privledged ass.

You support the troops by supporting the mission! If you don't support the mission, have the guts to say you don't support the troops.

Obama: Not my President. Ever.

 Get that G.E.D.

Anyone who has ever heard Santayana's famous quote about History repeating itself is condemned to repeat it.

Apparently his mentor is....Tom Brokaw!

Luke, do your homework.  The 70's have passed.  These days Republicans who shift to the left tend to lose.  Also, no matter how much you minimize them, there is a significant slice of the electorate who think abortion and gay marriage (along with other social issues) are very important and who will come out in large numbers to vote for a candidate who shares their views wholeheartedly. 

Welcome to the era of unity, you racist!

Heck, instead of moving to the left, why not just disband the Republican party altogether and everyone join the Democrat party instead? I mean, really, if we have to become Democrats to win, do we need two parties?

By the way, didn't gay marriage go down(no pun intended) in 3 states this election, including California, bringing the total to about 30 states that have banned gay marriage? And surely he isn't suggesting military action in Darfur. They haven't attacked us, have they?

Hmmm… we had the same politics/age issue at our place today. 

The 23-yr-old student daughter showed up today for a visit (needed money).  She alluded to her positive Obama feelings and negative Palin feelings.  I noted that we may as well help out with her teaching credential tuition money now….. because our stock market investments are headed in a direction that will be dramatically reducing her eventual inheritance from mom and dad.

That news clearly gave her less joy than the big O victory.  

Luke Russert is just another pampered youth.  Just another wasted political opinion.

Despite the fact that he called himself a conservative, we just nominated and ran someone who is essentially a moderate Democrat for President. How much farther to the left does he expect us to go?

And why should we even care about the opinion of someone who was sitting in a classroom 6 months ago? I doubt he's even figured out yet that his Marxist college professors were lying to him.

Other than holding the line on taxes and Islamic Fascism, Bush was no more "conservative" than Bill Clinton.  Instead we got "No Child Left Behind", another Medicare entitlement, out of control spending, massive government intrusion into the private sector and our lives, and other such nonsense.

McCain wasn't any better, voting against drilling in ANWR, supporting Illegal Alien Amnesty, Anthroprogenic "Global Warming" and "Cap and Trade", and that massive abortion against free speech that made him the media darling before being predictably thrown under the bus for Obama, McCain-Fiengold.

Sorry Luke, we really don't need your MSM compliant advice.  If America wants liberals, socialists, and Marxist, there are already plenty to choose from within the Democratic Party.  What the GOP needs is the next Ronald Reagan.  The GOP needs to remember that few have been fired for being "too conservative".  Yeah, they won't be getting as much love from media types like you, but as history has shown, we really don't need it.
