      At the National Republican Convention in Tampa - Mr. Ginsberg led an effort a totally unnecessary – but largely successful attempt – to concentrate and centralize more power at the top of the party and restrict or shut off opportunities for power in the party to flow from the bottom up. In the words of Morton Blackwell he is unencumbered by principles. I reference the following article for details:

      I have been listening to Charlie's show for decades and always admired Charlie's ability to to educate himself and push back when guests said things that were not true. I was very disappointed to see Charlier not push back when Ginsberg tried to perpetuate the lie that the President has never submitted a budget. The President has had a budget every year he has been in office. Now, did the Republicans work hard to block these budgets? Push the government to the edge of shutting down to keep from passing his budget? Of course. I think Charlier owes all of his loyal listeners a correction on this matter.

      Charlie you ask, 'Where is the Republican Party?'

      More and more conservative on social and economic issues we are told.

      Please watch five minutes of Samantha Bee reporting on this:

      Mitt Romney is a good, clean guy who would do well against a Ted Kennedy type (even though he lost) or a Bill Clinton type.

      However, Obama is a good family man so one of Romney's biggest strengths is not as strong in this particular race.

      The President never had a budget? Did I hear Ben correctly?

      Ben framed the question incorrectly Charlie.

      It is not a question of large or small.

      It is a question of how you get good government like you showed us in Singapore.

      Mr Ginsberg seems like a lovely bloke...

      but really is this the best talent you can come up with to tell the Mitt Romney story? Why do I think you are not really trying to cover this Republican Convention with new insights and some of the new and exciting talent that is emerging right there on the Convention floor... Talk to the Republican Governors maybe rather than speculate about them?

      Oh well, only a few sleeps before you and your Liberal cronies are in your 'happy place' at the Democratic

      Convention - go drink the cool aide and feel better...

      People wonder why America is in decline well the media has a lot to do with it...Sure k-12 education is the problem for the future but the in the real, here and now, of this critical moment for the US a biased, lazy, Groupthink, and stagnant media is a huge issue...

      despite the media and all its power...I believe in the American people and thus Mitt Romney will win the White House and he will do it comfortably...sure he is a flawed candidate but he will make a sound President...Truman was a flawed candidate...Reagan was a flawed candidate...Kennedy was a flawed candidate...and so on!!!

      cheers, richard.
