Indeed.

Cavuto came off as a j*ck*ss… I’d expect a hack interview like that from the likes of Geraldo. Now commenters here break bad on the kid w/o ever hearing a complete sentence (let alone thought) from the kid before cavuto interjects to demonstrate his alpha status (over a 14-year old).

My goal here is not to attack a defenseless kid, it’s just to reinforce that this cute little act is one supported by a sensationalizing media, and not your average Conservative. I would rather have any of our controversial leaders represent the movement than this kid.

“so much resistance, from behind”

This kid doesn’t do anyone on our side any good.

I haven’t detected that you’re doing him any good, either. For his sake, I hope he’ll acquire a benign contempt for everyone who thinks more of what intelligent youth can do for him than of what he can do for intelligent youth.

He’ll be photographed drunk, canoodling with young chicks, sucking on bongs, snorting coke and generally behaving like a normal kid.

Speak for yourself.

Yes. By all means, keep believing that.
Has your Krohn poster arrived in the mail yet?
You must be so excited!

Laughable and lame response. Unfortunately for you that 14 year old would run circles around you as well.

This kid doesn’t do anyone on our side any good.

It’s clownish, transparent, rehearsed, hacky, and silly.

Kid’ll probably end up being pulled out of a hotel room with two hookers and a bag of blow in five to six years.

Maybe not .. but that I’d watch. You can keep whatever radio show this little twerp is planning.

Oh, and p.s. kiddo .. saying “Okay, look ..” prior to every canned point you make has not and will not afford it any extra validity.

If you’re not a mal-adjusted wingnut in ten years, look us up. Until then, go back to your juice box.

Nothing against juice boxes, by the way .. still love ‘em.

He’s cute and obviously extremely intelligent but he doesn’t have the intellectual experience to articulate a good point yet. Plus, I don’t see how anyone could go through their teens and early 20′s in the public eye and come out in a light good enough for a political career. He’ll be photographed drunk, canoodling with young chicks, sucking on bongs, snorting coke and generally behaving like a normal kid. And it’ll be used against him his entire political career (because after all we like to pretend that politicians never did any of that stuff).

Unless, y’all want him to switch parties and then become a liberal. Then we all will eat crow and attack him even worse.

It’s not gonna happen because of Hot Air commenters. (Besides, have you seen what moonbats say about him?)
It’ll happen when he’s been fully indoctrinated by “educators.” Then he’ll come out as a raging lefty who was “cured” of his once-famous conservatism like David Brock on crack. Just wait and see.

It’s clownish, transparent, rehearsed, hacky, and silly.

This is an argument about nothing. All Jeb Bush said is we need to move forward, Reagan was 20 years ago..that is not antiReaganism, anymore than it would have been anti Lincoln to point out that running on an abolitionist platform might not work in the 21st century.

Sometimes it almost seems like people are looking for things to fight about and when you are in the minority, that is not really useful.

^^^ THIS!!! x100!

(Hi Terrye – long time no see, and as usual we’re on the same page! LOL)

And Jeff Sessions as your chair for the Judiciary Commitee, a known racist. …

athensboy on May 5, 2009 at 7:19 AM

Listen up, athens BOY, you don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about. Jeff Sessions is no such thing, and I DO know of whom I speak. You, however, are amazingly stupid and quite obviously incapable of independent thinking. Get a brain/STFU/DIAF – your choice.

Thank God Specter left and we get Sessions in his place at the Judiciary Committee! (Nevermind athensBOY’s willfully ignorant bleating.)

Re: the kid – yawn. Smart, promising, yes, but annoying as well. He has a whole lot of living to do before he starts lecturing ANY adult on anything, except maybe what the coolest video games are. (And ditto what April said about exploiting kids for politics!) Get off my lawn, kid! :P

And why all the Jeb hate? Has BDS spread to our side and now includes the whole family, regardless of their individual virtues? I understood what he meant; people (Rush, etc.) need to choose their battles a little more selectively. He and some of y’all are starting to just sound shrill, like you hate everyone except the people in the increasingly-shrinking echo chamber. Soooo Reaganesque…NOT.

Wake me up when the GOP (and more to the point, my fellow conservatives) call a ceasefire on the circular firing squad and realize who and what the real problems are – i.e. TOTUS BHO, socialism, Pelosi, you get the drift.

Sometimes it almost seems like people are looking for things to fight about and when you are in the minority, that is not really useful.

Get him an Xbox and a Happy Meal, stat.

If Mark Sanford isn’t on the ticket, expect the GOP to lose again in 2012. Sanford is the only guy who can bring libertarians back into the GOP.
