From last thread, re: no Iran mention due to the rebuttal already having been written.
"Which shows she isn't fit for higher office. She stuck to the propaganda (that was generally in SCOAMT's favor) set piece instead of responding to the fact the situation had changed." Haley showed me all I need to know. Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette at January 13, 2016 03:47 PM (GDulk) 34

Someone pointed out somewhere else .... they understood the JEF not mentioning the 10 sailors captured and sticking to his prepared speech. That Haley didn't mention them in her rebuttal is kinda jarring. I guess since Trump didn't do it, no big deal?

Leadership is not having the courage to name names and then when called on it say you didn't name the person you intended to insult. And it wasn't him it was someone else who you don't name either, and anyway it was just a general comment and if the shoe fits, we'll find someone who wasn't even there. Because all you little people are too sensitive and should just lighten up because it was all just general campaign rhetoric that doesn't mean anything because everybody does it.

We need to be responsible in our message ... what do you mean "we"?
Your irresponsible message Nikki, was to not vote for Trump, the "people's choice", and to trash talk him. Isn't it irresponsible to not take to task this treasonous administration at every turn? And to do so in a way that rallies the average American that recognizes how criminal the DC cartel is? Mark Steyn was praising the Trump rally for how much fun it was ... not how much hate there was. Mark scoffed at the accusations that Trump was really confiscating the guys coat. He said that is what we in the business call "a joke". But Nikki is all business I guess ... whose business? Posted by: Illiniwek at January 13, 2016 03:51 PM (5Gpe2) 60
How inept, or mendacious, or stupid do you have to be to be "misinterpreted" the way this was, given the context, the situation of the country, the outlandishly bad state of things in the country? It's easy to forget, in a time of such small, unfit people dominating public life, that the literally unbelievable state of the Dems distracts or masks how mediocre- or worse - the "stars" of the GOP are. But it is hilarious, the reference to Rubio's amnesty support, and the go-around this could lead to. One histrionically inept and non-credible GOP star wrestling artlessly with another. Over the policy only the clownish outsider has forced onto the table. Posted by: rhomboid at January 13, 2016 03:51 PM (QDnY+) 61

I didn't watch her speech, but I just read the transcript.
It's awful in one way: It doesn't even mention Obama's open disregard for the rule of law. It glosses over his multiple catastrophes as "failures" -- psst, hey stupid, they're not failures for him, he meant to do that shit. And her speech actually spends its first several lines flattering the Asshole-in-Chief. But: Where does she go after Trump? I don't see that anywhere. Can someone point out the specific line? Because most of the speech is just anodyne inoffensive boilerplate mush. Was it this? "Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume." Um, OK; that's got everyone all worked up? What am I missing?

It's impossible to change that law, it's never been done before ever in the history of the country ever, and that just accepting the decline into a third world country should be celebrated by standing up their like a fucking squishy turd.

Posted by: Baron Von Ottomatic at January 13, 2016 03:49 PM (IHtOI) The function of conservative politicians is not to BE conservative, but to ACT conservative. In our present dark age, this translates to stomping about kicking everyone in the balls, lashing them with a whip, and knocking over their money changing tables. Then, the next morning, firing them, and then nuking the moon for good measure. Can we all agree that these are the things that need to happen? And that academic exercises in ideological purity aren't going to put welts on the faces of the liars and thieves currently occupying our most sacred institutions?

Just about everyone else here is. You can tell when some politician does something stupid and people flip out.

ThePrimordial @ 87: Can you tell me the specific lines that put all of that sand in everyone's vaginas?
I went over this exact thing with chemjeff on the ONT just before the servers shut down last night. She took a swipe at Trump (and Cruz). She made stupid statements about opening the borders up and exercising little or no discretion in who we allow in (beyond "vetting", as if that is our only control to who comes into our country) and she quickly backtracked in her speech to lie and claim that she wasn't advocating for "flat out open borders" (though she obciously was or she wouldn't have had to try and deny it right afterwards) ... and on and on. It was pathetic, especially given that it was more of a tag-teaming with Barky and his STFU speech than any sort of response to it. Haley was nothing but a Barky collaborator - nothing new for the Vichy GOP dirtbags. (I have this really cool straw you can use to clean that stuff out, by the way.)

off topic but... seen at weaselz:
A major abortion-rights group on Wednesday criticized House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi over what it called "disappointing and ill-advised" remarks, the second public rift in a year with a lawmaker such organizations have long considered one of their staunchest allies in Congress. In an interview published Wednesday in which the California Democrat defended a woman's right to abortion, Pelosi also said she does not believe in abortion on demand. The interview appeared in Roll Call, which covers Congress. [Pelosi probably thinks you need to say "please"] Posted by: Satan -- tea time at January 13, 2016 04:10 PM (qSIlh) 165

"But: Where does she go after Trump? I don't see that anywhere. Can someone point out the specific line?"
It was the one about loud voices, angry voices, and to resist the siren call of those voices. And because The Donald is shrinking violet, a fragile, delicate, beautiful soul people got immediately outraged and sprung to his defense out of a sense of God-alone-knows. It was a silly, laughable, remarkably ham-handed attack on Donald Trump who essentially blew it off in a throw-away line on a morning show. But in the spirit of these times people went bonkers over it when they should have just shrugged and kept right on going.

How ironic. In her rebuttal speech, she lambasted people (specifically Trump, but yeah, a lot of us too) for intemperate, angry words, and telling us we need to be responsible for what we say.

Primordial at 153: Maybe she went off-script, then. I'd paste the URL, but that doesn't seem to work. I am internet-retarded. It's at Foxnews.com.
Now, I'll take issue with the fact that she had to bring this shit up at all. The focus here should have been on President Shit-Fingered-Midas and the way he's wiped his ass on the Constitution. And I completely disagree with her, and I agree with Trump, that we need a moratorium on immigration "from certain countries". I'd phrase it that way, but I think we're all clear here on what the predominant religion would be in those countries. Islam is a mental virus, and we need to contain its spread. But if I were a politician, and I wanted to avoid giving my enemies ammunition, I'd just say "fewer Syrians, Iraqis, etc." So I do take issue with some things here. But she at least tempers her comments somewhat, with the "must stop illegal immigration" bit. I just don't see where she went full-bore after Trump. Yes, this was a horrible and misguided speech and a waste of an opportunity. But I shudder to think what will happen when someone really does go after Trump. Shit, there will be riots in the streets.

Most people probably didn't care one whit what she had to say but the kick in the face of taking the "rebuttal" opportunity to tag-team with Barky and attack conservatives was just a little too much.

Posted by: chique testing testing at January 13, 2016 04:37 PM (Pby3z) She and the geniuses at GOPe central thought this was brilliant finesse -- wrapping a bitter internecine attack on Trump in a SOTU response will beard it in a loftier context. And besides, they don't have the natural partisan frame of mind to attack Obama. It's not second nature to them. Posted by: rrpjr at January 13, 2016 04:46 PM (s/yC1) 277
That was fast. The blow-back must have been much louder and vituperative than they told her it would be. "Nikki! Just a few nutburgers, some crazies, nothing big. No, no none of your constituents. Just read it, you owe us."

256 It's not about going after Trump. Trump has many flaws.
The point is that her speech was supposed to be a rebuttal of Obama's. It was a huge wasted opportunity. Obama has had all sorts of disasters since the last SOTU.

I didn't say that she DIDN'T go after Trump, I said that "it's not THAT she went after Trump". My comment was plenty clear. She went after Trump specifically.

That speech is what RINOs consider bravery. I'm sure she thought she'd be hailed for it. They'll take all kinds of risks to cut the throat of a conservative. But never the Left, the media or Obama. Never take a risk when it comes to them.

Nikki Haley, the latest example of the Peter Principle.
It's funny how many GOP Governors there are where I say to myself, "Gee, I've heard good things about them, I'd like to see more of them," and then I see more of them and I think, "Wow, they suck."

You've got to love places like Redstate where they're cheering Nikki Haley.
So the establishment trots her out as their patsy to go after Trump. But, you know, since they hate Trump its all hugs and kisses with the establishment types. If it was Cruz they would be blaring the headlines about what a buffoon she is. I can't stand the intellectual inconsistency and downright dishonesty from people like that.

Notice how the GOPe uses people of color to run its kamikaze missions? Sen. Rubio commits suicide for the Gang Of Eight, Gov. Haley falls on her sword to attack Donald Trump on national television. It's probably because the only minorities they truly know are the "colored folks" who serve them cocktails and clean up the bathrooms down at the club. What rubbish.

I meant no disrespect to King Canute. I was merely doing a playful transpose off of the "C" word... oh, and also that Canute was an invader... much like Nikki (Nimrata "Nikki" Randhawa Haley) is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut_the_Great#Conquest_of_England Cheers Posted by: Russtovich at January 13, 2016 05:31 PM (pFXle) 305

Haley is trying to get out ahead of the story that the Spanish version of her speech was different from the English version. The Spanish version promised amnesty.
