culture. and i m sorry, the book of proverbs, pride goeth before the fall. i listened to the sheriff deflect all those questions and not take responsibility for this. it was one deputy there that did not enter and go to the sound of the guns. fred, what we have learned post columbine, april of 1999, in the tactile resolution business of which i was a member for 25 years, you go to the sound of the guns. you don t wait any longer for a homogeneous group of folks to get there. you put together whoever you have and you go and try to interrupt the killing. that didn t happen here. he says as far as he knows, there was not a stand-down type of order that might have come. if there were a stand-down order and that would explain why officers didn t go in, who would that come from? it depends. at that level again, the sheriff is elected, okay, so it s one of the few law enforcement positions you re actually elected, you re not appointed. in this instance it could have
logic and chamber politics, any way to look at it is most logical thing is to go over and then come back to vote to cut taxes. but hey, you know, pride goeth before the fall. they could come up with a miraculous recovery. some sort of immaculate deal and may actually spur some conversations on the margins and maybe get to a voint where they can do something to avert, at least patch this to avaert total economic disaster. sounds like you re sticking by your january 10th pool bet there but from the republican perspective, i have to say the president already going back to the 250 mark, they have to look at that initial offer that he put in, moving the benchmark up to 400 k6 and social security benefit cuts and maybe after the first of the year think we should have taken that to start with and further back, i have to think there are already regretds of not taking the grand bargain
i think you raise the point i raise. i was in ohio, a couple times, with you a couple weeks ago. no one thought by this margin, but then when you sigh the margin in mississippi, these are not just victories, but almost a repudiation of the radical agenda on the right. do you think that maybe the right just overjumped the runway, they might have just gone so far that they ve made people just say, wait a minute, we had better go out and protect the america that we love? yeah, and you re a man of the cloth. you know that pride goeth before the fall. he won by two points against governor strickland in 2010, yet the way they acted is they had a mandate with 49% of the vote, and tried to impose this radical agenda. people don t want radical
pretty thin ice even before these latest questions arose. my concern really andrea was the sort of leaking of material that politico reporters had an expectation would remain private and that was indeed troubling to me and i certainly understand chairman issa s decision to part ways with bardella. he also said, my goal is very simple. i m going to make darrell issa an actual political figure, i m going to focus like a laser beam on the hundred people here who care about this and that s it. he thought he was riding a political wave here. and i shows that pride goeth before a fall. paul begala, he had a phrase during the clinton administration that he was being critical of his own white house. he says sometimes we wear our underwear on the outside.
but democrats have been able to kind of regain some momentum. we knew the tea party candidates initially, that was a civil war within the republican party. we knew when we hit the again election voters, when trying to appeal to independents, democrats would have a shot to win those voters back, and you re seeing races tighten up. j.d., i have to tell you, i did chuckle when i read in the new york times that the republican leaders are saying we only have half of seats we need. is there a little bit of expectations game going on or are you worried? pride goeth before a fall. 1998 we were expected to within a lot of seats that didn t materialize. keep in mind, one, talking about official reported money in terms of the campaign finance framework, a lot of money from organized labor goes unreported, specifically the committee on political education. but even you think the democrats have a lot more money than they re
