Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has called for a boycott of CNN and NBC over their planned Clinton and Hilary movies. When it was pointed out that Fox will produce the NBC mini-series he said:

“The big question for me, Candy, is number one, which company is putting it on the air? Who is doing the work? I'm not interested if they're using the same caterer or whether they all drink Diet Coke and I'm not boycotting Diane Lane,” Priebus said.

When Crowley pointed out that a film’s production company includes the “people that write, produce and put together the shows,” Priebus maintained his stance that networks which air the projects should remain the primary subjects of his boycott.

As a strong conservative I can not see myself supporting any of the so called front running republicans.

Romney ended the republican party of me. Romney, a milk toast of a man weak and standing for nothing.

Who will republicans run I wonder, will they dig up the dead rotting corpse of Bob Dole so he can once again run as a moderate? Perhaps Jeb Boooosh so we can have yet another boooosh in the white house?

I still can't believe I voted for McCain I used to be a republican but am not longer, McCain ended it for me.



Read about the standard bearer of the repuke party today The wife U.S. Republican John McCain callously left behind

What a creepy little snail yet these are the kinds of "men" the modern repuke party was to saddle me with.

Among former republicans I know I am not alone and I feel Hilary will be an easy win.

If Hillary runs, the GOP establishment will allow a tea partier to win the nomination. It probably will be Rand Paul or Ted Cruz. Hillary will stomp either of them and then the GOP establishment will use the lose as an example of why the tea party shouldn't be the leading voice of the party going forward.

So where is the hypocrisy? His explanation is perfectly reasonable.

If NBC pulls out of the project and then FOX goes ahead with it and airs it, then you may have a point. As it stands, you don't.

Seriously? You too are looking for a loophole to excuse FOX and are equating a film production company with a caterer?

That's like criticizing drug pushers but not the people who make the drugs.

This is all publicity to get interest in a show, that no one would typically be bothered with even watching. Its a trick to create some momentum and wedge politics into theater...the politicians and news outlets have transitioned into thinking and trying to enjoy movie star status...thats whats going on, they all want to be in your living room and mind as a big star, so they can write books and maintain huge cheers and wOW , look who it is oh my... How much more boring can things get, politics is a stuffy subject to begin with...mostly for nerd types or the very rare good leader.
