**Bumped Up. At the suggestion of several Tammy Peeps, I’m bumping this up for those of you who missed it. We’ve got a big day in front of us tomorrow, and it will be a passionate day on Tammy Radio. I hope you can tune in. And if there’s anyone in your family or friends who are wavering or don’t know what to do, please see if you can get them to listen to my show. Maybe I can help make them feel comfortable voting for Romney. 🙂**
That’s what Darlene asked, my peep who is kind enough to record and get my Fox News appearances posted on YouTube for all of us. She noted she liked it, and while I normally try to be gentle with Bob Beckel, this morning wasn’t one of those times. Tomorrow is too important, and reminding people of the truth about McAmnesty is a priority. While for some political hacks, this is all a game, to me and I think to you, this is much more serious. The future is at stake. A vote for McCain is a vote for Hillary, it’s that simple. McCain, of course, is too self-obsessed and arrogant to understand that.
It’s time we remind him and every other MalNar out there that we are still in charge, and even though they’ve ‘decided’ what tomorrow will bring, they will be wrong. In other words McCain is to the Patriots as Romney is to the Giants. Presuming who will win, and behaving as though you already have, can have very serious repercussions.
UPDATE:
Several readers and listeners have emailed me expressing concern about some of the negative and downright hateful comments about me posted at Hot Air within a post which features this segment. For the most part, the attacks on me are petty and juvenile (in other words, typical). Here are a few of my favorites:
Tammy Bruce = Retarded

Yeah, that’s deep. How can I ever recover from that?!
I thought Bruce was alot more moderate than Coulter, you’d think McCain would be a good fit for her?
jp on February 4, 2008 at 2:26 PM
How would McCain be a good fit for a moderate or for me? I’m not a sheeple and neither are moderates. I want this nation’s borders secured; I do not want any illegal alien rewarded with citizenship at any point with the exception of serving this nation in the military, and serving on the battlefield; I want tax cuts because my earnings belong to me, not the government; I do not have contempt for American citizens. McCain does and displayed that contempt throughout Amnesty spring and summer; I should have freedom of speech with the money I want to give to political candidates; I don’t respect politicians who try to assist a corrupt savings and loan czar, McCain did as part of the Keating 5; I want Gitmo to remain open; I want us to be able to effectively interrogate Islamist death cult members, and support using methods that may make damned-to-hell selves slightly uncomfortable.
Last time I checked, McCain and I were not a good fit. Not in the least.
Tammy Bruce came off as not only disgruntled but unhinged.

Damn it I forgot that women are supposed to be genteel and subtle! I’ll try to remember that next time.
Well, you get the drift. And these are the reasonable comments 🙂 Oh, there are a few supportive comments as well, but I’m not surprised. It was commenters from Hot Air who came to this site in late December after another posting over there about comments I made about Thompson. Those ‘comments’ transcended insults–they included death threats. While banned here, I’m sure all of those rather unhappy blog trolls are still lounging at Hot Air.
But for those of you who get concerned about this sort of stuff, here’s an email I sent to Cynthia, and several others, responding to their emails of concern regarding the tone and attitude of some comments over there.
Oh, you must remember how many insecure little men are out there, probably paying alimony and child support to a woman they now hate, and simply can’t stand hearing a woman with an opinion who dares to assert it. Strongly. So they project their frustration onto me, or any other woman who reminds them of their impotence 🙂 Also, quite often, they’re religious ‘conservatives’ anti-abortion and homophobic, and of course hate what I represent.
The difference is, they will go to bed tonight angry, and I will go to sleep feeling rather accomplished 🙂
There are also a lot of men out there who LOOOOOVE McCain and truly resent the support for Romney. When it comes to McCain, Hillary *will* wipe the floor with him. I’m afraid to say it, but it’s true.
So, thanks for the support, but believe me, I’ve heard much worse, and one grows to expect it in this environment.
Cheers
Tammy
My point here, of course, is that anyone can register to comment, and the blogosphere usually provides a terrific avenue for malcontents who like to throw bombs wrapped in the security of anonymity. Personally, virtually every Monday (and usually more often during each week), I get up in front of a television camera and pledge to be completely honest with you. I’m not going to pretend to be a university professor lecturing you about the situation; I’m an American with a stake in the future, a future I care passionately about. As I noted, that will in turn cause any number of disturbed, angry, and usually under-endowed, dateless and miserable men to flip out.
I’m sad to report that apparently not all conservatives are as well adjusted as the Tammy Blog family. 🙂
Thanks everyone for being there and for the support. And remember, it’s already getting hot and it’s just February 4th! We’ve got crap from all the Elites and their establishments (and various other trolls) to deal with and dispatch until November 4th. Hang in there! I know I will.
McCain has always seemed very emotionally fragile to me. He seems to be “one bad crisis” away from a possible meltdown. And coupled with his famous temper and propensity for non-diplomatic statements, I think he is bad news for us. You know the Dems and media are carrying his water because they know the Dems have dirt on him (Keating Five, anyone?). Tomorrow is HUGE.
NICE! That’s another martini I owe you.
I wish you and Beckel would do the show from the same studio one day so you could b-slap that arrogant Pap Romeo India Charlie Kilo.
I saw your Fox gig this morning and you have a new fan and Internet listener! Bob Beckel usually rates a channel change or muting, but you tore him a new one. Great job! My wife and I are registered Arizona Republicans who WILL NOT vote for McCain under any circumstances. I know of many others who feel as I do and simply cannot conceive of supporting this self-righteous jackass! Keep it up——GO MITT!!!
HA-HA!!! GOOD ONE PETERNY!!!
Here’s my military code for Beckel:
“Alpha Sierra Sierra Hotel Oscar Lima Echo”
(We used to use it working for the airlines)
Over & Out 🙂
Actually in the general election Giuliani would have been the toughest GOP candidate. He would have creamed Hillary in a debate.
Heh. I saw that exchange with Bob Beckel this morning, Tammy.
You were definitely engergized. Obviously, Beckel isn’t going to concede that the Democrats want to see McCain as the Republican nominee, because he is easier to beat. That would be giving up their strategy. 😉
I am independent. I voted for Perot twice. the first time he ran Perot got 14% of the total vote. I am one of those independents that many foolishly claim are ‘liberal or moderate.’
I will NEVER vote for McCain. Don’t ask me to. Make Romney the nominee and I will vote for him. I could vote for Huckabee too (love that FairTax.) But never for McCain.
Those of us who became independents for Perot thought we were the new conservative party. Many of us remain independants even after voting for GWB twice.
The liberal media and their polls want you to vote for McCain because they KNOW he cannot win once they start dishing the dirt on him.
I think a lot of people have been hypnotized by the MSM.
McCain is endorsed by the LAT and the NYT: that is reason enough to not vote for him.
If will not get over my disgust of McCain if he gets the nomination: I will write in Fred to let everyone know where this conservative vote went.
Congratulations on a cogent argument delivered with strength. logic, and passion. This country belongs to us, not the establishment media. Fox News would do well to remember who made them number one. You made us all proud to be your fans, Tammy! And you look great in glasses, too.
Brava Signora Tammy.
That’s Italian for
GREAT PERFORMANCE.
Well done Tammy.
That’s polite talk for
YOU REALLY BIT HIM IN THE ASS.
You were fantastic! Every word. I’m not sure I can vote for Hillary in November, but I know that I will never vote for John McCain. I have a feeling I’m one of many conservatives in the same boat.
Oh, and you definitely look great in the glasses.
That’s the Tammy I love! I am voting for Mitt tomorrow, have no fear about that!
However, Tammy, I disagree that Hillary is the same as McCain. Although I do like the Hillary in drag comment, so true if you think about it. Then again, my friends, don’t think about it – could cause side effects!!!
“Don’t patronize me, Bob Beckel!”
Absolute perfection.
Of course, you’re absolutely correct. Since the liberals have been unsuccessful in their efforts to control the outcome of elections through fraudulent voting schemes, wild conspiracy theories about rigged voting machines and crying to the Supreme Court, they have obviously selected a new approach:
Make sure BOTH candidates are liberals!
You and Ann Coulter both have it right–don’t let the opposing party select your candidate.
Heh, whatever was in your coffee, I’m definitely for you taking it again.
LOVED IT!… except for the spewed coffee on the laptop. Marry ME!
Just like my opposition to the “vote for Hillary†idea, I have trouble with the “one of these days you’ll be sorry” thinking that it’s better to elect a Democrat liberal instead of a Republican liberal so the blame will be attached to Democrats for the damage done to the country by liberalism. Let’s recall in 2006 many Republicans thought by having Democrats take over Congress the country and the Republican Party would come to their senses for 2008. So how has that worked out? The country is fed up with Congress but not specifically Democrats, in fact Democrats are poised to gain seats, and the Republicans offered a field of liberals of varying degree for the presidency.
Is this the way Americans should behave–step aside and let the country suffer so our political faction will look good in the aftermath? The more elections we give away to Democrats, the worse mess Republicans will eventually inherit. And then what? The worse problems the country has, the more difficult it is to fix. How are Republicans going to fix things then without imposing draconian measures? It’s a fantasy to think we’ll one day be heroes. What we’ll be is America’s iron-fisted janitor.
Conservatives have a compounded problem in that we are stuck with Republicans who don’t seem to want us any more. If conservatives abandon the Republican Party, Republicans have to become even more leftist to win. It isn’t feasible to form a minority party so we have to get back power within the Republican Party. How do we do that? By sitting it out and watch the Republicans fail so we can jump into the open arms of a withered corpse?
When liberalism fails, be it Republican or Democrat, it is the job of conservatives to point out it is the ideology that failed. We have to take the message to the American people that ideology counts more than party affiliation. We have to apply pressure where we can expect to be the most successful and that is still within the Republican Party.
I don’t want to be part of a plan that depends on America being hurt.
I realized after the show (always) that my better response to Beckel after I had to explain Bravo Sierra would have been then to ask him if he understood Foxtrot Yankee!
foxtrot yankee … LOL
do you think bob enjoyed his spanking?
and by the way … hillary cried again today when she was at Yale University. is anyone else getting tired of seeing this tired act? And don’t you think the islamo-monsters are watching closely for signs of weakness?
THERE’S NO CRYING IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Yeah, Tammy! On behalf of all Americans and all who want and love freedom, Thank you for being you and for fighting for us and with us against the media machinery! God bless Tammy Bruce and all of America the real!
I TIVO you on Fox News every Monday. I just watched this mornings antics. Classic! I thought that you head was going to explode! Bob was really pushing your buttons this morning! It made for entertaining TV though.
This self-destructive purity test, this wailing and gnashing of teeth, has gotten so out of hand. I honestly believe that if Ronald Reagan or even Barry Goldwater were running today, they would be shredded as “not conservative enough.”
Did Beckel actually say, “It’s only an election”?
What color is the sky on this guy’s planet?
“The freeman casting with unpurchased hand
The vote that shakes the turrets of the land.”–Oliver Wendell Holmes
The comment about McCain being Hillary in drag was awesome! Whatever was in your coffee this morning, are you willing to share?
Thanks for another great sparing match with Beckel. The only problem is that sooner or later he will realize that there is no contest, and he refuse to continue to get embarrassed by you. But then again … maybe he’s not that smart.
Whatever was in you coffee, I loved it (Can I have some?). Loved the passion and the intensity. Clearly a “take no prisoners” kind of attitude. As always, it fits you well.
First time I’ve seen the glasses. Very nice!
To echo some of the comments on here…
1) Nice glasses! Makes you look even more intelligent when you rip Bob’s head off.
2) McCain is Hillary in a suit? Considering they both wear suits, I’m not sure that’s THAT big of a stretch…
3) Beckel’s lying about the left not wanting McCain. They want him because he would be an easy target for Obama or (their personal favorite) Hillary to knock off. Hillary against anybody with an inkling of what Republicans stand for would get crushed. Obama? Probably the same result.
4) Thank you for saying McCain should drop out and let the battle for the nomination be between Romney and Huckabuck.
And now something that came up completely unrelated to the appearance this morning. Tammy, you look and sound just like Cassandra Cain from the new “Battlestar Galactica.” Same look, same vocal timbre, everything. And I’ve even taken the liberty of coming up with a new stinger. 🙂
Tammy Bruce. She’s a chick with a Battlestar and a microphone!
Actually, “Foxtrot Yankee” would have been over his fat head. I would have gone with the more phonetic “Foxtrot Uniform”.
Know your opponent…”It’s only an election! DURRRR…”.
Tammy Bruce = Retarded
Chakra Hammer on February 4, 2008 at 2:20 PM
FYI…this guy/gal is a troll.
Most everyone at HA would to see him/her banned.
It was commenters from Hot Air who came to this site in late December after another posting over there about comments I made about Thompson.
Yeah…I caught some grief commentors when I posted this recently.
Frankly, I thought it was spot on.
Hi TUA, yeah, I’m not surprised. Generally, the conversation over there is pretty civilized, the comments just get pretty ugly on people sometimes, beyond the issues. It’s weird.
There are also a lot of men out there who LOOOOOVE McCain and truly resent the support for Romney.
I’ve also noticed there’s a distinct BoyCrush/FanBoy element to some males’ fondness for McCain. Their feelings seem to be, ‘If I ever choose to grow up, I’d wanna be just like himmm‘.
they’re religious ‘conservatives’ anti-abortion and homophobic, and of course hate what I represent.
That’s interesting. My impression has been very different. While I’ve certainly met & seen that type of MalNar (Mel Gibson, for example, seems to be like that), the most misogynistic males I’ve ever met are the anti-religious MalNar types. Look at some of the comments made at HotAir about Ann Coulter after her recent ‘I’d vote for Hillary over McCain’ interviews, & you’ll see some of them. A certain person who works at HotAir & is a devout Atheist (& ‘agnostic’ about abortion) comes to mind, including his talking about having a robot girlfriend. He & his bros at HotAir remind me of this creepy guy:

(Btw, notice the lovely comments about this clip at YT. Many ‘conservative’ males think misogyny is a feminist-perpetuated myth. Uh, newsflash, guys. It’s not.)
Oof. I forgot to say ‘Well done, Tammy!’ in my earlier post. This FNC appearance was a classic. And I love the glasses. They made you look rather professorial (and you certainly took BB to school :D). Go Mitt!
That’s the passion I’ve been waiting for from my paisana!!!! After that exchange when I saw Beckel’s face, I instantly heard Cosell’s voice saying “DOWN GOES FRA-ZHUH, DOWN GOES FRA-ZHUH!!!” MOLTO BENNE!!!
Anyone that can quote Howard Cosell is alright in MY book! 😉
The one thing those moronic commentors over at Hot Air prove is that the Left does not own the monopoly on single-file lemmings. A pox on them.
