Re: Everyone Should Give A Listen
You do know she is on the record stating she's not an Obama supporter, either professionally or actually.

Re: Everyone Should Give A Listen
She's extremely intelligent and very good at debating but I'm not swayed by any form of rhetoric, even if I'm in favor of it. I want to see quantitative data. I want leaders to make rational decesions based off that data instead of this perpetual can kicking.

Re: Everyone Should Give A Listen
And she is full of crap on a few of those. Completely.
Where in the hell was all of this "work together" for Bush's last years in office? Where was the work together speech the last 3 years? Now all of a sudden we come together in Utopia and hug in a field of sunflowers? All spin... Drink the kool-aid all you want, hell if that is what makes you happy Ill send you a case of Cherry, Grape, what ever your flavor is. Fact of the matter is that Democrats have no choice but to "urge" by any means necessary to get the right side of the aisle to cooperate. Through cooperation the Democrats will gain: 1. The ability to push Obama's agenda. 2. Republican voters will be outraged jeopardizing Senate and Congressional seats. 3. And lastly in 2016 they want to be perceived as the party of unity. Because right now, they cant get much done, which makes Obama lame duck. And that is not the way HE wants to be written down in the history books. And quite frankly NO I am not an advocate for compromise if it compromises the integrity of our nation, or promotes a social welfare system that further bolsters the pussification of America. |

History will also show you that Bush was far more liberal in his second term. When Obama tells Russia, just wait until after I am reelected and then i will help you out... Thats a big assed "here is your sign". Obama is a socialist ideolog. NOT representative of what this Country was founded on. |

Re: Everyone Should Give A Listen
No compromise. Everything the democratic party attempts needs to fail.
Now, at least one poster here (and we all know who) will attack this line of thinking as partisan. It isn't. It's American. This liberal agenda - this continuing attack on the Constitution - needs to fail. |

Re: Everyone Should Give A Listen
My own personal policy is that if I watch/listen to liberal commentators like Maddow, I have to give equal time watching/listening to a conservative commentator like Limbaugh ... and they're both loopy. Why, oh why, did I click on that link? I knew what I was gonna' get,
She starts to make a point, then goes off into left field with broad, inaccurate, general analogies and smart-alec comments. You know, if I want to be entertained, I'll watch Letterman or the Tonight Show. It's propaganda. |

Re: Everyone Should Give A Listen
Her entire video is stereotypical of the Liberals and Democratic party:
"I say its NO to that proved its NO, I say its NOT HAPPENING so that proves its NOT HAPPENING".... Just like Obama in the debates... "No, that's a lie, you are wrong".. Prove it! Impractically prove it! |
