Mornin’,BT. Matthews is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to make sure he gets his quota of irrelevant wingnut talking points. I guess Newt and the Iquitarod Queen were booked elsewhere.
Oh, let’s go back to the last thread and argue about what a great guy Nixon was. jesus
Tweety loves Hot Tub Tom.

Wow.
For his comic value.
Obama
What rock has he been hiding under for the last eight years?
Didn’t Dean get the memo?
Only Republicans and small-state Dems are allowed to use the word “non-negotiable”.
Obama
OMG! He’s channeling Junior!
Well, it’s official. The U.S. is no longer a democracy. It’s not even a corporatocracy. It’s in fact an idiotocracy. 54% of the America public doesn’t realize that Medicare is government healthcare. With an electorate so clueless is it any wonder that the healthcare debate is so off the wall?

Is it any wonder that we get the bozos in Congress we do?

Wow. Cool. Thanks.
“I want the President, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to keep the federal government out of my health care, period.”

This is why I never click through.
Ever notice how any progressive legislation, Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, are all called “socialist” by Republicans and many in the corporate media. Republicans fought Social Security and Medicare tooth and nail using the same arguments. Now that the country is made up of nearly a majority of imbecilles their arguments are finding traction. Idiotcracy indeed.
What a sad story about the Lion of the Senate. We all know…but what hope he could have rejoined the debate…Obama should get it done in his honor.
Why do I get the feeling that the breaking story about the CIA contracting out assassinations out to Blackwater is a shiny object to distract us from getting betrayed on healthcare? Squirrel!
You forgot the part about: “Did you hear that I’ll be on “Dancing with the Tards?”
I can hardly wait.
Howard Dean for COS.
Is it just obvious that Obama has not heard about “dance with the one that brung you.” The piece about Jane’s work is awesome in more ways than one.
I found some interesting articles while writing a letter to my congresscritters earlier this week. From my diary post:
“Don’t pre-negotiate away the first real chance for change we’ve had in nearly a century. Yes, a century! The opposition’s argument was the same then as it is now: accusations of socialism and tyranny sponsored by the insurance industry. (See Fee E, Brown TM. The unfulfilled promise of public health: déjà vu all over again. Health Aff (Millwood). 2002 Nov-Dec;21(6):31-43 and Leigh Ann Caldwell on The History of US Health Reform with figures)”
I thought the brochures at the link under “figures” was the most interesting. Some things never change.
only if dr. dean stops lying about healthcare reform.
i HATE being lied to and i HATE attempts to manipulate public opinion. even if people think they are doing with good intentions, it reveals an elitism i despise.
people have the right to be informed — not manipulated.
really great reporting and connecting the dots
Anyone else not surprised with the latest reports about Xe (BLACKWATER!)

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
Thanks. I’ll be sure to watch Amy at lunch. She’s gonna be here in another week.
So who did plot 911… did they ever lay out the evidence or did they just try the convenient patsies in the media?
Since there is ample reason to believe that 911 involved more than the alleged 19 fellas with box cutters, there is ample treason to believe that the planners are still out there,.
peace to you SD.
very cool re amy goodman visit. it is in support of your local community radio?
DeLay is the leader of Al-Craquer in Texas. What else is he going to do besides dance? He danced around going to jail, around the law when successfully gerrymandered voting districts in Texas to the benefit of rethugs. and he should be dancing with Big Bubba in prison! He is one of the most despicable people in America and should be treated like Al-Qaeda! He’s certainly not worthy of being treated like he brings something fantastic to Dancing With the Stars. What makes him a star? Being kicked out of congress? He’s a federal criminal who cheated the American people, and he is not worthy of anyones adoration!
Note how once Matthews asks about the birth certificate, they spend the next three hours talking about BS?
That’s the plan. That’s why the ‘birthers’ exist.
