So i am watching CNN

[boston bean]

And they got their usual panel of republican assholes and democrats who couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag.

It’s about who is better for the economy and the repugs are going on how tax cuts always help the economy and they went on and on how bush tax cuts grew the economy and how great it was. And how Obama blew it with his responses to the great recession and that there was never a worse recovery.

Not one democratic panelist could find the obvious words of rebuttal. Like..... umm...bush’s policies brought us to the brink of economic catastrophe. Or that not one policy has changed since the rumpass took office and it is all Obama policy that has made the economy strong. Damn. Can we get some better people out there to represent us on these shows.

Weak. I am talking to you Paul Begala and Christine Quinn.

This is how we lost. People who can’t think of the obvious truth to set the record straight. And of course Anderson Cooper just keeps going while the liars from the right spout their shit.

Makes me so gadddam mad!!

1. Plenty of good stuff here.

Maybe watch what the Democratic lawmakers are saying.

2. You explain perfectly why I can't watch that crap anymore.

[iluvtennis]

10. +100

[BigmanPigman]

3. Are you kidding...

they still can't say the words "liar" and "lie". It is always "falsehoods" or "untruths". What a load of shit. Call it what it is damn it!

[Merlot]

8. "Untruth" and "misspoke" are two words I never heard of before

Still can't believe they can't say "lie" or even "falsehood." It's ridiculous.

4. I keep thinking about Will Rogers and his quote

“I am not a member of a political party. I am a Democrat.”

Pathetic. Have these people never participated in debate club? Hell, I did better in ninth grade!

[redstateblues]

6. I think it was "not a member of an organized political party"

[Paka]

15. You left out "organized" in the quote,

which is what makes it meaningful.

[dhol82]

20. You are both correct. My bad.

I will now go and repent for being disorganized.

[Paka]

23. Thanks for not taking my snarky comment badly.

My grandfather who loved Will Rogers, was a hard core GOP used to cite that quote regularly.

[dhol82]

24. Why would I? You were correct.

[Lunabell]

5. Its the mega donors

We little people are screwed as long as there's money in politics.

[pansypoo53219]

7. CNN massaged this as well of course. no sen warren who could answer well.

its a GAME to the MS GNEWZ. suck HARDER ON REAGAN'S BALLS BOYS.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Nor can the DNC scrounge up money for an

Ad against the tax plan. Bet Hollywood would produce for free. So must fuel for clever ads...and nada...what a golden opportunity wasted

[bettyellen]

26. "Progressives" blindsided the DNC with bullshit innuendo and have defunded it-

And then they complain they take money from big donors.
It makes no sense.

[miyazaki]

11. That sucks. Begala is usually pretty good. n/t

[cilla4progress]

12. Watch any of the smarties on MSNBC instead -

Rachel, Lawrence, Joy, Craig, Velshi, Ruhle, Hays, Nicole, and their guests.

[YOHABLO]

13. Could it be that CNN has the say in which Dem pundits they choose? DUh.

[SunSeeker]

14. That is why WE need to run for office.

I nominate Boston Bean to....anything!

[Pepsidog]

16. Its shameful Dems have such poor representation.

[SunSeeker]

17. Well, we have some great representatives, just not enough of them.

Are you offering to run?

We can definitely use more who can rip the GOP lies apart, like this fine representative did regarding the current GOP tax bill:

[Pepsidog]

22. Sure do need more reps like this to speak up and voice the courage of their convictions.

My original comment was geared more towards democratic reps and leaders publicly defending the party on msm. It just seems that the republicans dominate and stear the conversation. It’s nit all Dems fault, look at how spineless Chuck Todd cut Pelosi off at the knees recently on MTP. We need more spokes people like Howard Dean. Dems need to communicate their message in plain and simple language. I loved Obama, but most of the time he spoke over the head of most citizens. Dumb ass Trump as vile and distateful as he is, knows how to communicate his hideous, racist, fascist message so his supporters understand. We just need more passion and a simple and clear message that conveys our ideas.

18. if you are watching conglomerate

owned news, you get the owner's bullshit only. no actual blowback or facts. that's why the joke of a two party system keeps being perpetuated. dems and pukes are in on the oppression of the "working" class.

the failing(us) "MSM".

[Laffy Kat]

19. So true. We are screwed. nt

[Vinca]

21. Exactly right. The truth is there's a direct correlation between Republicans and economic recession.

Every single time they're in office they trash the economy and Dems are elected to clean it up. Trump is riding the Obama wave. Imagine how good it might be if O was still in office.

[Achilleaze]

25. k and r

[Motley13]

27. watch Ari Melber MSNBC 6:00 PM EST

I go back & forth depending who is on
