If we really had a liberal media in this country and they didn't rig elections
and gerrymander districts the GOP wouldn't occupy as much power as they
do now.

w and Cheney ran 2 wars off the books and ran the deficit up to the moon but when
President Obama came into office the repugs who had said nothing for years were
now all deficit hawks.

But as the woman said to Robert Reich in the airport (as he handed her a copy of his book and suggested that her husband read it), "Oh, he doesn't read. He watches Fox News."

That pretty much explains it.

Mon Oct 19, 2015, 02:31 PM

Must have something to do with the intellectual bankruptcy of Conservatism.

Ministers in the (hopefully FORMER - our election is today) Conservative gov't are not allowed to talk to reporters with the Prime Minister's permission. Scientists can't talk to the media about the research. Local Conservative candidates do not attend debates.

Basically: Y'all are too stupid to talk.

Your Majority whip should be Impeached, right along with you , it's that simple, for misappropriations of taxpayer funds-------------it's that simple,

$4.5 million could have been used for infrastructure work for example------but you and your

CAN'T stop digging the hole they've created.
CAN'T shut the fuck up.
CAN'T be fiscally responsible.
CAN'T win an election without lying, cheating and stealing.
CAN'T campaign on real issues and must rely on personal attacks and pandering to lizard-brain talking points.

CAN'T endure in the 21st Century with an informed electorate. (Or so I fervently hope)

29. Defending the Corporate Pick
Mon Oct 19, 2015, 08:43 PM
Oct 2015

What you are seeing here, in the most glaring fashion imaginable is the GOP now defending Hillary Clinton because 'Bernie Sanders'. Rather than attacking the pretend opposition, they are now forced to undo some of the attacks they have carried out, pretending that they feel those attacks were wrong.
They feel the Bern, make no mistake and all the other corporate picks are rallying around the main corporate pick Hillary Clinton but desperately trying to not make it too obvious and failing.

Shameless is the single most apt word I can think of.

This whole Benghazi witch hunt is a transparently political waste of taxpayer dollars.

Is there anyone not brainwashed by Faux News who really thinks it is anything BUT that??

I say this as someone who will NOT vote for Hillary in the primary, obviously for other reasons.

They cannot govern and can't even fill a vacant speakership. In a few weeks, they'll try to shutdown the government again. Do you think the country failed to notice? Why do you think national attitudes are moving to the left?
