David Selig, Conservative Commentator, joins Thom Hartmann. The American Jobs Act was filibustered by the Republicans. So Republicans essentially just told the 3 million people who could be put back to work thanks to this legislation...tough luck!

1. David Selig is best described as idiot. That is the nicest thing to say about him.

You can't reason with him, because he will never change his mind.

3. How about creep?

I bet he was the least popular guy in his high school graduating class. He is a blustering loudmouth. How is that for chaining derogatory adjectives. Very effective, isn't it. That's the way he argues. Call people names and talk really loud. People hear you, but they soon leave your presence.

I almost feel sorry for the guy.

And what he says makes no sense, not to those of us who live on Main Street, USA. His talk does not meet the reality test.

4. I agree. His stupidity draws empathy from me. Stupid is as stupid doesn't know he's stupid.

2. Thom Hartmann, you are great.

My only complaint is that many of your guests are conservatives who are willing to lie (easily) to defend the indefensible. I understand and appreciate your desire to show "both sides of the coin." I love your show and I am not sure how you could both, keep your credibility and exclude these people willing to lie endlessly.

Thank you for your patriotism and truth. I am glad it is you civilly debating these "people" and not me.

5. No, Thom, they didn't just prove it

They did that during the Great Depression, if not long before.

They just reaffirmed it.
