Rachel Maddow ~ Alexandra Pelosi ~ The Party of No! The All New Incredibly Shrinking Rep Party!

[harrier113]

irrelevant dike

[danmol78]

Democrats are DEFINITELY the party of NO! NO Liberty. NO Money (taxes). NO Jobs. NO Houses (foreclosures). NO Savings. NO Drilling (for energy independence). NO Farming (California). NO Schools (unions are ruining them & Obama believes Private School ONLY for HIS children). NO Honesty. (Obama lied his whole campaign.) NO Open Government. NO Protection from America's enemies. NO Rights for the American people (Obama & Dems taking them away). NO Respect!

[sigmundphreud]

GOP=Party of No Socialism,No Gay Marriage, No Government Health Care, No Gun Control!

No more Tax and Spend!

If less is more, give us more Obama!

[sogairborne]

No to Statism is a good thing.

[tbabyyeah]

I love her! (Alexandra Pelosi) Not him (Rachel Maddow).

[VanGoghsEar1890]

Two words.Hilarious and terrifying,These republicans are the most intolerant,hateful morons.They call themselves true Americans.They are nothing but self-consumed,arrogant,racist.­I can't think of any people who are more un-American.All their inane predictions of doom were wrong,wrong,wrong.If the south wants another Civil War we,the right side, will kick their ass again.

[NobleMaN79]

how cute, you think you're tolerant. :)

[kathCT]

Oh yeah, we're so racist that we appointed Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele, Condoleeza Rice, and other women, Hispanics and African-Americans to positions.

[TheGeekyNinjaStudios]

I love how the GOP made all the historic progression in America, and the southern racist Democrats like to take credit for it. All Dems should learn how to read unrevised history, and they might reconsider what they stand for.

[DarkEmergence]

@TheGeekyNinjaStudios The republican party of today is not the same as yesteryear and I think you know that but are pretending not to.

[mandraxmachine]

Rachel Maddow + Alexandra Pelosi are lie spewing socialist trannys!

[TheGeekyNinjaStudios]

amen brother!

[Flex4004]

I am confused? Is Rachel Maddow a female trying to be a male or is a guy in the middle of a sex change operation trying to become a woman?

I have asked many but no one knows!

[perfectbark]

Maybe you should ask Ann Coulter since I hear she just got back from Trinidad after her sex reassignment surgery

[darlingUSA1]

rachel maddow is a decent looking guy, other than that, she/he is a MSNBC puppet who is happy to say what they tell her to for her pay... kinda like a "woman of the evening"....

[KILLAMANJARO3]

they judge a man before he has done anything, they cant handle he is black, typical "reicht wing" way of thinking, illogical. they have helped destory this country by helping elect evil men like bush who destroyed us and bush didnt even win both elections legally!

[frankinal]

dudeman, you are the irrational one and you also come off as very ignorant. There is nothing wrong with hating a war criminal that acted like a modern day Nero, claiming the economy was strong while it was circling the drain.

[Garret00074]

You know, there was a story yesterday that said that Obama was the most polarizing president in history. Maybe he is...The right wing sure does hate him, and they hate him with an irrational passion. And I don't think it's Obama's fault..as far as I can see, he has been concilliatory towards them, he's tried to get them involved in governing the country, he's met with them, asked them for their opinions, he has tried to reason with them.

And it seems unAmerican the way they root for him to fa

[dudeman5790]

oh shut the fuck up. the left very irrationally hated bush and very much hoped for him to fail... I hope you're happy.

[Garret00074]

Happy as I can be that the douche bags are out of power.

Yes, happy as I can be that Dick Cheney has retired. Happy as I can be that George Bush can start working on his book now.

Happy as I can be that Rush Limbaugh is the leader of your party now.

[dudeman5790]

My party? what the fuck party do you think I am? you think because I asked if you were happy about your wishes concerning bush's failure came true that I must be a republican?

[Garret00074]

well, if you can presume that I irrationally hated Bush, then I can presume that you are republican...

Fair enough?

[dudeman5790]

no.

[Garret00074]

That's  your problem asshole...

[dudeman5790]

what the fuck? I'm closer to a Libertarian than a republican, I just think many on the left blamed every mishap that occured from 2001-2008 on bush and for no good reason most of the time. also, I don't think anyone wants the president as a person to fail, only the policies with which they disagree, for example, I want him to fail in putting more strict regulations on businesses and anything else for that matter, I want him to suceed in the war in afghanistan.

[Garret00074]

I just want the policies to suceed. I never, ever believed in Reaganomics, but when they worked, that was fine with me. I don't think economics are a science, they're an art...and different policies will work at different times for differing reasons.

I supported Bush Invading Iraq because I believed his claim that Sadam was close to having nuclear weapons. When it turned out to be a lie, and that the administration had no real plan beyond the invasion, I lost confidence in them. Katrina/end...

[Garret00074]

And certainly disagreeing with the President and his philosophy and his policies are much different than wanting the president to 'fail'....I always want the president to suceed, because that means we all as Americans are doing better.

Only a moron would want the President to fail...

[philh37]

The Republicans will never win being the party of NO. They need to quickly become the party of HELL NO!

[sunnyallthetime]

Rachel, I love you, but you need to reconsider your hairdo.

[dinkydeal]

Do they think Obama hasn't sold his soul?

[dinkydeal]

Is that a man or a women?

[xleax]

I guess Ms. Maddow doesn't know that that a lot of Republicans are fiscal conservatives.. and that the stimolus was all Democrat.

Conservatives believe that cutting spending and tax cuts are the way to go. I guess she, along with most Democrats, does not.

The guest she has on to discuss the GOP is a liberal who thinks McCain sold his soul? So much for journalism.

[trg963]

Re: Reps are fiscal conservatives, Reagan's presidency increased the national debt by $4 trillion and Bush43's presidency increased the national debt by $4 trillion! So much for Rep fiscal responsibility.

And during Reagan's admin Rep's controlled the senate and during much of Bush's admin Rep's controlled the congress.

They had their chance and failed miserably, hence, ergo, therefore they are hypocrites now when they talk fiscal responsibility.

take care, blessings

[xleax]

Reagan's taxcuts were benefical to the economy as they put 16 million people to work and he had more than 3% GDP growth per year.

With Reagan at helm the debt increased by 2 billion (see wikipedia article: National debt by U.S. presidential terms), which is quite big.

And Reagan himselfs was disapointed with the debt he created, however, his presidency was in a time of Cold War so defense releted spending was a priority.

wikipedia: Reaganomics

[Jewrachnid]

And his "taxcuts" and "economics" almost destroyed the middle-class. Well done sir.

[xleax]

"Real median family income grew by $4,000 during the Reagan period "

[billyshake]

You're talking about Goldwater conservatism. I actually admire that school of thought, but guess what? It's dead. I read John Dean's book, "Conservatives Without Conscience" and he was right on the money -- no pun intended.

BTW, "So much for journalism"? Neither of these two is a journalist nor do they say they are. So...what's your point?

[xleax]

Well yeah Bush spent money almost like a Democrat, but his precidency took mostly after 9/11 and the war on terror took a large chunk of that money.

[xleax]

From the clip you can see she just has bad things to say about Republicans and is kind of suprised and offended that not everybody is drinking the kool-aid she's drinking.

If you've seen Michael Steele talk in the recent days he talked about returning to conservative values and that's what you're seeing. Somehow, Ms. Maddow delibretly left that out, because of her need to bash conservatives/Reublicans.

And she's hesitant to say anything bad/critical about Obama. Talk about Bias.

[billyshake]

Michael Steele is convinced that putting people to work "is not giving them jobs." I'm sorry, xleax, but I don't think you should be looking to Michael Steele, of all people, to lead the GOP out of the desert.

[xleax]

Where does that come from?

Democrats think that spending will get the economy back on track while Republicans think that tax cuts and less government spending is the way to go.

If Obama's stimolus package turns out to be beneficial in 2 years, he's a winner, if not Republicans take the House in 2010.

[trg963]

In (2) years, the Reps should gain a few seats in Congress because most Rep incumbents are now in safe seats. After 2006/2008 most of the swing congressional districts went Dem.

However in the Senate, not so much as Reps continue to bail and Dems could pick up 5/6/7 more seats. But (2) years is an eternity!

Dec. 1982 Reagan had a 41% approval rating because of the recession, but voters still blamed Carter for the bad economy and he easily beat weak candidate Mondale in 1984.

[trg963]

Forgot to mention my main premise. I would argue the candidate and money are more important in 2010 than the economic situation. The Reps really really really don't like being in the minority, so it's harder for them to find good candidates to run.

The trends are all shifting to Dems also ie minority voters, young voters. Because of Bush43 the Reps have lost a generation of voters like Carter did for the Dems in 1980.

Ironic that Obama not being on the ballot in 2010 will help Reps.

[xleax]

We'll see what happens.

[harrier113]

she is an irrelevant dike

[payaza2002]

I agree that MSNBC is highly biased towards liberials, and Fox News is highly biased towards towards Conservatives. But guess what thats the media they ALL have biases no matter who the HELL it is that's all :)

[xleax]

Fox News has liberals on all the time. You can't do vice versa on MSNBC. ;)

[DiverseLA]

Not really. Pat Buchanan is part of MSNBC. He's a conservative. Joe Scarborough is also a conservative and he hosts his own show on MSNBC. He's a moderate conservative, but a conservative & Republican nonetheless.

I can't think of one host of a show that's a liberal on Fox News now that Alan Colmes is gone. And Colmes wasn't really a true co-host; Hannity ran the show. Colmes was just a token liberal.

MSNBC has become more & more liberal, and that's only to counter Fox News' conservative bias.

[xleax]

Greta Van Susteren is a liberal but she is a journalist not a political commentator.

As far as commentators on Fox, they together lean right, however, when you look at straight news it's fair and balanced.

The thing with MSNCB is that even the so called 'Straight news' guys and gals are all liberal. David Shuster is a far-left political commentator, for example, yet they try to paint him as a straigh news kinda guy. Nobody's buying it.

Olbermann and Maddow have no dissent on their show.

[DiverseLA]

If Greta Van Susteren is a liberal, she definitely doesn't show it on Fox, so she doesn't count because she's not expressing liberal views. I always see her raising non-issues about Obama to criticize him, just like the conservatives.. They tell her to do this. She acts like a conservative and therefore she is a conservative. I actually believe there are some people on that network that aren't true conservatives, but act like it to keep their jobs. Megyn Kelly being another one of them.

[DiverseLA]

MSNBC doesn't try to paint Shuster as an unbiased news anchor. On his show 1600 Pennsylvania he's always going after the Republicans. And he's filled in for Olbermann & Chris Matthews.

The "straight news" people on MSNBC are straight... they're the regular anchors on MSNBC Live and the like.

[xleax]

They paint Shuster as a fair journalist - he's a far-left political commentator.

Only a far-left person would call Greta Van Sustern a conservative. I guess being a Democrat that's on Fox makes you a conservative.

The thing with Meghan and the like is that they in no way espuse politics, so we don't know who they like. Geraldo is probably a Democrat, but never says it.

O'Donnell once said that Palin accused Obama of being a terrorist.

See: Norah O'Donnell cuts off John Ziegler

[DiverseLA]

Greta Van Susteren is not a liberal. One reason being that she did that interview with Palin inside her home while she was making dinner, to portray her as an innocent hockey mom. All the questions were softball questions, and Greta was trying to subtely take jabs at Katie Couric and others for their hard questions on Palin. Megyn Kelly also has a conservative stance, you just don't notice it because you're a staunch conservative. Geraldo is more of a moderate.

[xleax]

oh I see. Because she's not far-left she's not a liberal. Yeah ok.

I'm not drinking that Kool-Aid.

[DiverseLA]

She panders to conservatives and therefore she is aiding & abetting conservatives. Even if she were really "liberal" deep down inside, that doesn't matter since she's told by Fox execs & producers to pander to the conservative crowd.

[xleax]

Yes it does. She is a journalist that had normal interviews with Palin.

I know what this is.. A good far-left "journalist" should always smear conservatives, or talk badly about them. That's your liberal idea of "open mindedness".

I don't care for it..

[DiverseLA]

It's not the fact that she doesn't "smear" conservatives, it's the combination of her smears of liberals while trumping up conservatives.

[xleax]

What are you talking about? Can you back it up? No.

See youtube video:

Greta Van Susteren interviews Senator Chris Dodd about AIG

She proves she is a journalist and a liberal by throwing softballs at Dodd, and, I think, letting Dodd lie.

[thechriscorr]

Bwahahahahaha! If Fox News is "fair and balanced", than so is the government-controlled media in China.

You're listening to too much Rush Limbaugh.

[xleax]

Where is the argument?

[crea8trix]

"You're an optimist, that's so *sweet*"

"You're drinking the Obama koolaid"

What a condescending, patronizing @sshole.

[KentuckyKid84]

By that, I mean people who (though I don't agree with them) had understandable ideas about government AND respected privacy, personal choice (gay/straight, abortion), and left religion as FAR outside government as possible.

[KentuckyKid84]

The more I see things like this, the more I think John Cleese is right in saying that the core Neocons are incredibly paranoid and jealous of people with some intelligence. Obama came from poor beginnings in Hawaii and Chicago, so he DOES know how you feel struggling to get by. Obama tries to show this, but too many people are unwilling to meet him halfway.

I'm a Liberal, but I wonder what happened to Conservatives like Goldwater and more people like Specter and Ron Paul?

[BeatBuddy]

"I'm a Liberal, but I wonder what happened to Conservatives like Goldwater and more people like Specter and Ron Paul? "

Goldwater himself wondered the same thing.

[Post4now]

Sounds like WHITE FOLKS are not ready...u can tell from the comments here.

[billyshake]

Yeah, go on hugely popular Rachel show -- Rachel the Rhodes Scholar who has much to say about what she doesn't like about the Obama admin so far -- and tell her she's "drinking the Obama kool-aide." Ms. Pelosi, your film may be fine, but you're an idiot.

[trg963]

No Pelosi is spot on, Rachel is naive if she thinks the reps will ever be willing to be bipartisan during the next (8) years of the Obama presidency.

Maddow is definitely drinking the kumbaya kool-aid re: republicans reaching across the aisle on any issue. Snowe, Collins and Specter are RINO's, many more rep senators are retiring ie lame ducks w/nothing to lose and most of the rest are in safe states re: re-election so they have no reason to compromise. And so it goes ...

take care, blessings

[billyshake]

But they're not talking about politicians -- I agree with you on those folks. Rachel is talking about the American people. I, too, do not believe there are truly 'two Americas' in this respect. Pelosi sought out the nutjobs on the right for her film -- like John Ziegler did with the left-side nuts. Pelosi is painting everything between L.A. and NYC (she says as much) to be something entirely "different."

[trg963]

I would argue politicians reflect their constituencies and as we have seen Limbo is now head of the rep party anyways and the rep political sheep are worshiping at his altar ie scorched earth I hope he fails, which is the rep base ie religious yahoo wingnuts.

And the documentary only highlights the speaking lunatic fringe. Again I would argue the majority of the 58 million McCain voters are the silent yahoo morons who reflect the rep base and would never vote for Obama ie the anti-christ!

[trg963]

Continuing, we have seen the rep party under rove/cheney/dubya was based on fear and faux patriotism, since issue wise they were bankrupt. They preyed on the worst of human nature ie racism, which is basically fear and stupidity and false patriotism. If you are not w/us you're against us nonsense.

The hope is older voters will be replaced by younger voters and then Obama's dream of kumbaya may come to pass, but hey at least he is trying lol as the republican party continues towards extinction!

[billyshake]

You're preaching to the choir and much of this, trg. What I'm saying is that I honestly believe, given the truth, that most (not all, of course), of the red-staters would change their views. The Limbaugh crowd -- well I say let him lead the party! Let he and Palin become the leaders and see where that gets them. We'll laugh all the way to an eight year or more majority.

[agentsquirrelcom]

I think an important thing to remember is what Pelosi said about the people in her film. These were the ones who stood in line to see McCain/Palin. They are the die-hard supporters just like Obama had (I stood in line for hours to see him speak). I like to believe there are not two American's but I see it where I live so it is getting harder not to believe.

I am going to wait until I see the film to make any other comments about the film though.

[billyshake]

I'll definitely see this film, as well. Watching those lunatics screaming in the McPalin lines during the campaign was downright frightening, yet fascinating. But I don't think people who stand in line -- on either side, and I stood waiting for Obama, too -- are all that representative of the country as a whole. People like you and I, we care about the issues, yes, but politics is also, in a sense, our favorite sport, no?

[agentsquirrelcom]

I liked how you put that about politics being our favorite sport (I gather you were directing this at me). That is a great way to put it.

I was out on the campaign trail for Obama & saw a lot of the McCain/Palin folks personally while going door-to-door. The fact that so many said how important God was in this campaign yet were so un-Christan in how they acted to those who didn't want McCain in office was surprising - though maybe it shouldn't have been.
