TPMtv: Sunday Show Roundup: Warring Parties

[bathalax]

steele will run the gop to the ground

[appatel]

Steele is fooling himself. We need viable opposition, not foolish opposition.

And why the Republican are so much against common Americans?

[incrowdcynic]

Steele is a smart man, and I agree with what he says about the role of a judge, but I wish he'd stop pandering quite so much and have an opinion about some of these devisive figure heads in his party.

[SJamesGray]

mmmm....no, the president WAS mocking him.

[k166a]

I don't think Republicans like Steele.

[moua64]

I truly believe that the Republican party is dying. Most of its ideologies are not fit for the 21st century, as least its social ideologies.

[Zaphodox]

Far from it. The republicans will be handed the baton back in 8 years. There is one party with two flavours in the USA, just as in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and just about every 'democracy' in the world.

[Cheshirecatmeow1]

Steele has lost all power over his party and has become completely irrelevant.

[AbbathGS]

Steeeeeelgaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrbbb­lllllll

[hullolife]

Everyone is so busy bickering about "parties" that no one wants to look at the real problem: we have no money.

Damn it...

[slicknickverbs]

Micheal Steele looks like a European with reverse albinism.

[GabrielGrewal]

these guys are both clowns

[PragaSong]

Why is the DNC chairman not black?

[UltraSWG]

"Why is the DNC chairman not black? "

Probably because the DNC has never needed a "Token Black Guy" in their party to show diversity.

[tannersanta]

A group of people that believe in god attacked us, a group of people that believe in god took us to war, and then we invaded Iraq

Aprox #

Death toll in 9/11 is 2,974

Death toll of us troops since 4,294

Death toll of Iraqis since 2003 is 655,000

My taxes payed for that, I wonder how many more deaths my money is gonna finance, I guess we must eradicate that race, because the life of an American is way more valuable that a Iraqi one.

I know there are good Christians and good Muslims still left.

[mgband]

Your comment is the most honest and straight forward one I have read on youtube in months. Thank you for that, mate.

[qwertyman233]

I wonder how many has osama and alquida has killed or what about sadam and his regim has killed? probaly in the millions. so dont judge!

P.S (cant spell)

[UltraSWG]

/// I wonder how many has osama and alquida has killed..probaly in the millions. so dont judge! //

We are supposed to be better than them. We are supposed to be the "Good Guys".

If the Good Guys use the same tactics as the Bad Guys, then how do you tell them apart?

[qwertyman233]

did you not forget this is war! there is never going to be a perfect war were some one innocen does not get killed or injured. and what do you mean "bad guy" tatics do we get the people in a line and shoot them!

[tannersanta]

Oh yeah I forgot we are no better than them........

We are the real terrorist, using the word freedom to disguise our terror acts.

Lets get down to their level goddammit, because this is America, and the american way, and if you don't like it we bomb your ass to hell........

[qwertyman233]

you are pretty fucked up to think like that!!

[tannersanta]

Dude.... I was being sarcastic!!!!

[qwertyman233]

good one! it was beliveable

[Xplosiv08]

Steele is a pussy

[PersonalJesus348]

I could use some feel good legislation... like I dunno Single Payer healthcare!!

[Joe402]

Obama can nominate the zombie of Reagan and the Republicans will still block it just to oppose him.

[Uenbg]

I am compiling some playlists of the highest quality (accurate information) clips I found concerning the Great Conspiracy everybody is talking about. Those who are interested can have a look at my page. It contains 3 playlists (250+ vids) with archeological information and historical data as well as some interviews with ex-illuminati and ex-masons. It's best to start with the first playlist.

Remember that some of the clips contain sneaky misdirections concealed within the truth.

[Uenbg]

There's still a lot of information about human history and the nature of mankind that has been hidden from the masses for thousands of years by secret societies that control the banking system (Rothschilds, Fed, etc.).

But it's all coming out now, just as predicted long ago.

Re-investigate your history and find out what's been hidden from you.

[putittogether]

I the DNC and the GOP are very, very, very bad for America. We need a third party.

[JBeatty17]

There are third parties in America. The problem for third parties in the United States is the Single Member District System that is used. The only way third parties will ever gain any momentum is if we make the transition to Proportional Representation.

[DillonX]

Every day MIchael Steele stays in his postion, the GOP loses votes.

The GOP must kick him to the curb now!

[CarryANation]

Oh I get it - this is a "Black Thing" and Obama just called Steele an Oreo cookie. How racist of Obama. Obama was one of those kids who told anyone who got good grades they were "acting white."

[JBeatty17]

That's funny, because Obama graduated at the top of his class from Harvard. Better do your homework next time.

[CarryANation]

Obviously Obama himself studied really hard - he must have just attacked all the others, to eliminate the competition.

[TedinLasVegas]

That doesn't really mean much. Ivy League schools don't teach much reality anymore.

I bet most of those CEOs that drove their businesses into the TARP were from Ivy League as well, for all the good it did them and us.

[CarryANation]

Hmm urbandictionary says heezy = house for wiggers

Is Obama calling the GOP wiggers? Because if he did, that would be hysterically funny.

[TedinLasVegas]

Empathy has its place; a court of law is not the place.

I deal with "empathic judges" everyday. They kill kids, destroy lives and ruin our country. Now D'ohBama wants to put one in the highest court of the land?

Oh what I would give for reasonable, intelligent and principled judges on the bench. There are far too few.

[CarryANation]

Pro-abortion judges do not *have* any empathy, which is why they rule to kill babies. They are doing it strictly for ideological purposes, that and money.

"reasonable, intelligent and principled judges"

No you don't you want ditto-heads.

[TedinLasVegas]

reasonable, intelligent and principled judges = ditto-heads.

But you repeat yourself, sir.

[WavesAndRocks]

"I'll take Rush Limbaugh, I'll take Colin Powell, I'll even take Tim Kaine. Please, SOMEONE, join the Republican party!"

[MooseOfReason]

"Torture" may not be our policy anymore, but extraordinary rendition still is.

Why does Obama want to leave rendition on the table?

[ZejithThemis]

Another vote for Gregory's uselessness.

Also, republicans don't "know words an' stuff".

They confuse "empathy" with "sympathy" and "marriage" with "matrimony".

[MooseOfReason]

em·pa·thy (ěm'pə-thē)

n.  1. Identification with and understanding of another's situation, feelings, and motives.

[MooseOfReason]

Colin Powell endorsed Obama, so maybe it's a good thing he doesn't represent the Republican Party.

Although, having Limbaugh as the figurehead isn't good either.

[lamouchemorte]

David Gregory is a moron who asks stupid questions. Michael Steele is a minstrel.

[ScoundrelLB]

david gregory is USELESS!

[JayGottiII]

R.I.P TIM

[icancount2one]

Wow, Steele is not a leader.

[ZingZee123456789]

"Outreach program to African Americans, other people of color to come to the Republican party

omg, is this guy stupid?

[JayGottiII]

very...

[musicmsnger]

As much as Steele is kind of a dummy, he's the dummy you love to hate.

[uru86]

Steele is like a tool from the Great Leap Forward, misspelt and brittle.

[toribaltimore]

Some free education to the Republican Neoconservative Party, i.e. the people who hijacked the word "CONSERVATIVE..."

* Stop alienating yourselves and the people unlike you

* Stop demonstrating how "fair weathered" you are when anyone in your party steps out of bounds, i.e. uses "thinking" in his answers

* Actually research your leadership (and pundits)... you guys put so few people in military, yet you talk the most shit about it...

* Be as good as the Democrats, and then better...

[ehkinoh]

I'm not sure if you've heard, but "thinking" is elitist...

Republicans seem to fall into 2 categories of comfort. Either comfort from the appearance that their leaders are just as ignorant as they are, OR the comfort that their leaders are going to make their already great wealth even greater.

[toribaltimore]

Yes. I did hear something along those lines...

For now, let's just call the aforementioned one of the many referential indeterminate products resulting from the gross amalgamation of "genetically" rich and powerful people, sans culture, but with a lot of iceberg lettuce and mayonnaise.

Apropos, these deliciously simple people could appear very attractive, i.e. "down to earth," to a man in Indiana who believes that Jesus lives over the skies of the US and speaks English with a southern drawl.

[ogjimkenobi]

God, it's hard to respect Michael Steele while he continues to bow down and grovel at Rush Limbaugh's feet every chance he gets.

[MozTS]

GOP demented by pain and rage, begins to devour itself

[kelseywall]

Steele and his over-priced suit.

[mutiilation]

just like GOB Bluth

[iamjackscolin]

You're in the business of watering down your message to appeal to the broadest amount of people AKA: LOWEST common denominator

[Smartassawhip]

Why are all these politicians so afraid of giving us their own personal opinions? I think we should get to know where they stand on things as individuals. It seems they are afraid that if their opinion is different than that of the majority in their party they will be punished somehow. I guess they have good reason to be I mean after all we pretty much know they get off on the whole torture thing. I feel sorry for the Republicans.. they are so repressed.

[mikebee02]

Repressing their personal opinions is necessary to effectively represent the ideals of their constituency. Politicians speak for us, not just for themselves.

[TedinLasVegas]

Kinda runs counter to the advice of Edmund Burke, doesn't it?

"A representative owes his constituents his wisdom and his judgment."

A representative should expose thier personal opinions because those opinions will shape their policy.

[mikebee02]

Personal opinions and preferences aren't wisdom or judgement. Swing and a miss, Ted.

[TedinLasVegas]

Personal opinions and preferences are shaped by wisdom and judgment, or the lack thereof.

[mikebee02]

True, but you can cut out the middle man and go straight to wisdom and judgment.

[Smartassawhip]

It doesn't seem to be working very well...because as a group they don't seem to stand for anything.. all I know is that they are against pretty much everything.

[3star2nr]

Michael Steele is such a big douchebag

[carrierexchange]

RNC is dying.

[toosinbeymen]

Empathy ≠ feel sorry. Shocking the Rs don't know the English language. Empathy means putting one's self in the other person's shoes and looking at a situation through their eyes and from their viewpoint. We DO want this quality in a justice.

All the R justices in SCOTUS view cases through their pro business prism and forget about the little guy. They're all activist justices from their own ideological perspective.

[HeathMercer]

I watched the entire Steele v. Caine showdown, and Steele actually came off as the more reasonable one. I assume the RNC replaced him with a robot.

[SkyDaddy7]

WOW?

I have never seen Steele be reasonable since he apologized to Rush for being honest about his moderate views.

However, Steele will be in trouble for saying he would like both Rush & Colin Powell in the GOP!

We will see what the Leader Rush & Newt have to say about Steele's comments...They have already warned him not to be in the media & instead working to rebuild the party as they have said it should be rebuilt.

We will see?

[buffalosouljah18]

And Steele is liberal inside the closet. You can tell he doesn't agree with his party.

[3star2nr]

yup it is painfully obvious

Look at his answer to the torture question.

What the republicans need is a strong leader. Some one to stand up and sy "fuck rush limbaugh, fuck you too cheney, you do not represent the party."

Democrats we want asa bi partisan investigation into the bush admin. Please put pressure on the justice department to appoint a special prosecutor."

They need a leader with balls. Untill such a person comes up there gonna keep going down.

[PoliticalSkeptic]

You don't have to be a liberal to disagree with the current direction some of the leaders of the party want to go in. That is like if the democrats do not want to put single payer on the table you are default a closet republican for disagreeing with them.

[buffalosouljah18]

I didn't say you have to be liberal. It was just a comment.

[Philinspaces]

Poor Steele, Wah, Wah, Wah.

[burntonion05]

I think Obama is playing these clown Repubs. He says he will pick a judge with empathy just to see what reaction he gets and they react by saying they are against empathy. lol the last thing people want to hear in a down economy is that their representatives don't have empathy. I bet Obama is laughing at the whole thing and the sad thing is these moron neocons don't even know it.

[buffalosouljah18]

I agree with Steele. I'm Black and I'm tired of people getting anxious about getting their own race and gender on the chair.
