Matthews To Todd Harris: You Speak With A Forked Tongue

Chris Matthews calls B.S. on Todd Harris for the double standard Republicans have whereby they can come in with slim wins and do exactly what they want and claim a mandate for themselves, and then expect Democrats to pussyfoot around and apologize for being there when they win by large margins.

Harris replies by saying that acting that way will make Obama end up with an approval rating like Bush. Really, Todd Harris? You think that's what will happen if Obama pushes through a populist agenda against the will of the Republicans?

Dear GOP, somehow you fail to understand that you've destroyed your own credibility and lost your right to play on the offense for the next 8 years. You're on the bench now, and if you're good little bullies, and we might let you play defense once in a while.

If there's one thing Obama shouldn't do it's take advice from Republican strategists. :P

Seriously, people voting for Obama know his ideas and they want him to implement them. If people consider those ideas to be centrist or far left, then so be it. But he can't baby around with this. According to Obama's own advisers, they made a decision and went with it. They didn't second guess themselves or anything. That's how Obama needs to be while in the White House.

It's neither center left nor right. It's just center.

"Gee whiz, I'm sorry for being here. I don't want to offend..."

LOL, classic.

center-right, my ass. democrats won the popular vote in 4 out of the last 5 presidential elections.

And increase in BOTH chambers of Congress, along with a Democratic POTUS, IS THE DEFINITION of a wholesale realignment.

See you in '16, Republicans. Hopefully, you'll have reclaimed the "party of Goldwater" from the neocon nutjobs.

This is exactly what all the spin from the right has been about regarding the color of BO's skin: it wasn't that people liked his policies or were sick of Bush, it was national affirmative action! Bullshit, BO needs to do his thing while the radical right needs to shut up and eat some crow!

Seriously.

Could repugnicans be any more cartoonish in their portrayal of the grade school bully?!

Oh wait, I gotta go, I hear a cacophony of approaching WHAAAAA-mbulances.

Suck it up tighty righties

More Right Wing brain washing... trying to tell everyone that the country leans center right so liberals have to be careful where they step type BS. These are the same dumb asses that think Palin would make a great candidate in 2012.

There are so far out of touch of what is going on in this country... it's pathetic!

While it's wonderful how Chris is tellin' him in this vid, he has got to work on his style of asking. It's so common for him to ask a question, and then interrupt the answer because he found he didn't make his question quite clear enough. If I was intervieved by him, I'd wait a positive 3 seconds before I even started saying anything in response.

Whoever rates these vids low doesn't realize the base of subscriptors she already has.

Game on, indeed
