See, rich people need to be richer. That way, poor people can... wait... rich need tax breaks because then... hmmmm... see, POOR people don't... uh...

Don't worry, it makes sense to Romney!

Rich people are richer than ever. Corporations are making record profits. Bottom line, the wealthy have loads of cash.

How exactly is giving them even more cash via tax cuts gonna create more jobs? Wouldn't they just sit on that cash like they are now?

I would love a show more tailored to the Up with Chris Hayes model with panels of very bright progressives who bring a variety of viewpoints to the subject at hand and a diverse mix (at least half the panel female!). I also like Melissa Harris Perry but I am often too busy to see her show.

And it stays that way till the next segment. i've noticed that they have only one major asshole on per hour, so I can be safe for a while at least. I just know how to time them...

I loved Miller on radio back in 2005. She actually saved my sanity after Kerry's loss. But I could listen to her on radio and work out at the same time, which was different from watching her do a radio show on TV. I would be on a treadmill and just burst out laughing and people in the gym would just look at me like I was nuts...I loved it...she was great!

17. To see what the days talking points for the scum are and to complain about The Mouning Schmoe here
Thu Aug 23, 2012, 04:29 PM
Aug 2012

of course, why else??? LOL

I DVR it here in CA and some days watch the entire 3 hours of "show" in under an hour. They repeat the first half hour or so at the top of the third hour, so the "show" is only two and a half hours long. And with commercials, weather, sports, (English Football with "with that guy&quot and mostly inane interviews with people or authors similar to the Today shows worst boring non-news segments, it can be really only an hour or so of "show".....

I have many time zipped through the whole thing in like 20 minutes or less due to Joey Scars ranting and/or Harold (Snowflake) Ford selling it like he works on 11th Ave and 28th Street with the rest of the sex workers in the old days!!! Or Mark Halperin saying something stupid...as usual...

Oh, BTW, NEWSFLASH: Joey Scar thinks that Mittens "spoke well" somewhere yesterday and this means Mittens will defy all logic and give "the speech of his life" next week. This despite Mittens showing 0% passion, 0% details on things he would do and 0% oratory skills for lets see now, aaaaah, HOW ABOUT NEVER EVER!!!

If Mittens passed gas and it did not smell, The Ladykiller and his crew would scream with joy that Mittens had finally become their dreamboat candidate, instead of the nasty, religious nut rich guy that fires your (is it your're???) Dad...

In another thread here on DU of people complaining about Mourning Joe the other day, I remarked that he apparently has the juice to keep Kos off MSNBC to this day. Yikes...

I also pointed out that it is no surprise that Schmoe reacted so violently to the "Rmoney killed the guys wife" ad. Schmoe also knows what it is like to be accused of something so ghastly, hence he went all "the horror, the horror" about the ad that NEVER ran ANYWHERE... Dickhead!!!

Thu Aug 23, 2012, 05:51 PM

Lie #1: Obama got everything he wanted the first two years.

Lie #2: Obama has had almost 4 years to turn the economy around and nothing has happened.

Lie #3: Obama is the biggest spending President ever.

That is all I can remember right now. Please add to the list.

I would post the obvious responses to the lies, but I think most everyone here knows what they are.

So, I check in on a regularly basis so I can see what they are telling lies

So far IMO, Obama's staff must be watching very closely because they come out fighting and fact giving to the public immediately.
