This race for the White House show is getting on my last nerve
this RACIST Buchanan comes out with a bullshit statement saying Obama is loosing to working class whites(A TOTAL LIE he's ten points ahead in the latest polls) hes loosing to Catholics and he's trying to goat Obama into to picking Hillary as VP. First off this show is totally stupid Gregory and the rest of the gang thinks the election is this month and not Nov. And they forget Obama isn't in the party that holds the White House for Obama to even be tied to PAPA is bad news for the rethugs.

2. Ole Pat becomes comic relief if you stop taking him seriously. He's like a museum exhibit

3. yeah, the show can be very demoralizing if you take it seriously.
Edited on Wed Aug-06-08 05:17 PM by ErinBerin84
Lately, I've learned not to take it seriously though (sometimes I need the mute button to help me out)- did you catch Gregory say at the beginning of the show that the female vote is essentially "split"? Whatever you say, Stretch. Rachel's headline was about the lead up to Iraq book released yesterday, and David Gregory tried SOOO hard to look "concerned" about Iraq, but looked so disingenuous.. he crunched his eyebrows and said in a monotone voice "Yeah...Iraq...it keeps...coming back..." I turned it off before Rudy came on though, knew I couldn't stomach

4. It's Worse than Crossfire--John Stewart needs to go on
It takes stories and turns them into 30 second clips from 6 fucking people.

Even if Maddow is on it...

It is still the worst political show ever. Bad for America.

13. I agree. there are so many reasons why this show doesn't work
1. they don't give enough time to the topics.
2. too many journalists talking over each other makes the show unwatchable
3. david gregory is not a very good moderator

There have been some good moments, though. But I agree that rachel maddow is not enough to make this show worth watching. i have taken to watching my local news at 6pm. or maybe the discovery channel. or the situation room, if i can catch cafferty and the cafferty file. funny answers.

5. Step away from the remote and TV....
Don't fry your brain cells.....it's a waste of time watching that show. Frankly I am tired of pundits opinions...I am tired of skewed Polls....I am tired of the underhand racist comments.

They do not want Obama to win and we need to call them on it somehow.

8. My patience for that crappy show ran out the day it debuted.
Edited on Wed Aug-06-08 05:24 PM by No Surrender
I refuse to watch any show with Pat KKK Buchanan. If his mug appears on my screen, I change channels immediately.

Screw the corporate hoore media.

9. watching that crap only makes people stupider.

It's all tabloid shit. Gregory? Oh, how I LOATHE that pompous piece of shit. Dude, you sit there talking about some guy's hairstyle in an attack ad, or speculating which VP pick would make for the most interesting ticket, and yet you act like you're a real journalist at the highest level who is doing the Lord's work. You can tell that he actually believes he is doing real high-brow journalism. His mannerisms and tone of voice make that apparent. Sketch comedy people couldn't do a better job of parodying pretentious people talking so seriously about such trivial shit. Rachel gets cut off whenever she tries to steer the discussion to something of substance. Of course, legislative and policy substance is not to be discussed or mentioned on TV under any circumstances. They don't want you to think that your vote can actually affect anything. Sit back! Just shut up, watch politics as a dramatic soap opera, and let Gregory and Jack Welch take your money.
