The Tweety Show: Obama has no constituency for health care |
|
Chris Matthews, Kathleen Parker, some bimbo from CNBC, Richard, Stengel from Time and one other boob on this morning's Chris Matthews said President OBama has "no constituency for health care reform."
No constituency for health care reform.
Uh huh. Really? Cuz I just saw a poll from last week that showed 73 percent of Americans support health care form.
What planet are these morons living on?
Matthews gleefully touted Obama's poll numbers which, obviously, show a drop from February, but he failed to show the poll numbers that show high support for health care reform in general, as well as a public option.
Oh, and we're gonna lose our asses in the 2010 elections. It actually makes me feel better to hear the idiots predict this since they are NEVER right about anything. EVER.
For someone who has been in politics for decades, Matthews is really tone deaf and, frankly, stupid.

1. Matthews really isn't the brightest bulb on msnbc - Rachel makes him look... |
|
...like a political preschooler ~ he's a fan of the subject, not a scholar.

2. Now that it looks like Health Care reform will pass |
|
the new meme is that no one wants it. The M$M is doing their part to kill it.

3. The first rule of journalism is to report news, not create news |
|
But most of today's pundits and journalists do exactly that -- create news.

5. Another thing the polls show is that Americans will blame |
|
Republicans if healthcare reform doesn't pass. I think it was about 36 percent, compared to 10% of blame going to Obama. Another fact, Tweety and his gang of morons, willfully ignore.

8. like you said, the media decides what the news will be |
|
and they force the facts (or just plain make shit up) to fit their narrative.

6. Actually the OPPOSITE is true |
|
as recent polls show that even a majority of registered REPUBLICANS want heath care reform with at least a public option!
It is the OTHER side that has 'no constituency' except for a small minority of brainwashed idiot teabaggers!

9. No matter how we may feel, Tweety is not the most courageous |
|
of Journalists. In other words he is not going out on a limb on anything. No disrespect intended. Courage is not characteristic of today's Journalists. They live by the "pac". They all agree, before anyone goes out with a pronouncement. This is why you have the OReillys and Geraldos--marching to the beat of their own drum.
My point is Tweety would not come up with this pronouncement all on his own. Watch other Journalists in the weeks coming up.
Is the the beginning of setting the stage for Health Care Failure?? DC Crowd Rule in the end. Most of them follow the Corporate Wishes.
Or is this a way for the DC crowd to try to scare the Liberals into lying down and rolling over for the Blue Dogs.
Always examine the Media and their motivation.
