What the heck has Jonathan Alter been smoking? On MSNBC now
saying that * is really more liberal than he's been forced by an R congress to be. That * should steal Dem ideas for himself and make those his legacy, like more taxes for the rich. Anyone else watching him?

4. True....I think the conventional wisdom is that
the USA added a bit of Socialism to the mix during the 30's and that's what kept us from going fascist.....

Grossly Oversimplified, but nice and sound-bite sized.

10. That entire interview pissed me off
Doesn't Tucker realize that his views were rendered irrelevant by the voters?
The little bastard needs to move himself from that far right perch he sits on before someone knocks him off.
In case he isn't aware...Move On had A LOT to do with the re-election of the Democrats.
If the Democrats forget that now, it would be disgraceful.
