Something that irritates me about Chris Matthews and Larry O'Donnell |
|
They want to, at the very least minimize if not down right ridicule, Congressmen and women from politically safe districts or states, who are willing to make a stand a say, "No!"
Isn't that a strength of our system? Where others are too spineless to make a stand for fear of an electorate backlash, others are there to go on camera and fight the good fight.

2. I have no problem with Chris or Lawrence questioning guests... |
|
...or pushing them to be clear and factual, but last night they were beyond rude with their yelling and accusations - and went on for too long without giving the guests a chance to answer. I got the feeling they were worried about their own tax cuts.

6. The blow with the wind. If you observe closely they always wait |
|
until it "safe" to criticize any one.

7. Fortunately, we have "safe" candidates who will speak out... |
|
...that's why I think it's ridiculous to marginalize them, as if, "Oh, they're all thumping their chests, now, aren't they."
Like I said, it's one of the strengths of our system, not to be marginalized. Would hate it if the safe politicians remained in the shadows, too.
Just idiotic of those two.
