Brutal MSNBC Moment: Chris Matthews Crucifies Flustered Obama Backer

[Renegen]

There's something seriously wrong when the candidate who's the frontrunner to become the next president is "rumored", "suspected" to be a fabricated image and unable to put 2 words together or have an original thought. Oh well, I'm not american.

Why exactly has this race which is still many many months away basically degenerated into a choice between 2 people out of 300 million? Already there's the atmosphere of lost votes. That's not a choice, thats like the communist party in the Soviet Union being the only candidate.

These are the type of questions that should be asked of ALL candidates for this job or all political races for that matter.

If hard questions were asked more frequently of all politicians, maybe people would start to hold them more accountable.

That wouldn't be a bad thing, IMO.

i want a black lesbian for president, with her hispanic girlfriend as VP

then, we will have the first black, female, hispanic, gay partner couple prediency

and then we can all congratulate ourselves for being a more diverse society

A failed legislator is perhaps the best we can hope for: Failed politicians that fail to pass any signifigant legislation will have less of a chance of passing the kind of legislation that would further our nation's propensity to fail. Gridlock is really our best hope at maintaining some shred of freedom.

I wonder what this says about Hillary's campaign if they can't think of asking the guy to list his accomplishments in the senate or anywhere. He sure is an eloquent speaker, but... Hopefully, Hillary can make a big deal out of this, even on a tight budget.

Funny, I am reading Empire of Debt by Bill Bonner, http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Debt-R...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203565954&sr=8-1, and this is exactly his point - the best presidents America had were those that did nothing.

Quote from buster_hymen:

Say what you like, but Obama is attracting a huge groundswell of support from people who know what they DON'T want in a president. People who are sick of the Republican bullshit agenda of trickle-down economics, belligerent foreign policy, and pushing backwards, religious-right social policies. And who sick of the Democrat's brand of pseudo-populism that caters to their own lust for power and to the special interests that finance their campaigns rather than to the benefit of the working-class constituency they claim to represent. Compared to the alternatives, Obama doesn't seem that bad to many.

That is exactly right. The people who are going to be responsible for Obama if he is elected president are the neocons, bible nuts, and even the normal moderate republicans who continued to support a failed and incompetent president and congress. That is one of the problems with the political parties. The party faithful are afraid to kick out of office one of their own, no matter how bad that elected person is.

Al Gore must be kicking himself for not getting into this. he would have strolled into the White House waving his globally warmed Nobel Prize medal.

a tribute to his political strategy.

self serving

republicans helped to drive out nixon

democrats would not do the same to clinton. (they said it was impeachable when alleged, then when the evidence came in, they rallied behind him, going back on their word)

in other words, your party is guilty of the very indescretion you attribute to republicans
