The Right-Wing Election Platform/Narrative

... or should I say, a day in the life of *Taking the Country Back* ...





Rachel Maddow Show

In a Sick, Perverted way; I’m kind-of looking forward to the look on the Republicans Face when they actually have to do something more than nothing. You know, like make a difficult decision and actually Govern, out in the open where everyone can see the truth.

Keep in mind and never forget who we're dealing with, that what we're see'ng is more than what Bush and the neocons did to America and the American psyche as tragic dismal failures ... it's why a right-winger is a right-winger ... that what they know about themselves enhanced for all the world to see as transparent as a further affliction on us ...

Personally, I think it goes to Rushbots *retards* ...

Like the Dems in charge of congress since 2007 (before the current downturn) have done a stand up job of leading the country out of the downturn. Spending our way out of this is not working, Bush's biggest deficits were when the Dems were in charge of congress, but you all have memory gaps here. Would be great to see only the house go Pubs and keep the Senate with the Libs in charge, we do not need anymore of the Libs failed policies of the last 4 years, and with the POTUS he would veto any headway the Pubs would attempt to make, so a split congress and we will see if the Left POTUS can work to do what America is after and that is not more spending or taxes, they want business friendly laws and to repeal the HC law, did you notice Boeing as the latest company with 90K employees site the HC law as why increases will be put to the workers, yes you can keep your current plan, BS

I’m confused … are you saying the Republican Leadership went along with Democratic policies or did the Republicans “obstruct” policies that the Democrats tried to implement and thus, the old polices that the Republican put in place put us there where we are now? Let us know when you make up your mind on where you stand in history, because January 2009 was only 23 months ago. Because you’re either part of the problem or you’re part of the solution; but if you’re on the side-lines it’s obvious you’re not in the game and that's a bigger problem if you’re still bringing home a Big-Government paycheck from the American People!

BTW, did you see the segment last night where they listed all the Republicans who not only made a compelling case for the Stimulus, but made a “written” case to Washigton on why it would work for their home district?

Also; I’m currently looking out the window at the Chicago River at in my client’s office, located at 100 North Riverside Plaza. So don’t believe everything you read about Boeing, seeing has a better view on your perspective.

Still laughing in the mirror?
You may need to wash it down before you choke on it!

To try and pigeon hole the party change to one issue would be disingenuous. IMHO it's a culmination of all those things she mentioned and not just one of them. Of course no candidate is perfect on either side of the isle but people aren't happy/please with the way they see certain issues going and so they want another change. However this time it's a change from the left to the right. If the Republicans don't deliver, then there will be another change in 2012. The question is will it be back to the left or something different we haven't seen before.

And let's be honest, she's not even close to being objective.

And on a personal note, I just can't stand women who wear their hair short like that. UGH!

*Madcow* is a Rhodes Scholar ... albeit lezbo, or the first openly gay anchor to be hired to host a prime-time news program in the United States ...

Well, the exotix is always tickled when her facts hits right-wingers upside thier heads and their azz'z on their way out the door (of reality) ... back to the lalalaland of Faux Noize ...

Would you agree she clearly has a bias and does not have a problem letting it show through in her segment?

Oh, easy ... simply provide for the exacting academic accomplishments from the right-wing sirens ...

I honestly don't see how her education and sexual preference directly translates into her not being objective. If you could expound on how they relate I'd be glad to hear you out.

Honestly though, would you rather hear a report on the subject from someone who has set their bias (be it large or small) aside and willing to report undistorted facts? I would much prefer to hear a report from someone like that than most of those in the media we have now.

There's biased media personalities on both sides of the political spectrum. That said, would you agree she clearly has a bias and does not have a problem letting it show through in her segment?

Well, take for instance O'Donnell ... here's a woman who is against sex in every way wether it be straight or gay ... to extend to *outlawing sex with oneself* ...

I have to laugh at this concept everytime I see the Zestra commercial ...

Ok how about her qualification in say … Politics and Government and The Constitution and Law

I’m assuming whoever you trust with your investments, is actually qualified in investing and is somewhat successful at it?

Or should we just continue to pretend and play stupid in regards to Palin, O’Donnell … and the likes.

Being qualified is only part of the resume. There's lots of people who are "qualified" to do a job. That doesn't mean the can. And vice versa.



The questions I asked are about Ms. Maddow.

When you, if you, interview someone; if they are not qualified … do you continue the interview?

As far as Maddow ... she just another News Reporter to me.

So is someone who is blaitantly showing their bias when reporting on an topic ok with you?

Depends on the person ... what are you hiring Hot Chicks>


When I watch Fox News, I still listen to everything they have to say before making my judgment.

Then I hit the floor laughing.

If anyone hires on qualifications alone, they're doing a disservice to the company they work for.



Well I don't watch Fox News. Nor CNN or MSNBC or any of the cable media outlets.

I hire smart people and smart people find ways to continue their education. Lazy people get content, and content doesn’t last a hour in my business. So start with a good base and everything you build on that will hold its own weight forever more.

Now “smart” takes on a lot of forms, but “stupid” is uniquely identifiable and the consequences last a lot longer. I think George Bush had some smart people around him, but the stupid things he did we’re paying for now and will be paying for decades.

I thought you told us *all* news reporters & their agencies were biased?

Being Stubborn is twice as bad a Stupid. That means to me, that despite knowing the right thing to do, he did what he wanted to do. Making difficult decisions, means making the right decisions, even though it’s not popular, but making popular decisions to satisfy your base, is stupid. Doing the RIGHT THING isn’t always convenient.

I know many of you disagree … but attempting to reform Health Care and Wall Street is the RIGHT thing to do, not the most popular, but the RIGHT thing to do. If no one ever tries, it’s an absolute certain it will never get done. It will never be perfect, but you’re never have anything to refine in you don’t have some place to start.

That’s the deterrence between Governing and simply holding your ground.

You knew these kinds of people growing up ...

Bush and the neocons allowed terrorists to attack us so Bush could lie us into invading Iraq to save his daddy from history (rewriting revisionism ... comma statement) ... where the resulting war crimes & holocausts & economic devestation / depresssion globally simply can't be construed in the Bush era as mere *not knowing the right thing or the wrong thing* ... it goes beyond the pale of anything America has ever known ... it exposed *right-wing thought* for what it is ... life as sheer depravity for all except for the few ...

What part of todays right-wing *narrative* in this regard has changed ?

[Joecooool]

It continues to stun me how the Nordic countries, along with other European "socialist democracies", continue to rank at the top, or near the top, in nearly EVERY SINGLE index regarding health, happiness, civic participation, freedom, economic fairness, etc....

And yet right-wingers continue to mindlessly chant, "USA! USA! USA! WE'RE NUMBER 1"

No...we're not. We're...number 18. Or number 30. Or even number 65, depending on which index one looks at.

Our country has been in slow-motion collapse ever since Reagan brainwashed large segements of our electorate, and gutted our ability to even minimally fund projects for our very future as a Republic.

Just last night, I, unfortunately, happened to catch John Bolton on Greta van Susteren's show on Fox, calling Europe a "civilization in collapse."

Not quite, John, but keep preaching to the poor, deluded right-wing choir.
