Skip to 3:11 for the show.

No matter what QM and other right wing pundits say, the overwhelming coverage that the 2008 presidential race is getting now, clearly shows that the American people want change and they can't wait for it.

Anyway,

David Alan Mamet (born November 30, 1947) is an American author, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, and film director. His works are known for their clever, terse, sometimes vulgar dialogue, arcane stylized phrasing, and for his exploration of masculinity. As a playwright, he received Tony nominations for Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed-the-Plow. As a screenwriter, he received Oscar nominations for The Verdict and Wag the Dog. He also is involved with the Delta Force based show called The Unit. Though my favorite movie he worked on is Spartan.

I like that Rose asks Mamet why he doesn't comment on America's policy. Check it out it's simply fascinating, I really get an answer I never expected.

Americans want change, as in a real conservative in the White House (which Bush is not) and victory over terrorist scum. It's amazing that America remains mostly conservative despite 40+ years of drive-by media spin, including crappy socialist/union-run government schools.

Why don't Obama and Hillary openly boast of being Big Gummint Ted Kennedy-style socialists? Because they know it's impossible to win by being who they really are.

See, I didn't even mention the Democrats and QM went on his Right-wing talking points rant. This is called being irrationally blind and bipartisan.

Before you vehemently defended the Bush administration and it's office. Now you claim they weren't real conservatives? Please make up your mind.

To paraphrase Steve Martin in L.A. Story, "QM, I don't think you understand how unattractive hate is."

FYI - the only U.S. government figure I'm aware of who actually calls himself a socialist is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VA).

I can say with absolute certainly that each of the Democrats you called "socialists" will make more money and be directly responsible for more industry and job creation this month than you will in your entire lifetime.

In comparison, I'd say you're the socialist, wouldn't you?
