So stupid poor people, with the fervent aid of corporate stooges, are lobbying for their exclusion of a national health plan. Go figure.

But then again in my country, leftist autonomous groups are beating people within an inch of their lives in defence of fascist islamists.

Rational thought is getting scarce. Get your shit together people.

I'd like to see a new law regarding how congressional sessions are run.

Upon entering into any house of congress, everyone is affirming that everything they say, as a matter of public record will be held to the rules of perjury, and anyone found guilty of it should be stripped of their office and sentenced to no less than 5 years in federal prison.

These politicians need to be held accountable for their blatant lies, and it's obvious that their constituency are too lazy or too stupid to deal with them appropriately.

I think there should be term limits for all political offices, so that there can be no such thing as a "career politician", but rather they would all temporary representative, who is not worried about being reelected or satisfying corporate agendas in exchange for campaign contributions.

This is why Jesse Ventura is so great - he's not a politician.

Dear GOP,

Please keep throwing meat to these idiots. Get 'em good and riled. Make them mad as hell and get them to act totally crazy. That way, when it comes to the next election, the Democrats can run on the "Look how batshit crazy these people are and look what the GOP stands for: scary crazy lunatics." We won't have to worry about the GOP for another 50 years.

You mean he's just a guy who ran for political office and was elected and re-elected? What do you call that anyway? Someone should come up with a simple term for people who do that.

I didn't like Rachel's show when it first started... it seemed more like a left-leaning O'Reilly Factor; another Countdown; than any sort of news program.

I've come to respect her, though. She's still clearly biased, but she's done some great stuff in the past few months.

More neolib bull. Here are a few examples of times when the news media DIDN'T care that huge numbers of bussed-in rent-a-mobs were being pulled from all over the country to bolster opposition to a cause...
1. Sarah Palin 'investigations'
2. Any/all Barak Obama rallies
3. Iraq War protests
4. Bush nominations to cabinets & judicial positions
5. Scooter Libby & Cheney 'leakgate' investigations

And so on. But, who cares? These are private citizens who want to get involved in the political process. Good for them. I don't care that the Democrats constantly use thier rent-a-mobs to spike the political process. That's how the game is played. But it sure stinks that neolibs like MadCow will praise this kind of "community activism" on one hand, and condemn it when they don't like it.

I'm no republican. If anything, I lean Libertarian. The Democrat party is digging its own grave if it is going to start treating THE PEOPLE like the enemy. This anger is a reflection of national dissatisfaction with Obama's overall agenda. He ran as a moderate, and in 8 month's he's been the most radical far-left kook America has ever seen (and we've seen FDR). The voters are not happy with it, and they're letting the congress know. The congress and their liberal flaks like MadCow have no clue what kind of repercussions they're going to get if they keep trying to pretend this is all just some far-right plot by a tiny number of extremists. They're fixing to turn 2010 into 1994 times ten, and turn Obama into a lame-duck, 1 term loser like Carter.

This video does not deliver... I was expecting a 30 minute meal.

^ Just wanna point out that adding the prefix "neo" to a word, absent any kind of context just means "new".

There's a well established meaning for neoconservative, referring to the people who call for a far more aggressive foreign policy from the US. It has a history that goes back to the WWII era.

Neoliberal also has a well-established meaning, and their policy set is something you're probably in favor of, as opposed to most liberals.

Now, it's true that "neocon" has become synonymous in our discourse with "people who want to kill people for profit, and will tell any lie, and manipulate any information to convince people to go along with that", but that doesn't mean that conservatives can just magically turn that into a bad word about Democrats by saying "neolib".

I'd say it makes you look dumb, but really the rest of what you said made you look more moronic than just using "neolib" by itself would have.

Anyways, just trying to be helpful.

I've said this before and I'll say it again - Rachel is the smartest person on tv. Period.

Thank you for being a voice of reason, RM!

I wish Rachel Maddow could not afford health care. Then maybe she'd get less haircuts to save money.

unfortunately she is not reaching enough people with this forum. She should take her comments on the road.
