These are scary times we live in and everything has been so politicized. People dont see facts and truth anymore, they see left and right.

No wonder their network is losing
Evidently they had invited GB on their show to discuss his views on current issues. Instead, 7 minutes of air time was wasted on this? This wasn't even comedy, nothing funny, just junk. Seven minutes of crap about a seat on a train!
you can write to the network
I did and let them know they should be embarrassed for pimping themselves out for this biased promotion instead of two-sided reporting on an issue and told them one less viewer would be looking to them for any attempt at fair reporting. There is a link on their website to contact them.
Scene from the movie Network. sm
This is old, but whoever made this movie knows what is up. This is one of the best scenes I have seen in a movie.

Guess what network she was on last night?
FOX. Try again.
When you are removed from an anchor chair by your network...
and placed as a commentator only, for all intents and purposes you are a commentator on that network. On MSNBC he is a commentator...not a journalist.
EXACTLY the image I have..nm
x
Your cannot even image what the republicans said about...sm
JFK when he was running for president, the first Catholic, junior senator, Harvard graduate, wealthy influential family. Oh my goodness. It was really ugly when he was running against tricky Richard. We all know what happened with that. Americans are not fools. Obama will win.
All I know is as a Christian, I can't image
why the phrase "Muslim faith" would even come into my response when asked about my religion. His true beliefs came out ringing clear as a bell and that's when I said okay, enough, this guy is definitely not my president.
Image how many OTHER documents might
.
Image of America
You just do NOT UNDERSTAND:
I am NOT discriminating. This is what the POLLS show!
And hopefully also the election: Go, Obama
Why do I have this image here of that brain-
A narrow-minded believer in fantasy until the bitter end.
Which image problem is worse?
Assuming image problems are of any importance whatsoever in the grand scheme of things. Yet there are some who continue to insist this is their "legitimate concern." Can this get any more juvenile?
Shoot - Let me know if you want image that bigger (NM)
Our image around the world will be repaired by Obama...sm
Right now Bush has just about tanked this country. We sorely need to repair our relationships around the world. People do not hate us for our freedoms as Hannity would tell you. If that were true, they'd pick on Sweden who is far more free with everything than we are. I have a friend from Germany who said everyone was rooting for Obama and she hadn't even heard of McCain. They want change for us as well as we do. The American people have spoken and Obama has won.
Obama's eloquence just might restore our image around the world
xx
Yes, exactly! It is a priority to restore the image of America to the world! ..nm
nm
Well...the flight suit might disspell some of the rock star image...
I think Invesco field and the whole rock star set is going to do nothing to help him trying to portray himself as a serious politician ready to lead this country. But...I will wait until I actually see it...have only seen pictures so far. But if it is anything like it looks, it will be more like a hollywood musical than a political event. Maybe it IS all about the celebrity. Kinda looks like it might be.
Which can be said for BOTH parties. :-)
nm
Here are some other parties and their candidates.
The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr, the Constitution Party has nominated pastor and radio talk show host Chuck Baldwin, and the Green Party has nominated former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Ralph Nader declined to seek the Green Party nomination and is running as an independent candidate. That is in addition to the Ron Paul fans as well as McCain and Obama.
What did we get out of the debate last night? That same ole crap Obama and McCain have been throwing around since the get go. Imagine what that would be like with all these other people thrown in the debate as well.
I think you have the 2 parties mixed up. (nm)

Tea parties across America
first here is a great video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA. Also, many states, including Chicago, are actually hosting tea parties throughout many communities and they are gathering a large following. We could be on our way to a revolution.
So you believe we need separate parties to
nm
Yes, that is true, BOTH parties have to...sm
find newer, stronger, wiser candidates, real workers for the American people, NOT lobbyists or special interest groups. Does such an "animal" even exist in politics???? I am wondering. And as for Pub candidates, had Mr. McCain had more, better ideas for the economy, the war, etc., I was willing to vote for him. But after listening to every speech and debate I could, I was horribly disappointed in this brave man. And when he picked Palin, well, let's just say it was like a sign from God saying "Don't go there." JMHO, thanks for your post, and I, too, felt so bad about how Micheal Phelps was VILLIFIED for perhaps taking a hit off a bong. C'mon, he was SUPERMAN for America, and one youthful mistake that happened in private, and no on knows all the circumstances....so wrong how they made this kid feel!
It looks to me like they have all been working parties too -
One of the lines even said that it was a "hamburger and hotdog" affair for the congressman; and it also plainly stated that Obama had left the party before the conga line started - but who cares anyway?
Do you think just because he is President he is not human and does not like to interact and have fun? Do you not think that every President before him has entertained and enjoyed themselves at their "HOME"?
And these Tea Parties are funny because?????? ...
Rachel Maddow is a mean 5 letter word.
I am one of the organizers of a Tea Party in my city. The little people cannot do anything to the politicians, and true, this may not amount to much, but if it makes even ONE elected official take notice then the purpose has been served.
Perhaps if more people got out and did something rather than laughing about this, we ALL could make a difference. But then that is just my opinion.
The corruption is pretty even in both parties. sm
The current administration calls itself conservative, but they definitely do not represent my beliefs. I believe in freedom, peace, and prosperity, rights for everyone, and bias towards no one, and have the deepest respect for the Constitution. Except for a few individuals, none of that exists with Democrats or Republicans. I do mean the politicians, not the people.
Free market capitalism produces long-term growth. Socialism and middle-way economic interventionism by the state produce poverty and bureaucracy. If the goal is to keep poor people poor generation after generation you should promote socialism.
What we currently have is a plutocracy. America is one big giant corporation, and the very affluent do control our political process. Those who are honest call them fascists.
I would really like to see those on the left unite with those on the right to do what is right. We are leaving one helluva mess behind for our children and grandchildren, and generations after. The best way to start to do that is become better informed (not the TV news) and get active.
Both parties have raided it since the first raid...
which I still think was during a Dem administration...I will have to research that more.
Well, since corporate america provides most of the jobs in America...what is the answer to that? Socialism, where we all fight for a spot on the government teat?
Class warfare...generally always works because it is the human condition to want what the other guy has without having to raise a hand to earn it. Always easy to stir people up using class warfare. Then all of a sudden you have a dictator running everything and people are no better off than they were before the great benefactor. Ask the venezuelans how that is working for them.
You're right about both parties being politicians
and I guess it just boils down to a lesser of the two evils! This is such a simple thing, I just don't understand why you wouldn't just prove it to shut everyone up.
I hate to say it but BOTH parties caused it!
Wake up, America.
Yeah, I could live without the parties myself..(sm)
The problem though is that when you talk about just issues, then the same lines (party lines) will be drawn. You will never get everyone to agree with you, and until everyone is willing to go to the middle (which will never happen), we can forget the having no parties deal. I think differing opinions are good and are what make sites like this interesting. It makes everyone look at both sides, whether or not they like it. Yeah, I'm sarcastic and will argue till the cows come home on some issues, but I'm obviously enjoying it or I (like everyone else) wouldn't still be here...LOL.

No, IF Bush was Having weekly parties
Remember, secrecy was job #1 in THAT administration.
parties at the White House
President Kennedy http://www.jfklibrary.org/Historical+Resources/Archives/Reference+Desk/The+Kennedy+White+House+Parties.htm

And I found many, many more hits - just too many to post!
Ok sorry, Animal House parties - is that better?

Hey Newton - parties are after hours?
THEIR personal life and they have a household BUDGET.
Maybe she's confusing Obama's parties with.(sm)
the parties held at the Department of Interior under Bush....LOL.
Democrats will be attending tea parties too....
http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/04/14/jacobs_democrats_tea_parties/
There is considerable reason for ardent supporters of both parties to be increasingly concerned about the direction the country is being taken (shoved!) by the Obama-Pelosi-Reid troika, which has already shown that it is far more radical in its liberal agenda, in its contempt for states' rights, its palpable fear of conservatives, and in its "globalism" than many Democrats can stomach. The pendulum has swung too far, and now it threatens to come off its hinge entirely. It must be swung back toward the middle before it is too late.
Can it ever become too late? History says "yes" - and the tipping point can be reached with astonishing speed and little warning. I never cease to be amazed that so many Americans seem to be so ignorant of history that they have no real appreciation of how little it takes to destroy even the mightiest of nations, or how many seem to believe that "something" would never let this happen to America. They cannot imagine a world in which there is no America or, what is more likely, an America that becomes an extension of the socioeconomically incompetent system of "government uber alles" that now literally stinks up Europe.
Here's a very disturbing oxymoron about the "troika" that the mainstream press has not bothered to look into: Given that the world is quite obviously becoming more dangerous rather than less so, and given an administration that believes so strongly that big government spending is the solution to the current recession with massive increases to almost every government agency, how is it that the Department of Defense is the only skeleton at the feast? With extraordinary ineptitude, the day after North Korea defied the world and launched its intercontinental ballistic missile, the Obama administration announced defense cuts, including the missile defense program - which has shown that it works.
Now we have a grave situation developing with respect to illegal immigration. Not only are the labor unions beginning to collude with the illegals, but the number of "anchor babies" born in the US to illegals has nearly doubled from 2.7 million per year in 2003 to over 4 million in 2008. Is there anyone on this forum who understands what is happening here?
I know that Americans of most political persuasions, including independents, are becoming very alarmed, as well they should. What concerns me now is that we might already be past the tipping point. We must restore two-party government to Washington in 2010, or I believe there will be no turning back from this calamitous course.
Turnout for tea parties is pathetic!
I just saw coverage of some of the Mad Hatter's tea parties, and the turnout is pathetic. I also don't see any government agents harassing the crowds, as some paranoid posters here claimed they would. Much ado about nothing!
Bet the African-Americans at the TEA parties

Tea parties vs the million man march
All this controversy over the number in attendance af last week's tea parties, and who was there! I would think over a quarter-million participants would rank right up there as far as demonstration statistics go.
There was another demonstration in 1995 which planned to attact a million demonstators. Wikipedia has this:
......... Finally, within the first twenty-four hours following the March a conflict between March organizers and Park Service officials erupted over crowd size estimates. Initially, the National Park Service issued an estimate of about 400,000 attendees; a number significantly lower than March organizers had hoped for. After a heated exchange between leaders of the March and Park Services the estimate was raised to 850,000* but still fell short of the organizers’ estimate of over 1 million. The controversy over the number of men who actually participated in the March has yet to be firmly resolved. *[guess they were getting the 2 for 1 special?]
Even back then, folks were hollering 'recount,' I don't recall seeing any female or white faces in that crowd, either. I think that was pretty sexist and racist. The point is, you hang with like-minded individuals. Nobody put out the 'whites only' sign at the tea parties. It was equal opportunity, and if you were a hard-working black business owner you might have been there.
right, both parties are claiming victory,,
but the official results are not expected before Saturday. Enough time for 'manipulation?'
Both parties are hypocrites, just as in regular
nm
Hillary needs to change parties and become Republican.
