mk3872 Commented on Who Is Nidal Malik Hasan? The Picture Becomes (Slightly) Clearer by Justin Elliott

2009-11-10T05:59:19Z

He "likely subscribed to radical Islamic beliefs" ... So where is the non-stop media coverage of the George Tiller's murderer or the murderer in Tennessee this year? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonathan-kim/right-wing-tn-church-shoo_b_115789.html

Oh, right, because in the U.S., Islam is solely considered to be a violent religion practiced by terrorist ...

mk3872 Commented on Reid Continues To Target Republican Obstruction by Brian Beutler

2009-11-08T06:05:02Z

The Dems should have held their ground (insted of caving again to moderate Dems) on Bush judicial nominees when Frist was Sen leader and allowed the Repubs to remove filibuster for judges. Bush got his judges anyway and now the Dems are stuck because the Repubs have no conscience.

mk3872 Commented on Steele: GOP Sweep In Virginia 'Blow' To Obama by Christina Bellantoni

2009-11-04T01:30:25Z

Was this a statement from Steele or Rush Limbaugh?? Did Steele actually say "the Democrat party"??

mk3872 Commented on Bachmann's New Effort To Rally Against Congress -- And Do It Inside The Buildings -- Endorsed By GOP Leadership by Eric Kleefeld

2009-11-02T19:28:35Z

No, I do not think that is what they want.

The GOP knows they are powerless to stop this sort of legislation.

The current Republican party has been quite clear, in fact, in their utter lack of interest in actual legislation.

These stunts are all about creating an angry base to bring out voters in elections.

Just like the way the Dems used to anti-war protestors but refused to end the war when they got power in 2006.

mk3872 Commented on Lieberman: Public Option Is A Big 'Mistake' -- That I'll Filibuster by Ben Frumin

2009-11-01T17:31:47Z

And I'm SURE Lieberman was challenged on his incorrect assertions that the Public Option was somehow a new "entitlement" or would raise taxes, despite all information and CBO scores showing the opposite??

mk3872 Commented on Republican Aide Cautions Use of AHIP Report: Check Your Donations First by Christina Bellantoni

2009-10-12T15:52:57Z

Well, now we know why Republicans wanted to delay the SFC vote for 72 hours! Gave their favorite industry sugar daddies, the insurance company, just enough time to push out their own bogus report ...

mk3872 Commented on Gen. Keane: If I Was McChrystal, I'd Resign If Obama Ignored My Advice by Ben Frumin

2009-10-11T15:06:52Z

Completely ignoring the fact, naturally, that McChyrstal said the most important factor is having a solid long-term strategy first ... But, hey, that would limit the WOW factor of conflict on TV ...

2009-10-05T16:40:30Z

Glacial is the reality of the speed at which this process has progressed.

Yet I am sure to see Fox News & Drudge stories about the Dems "ramming" this bill through Congress!

mk3872 Commented on Bachmann Grills Bernanke About ACORN (No Joke) by Eric Kleefeld

2009-10-02T13:45:43Z

I suppose it must be people who just don't know any better.

It is likely just people vote for someone who acts like them and says the things that they are thinking, regardless of how incorrect and awful those things may be.

mk3872 Commented on Bachmann Grills Bernanke About ACORN (No Joke) by Eric Kleefeld

Isn't the real question here this one: How does Michelle Bachmann keep getting elected ??

mk3872 Commented on RNC Raising Money Off Of Schoolchildren Singing About Obama, Comparing It To Stalin And Kim Jong Il by Eric Kleefeld

2009-09-30T20:32:50Z

Huh? Are they fundraising against the principal of a public school? Because kids sang about the president?

I recall seeing quite a few statues of St. Ronnie Reagan.

But I guess it's okie-dokie to worship a Republican president ... IOKIYAR

Why would they care? Who in the MSM is calling them out for it? The op-ed & front pages on WSJ & WaPo are all anti-hcr all the time

mk3872 Commented on Steele Injects Race Into Obama's Request That Paterson Not Run by Ben Frumin

2009-09-20T16:37:23Z

Of course, if Steele was really sooooo concerned about only 2 black governors, wouldn't the real answer be for the RNC to run quality BLACK candidates instead of whining about the Democrats?

mk3872 Commented on Steele Injects Race Into Obama's Request That Paterson Not Run by Ben Frumin

2009-09-20T16:34:26Z

No worries, I am sure that Matt Drudge and Michelle Malkin will call out Michael Steele for playing the race card. Bwahhaha!

mk3872 Commented on Economist Peter Schiff Announces Run Against Chris Dodd by Rachel Slajda

2009-09-17T13:57:44Z

It is like religious orthodoxy with these free market loons.

Heck, even Greenspan realized he was wrong about free market laisez faire ...

mk3872 Commented on Economist Peter Schiff Announces Run Against Chris Dodd by Rachel Slajda

2009-09-17T13:55:38Z

Absolutely amazing, it is, at the orthodoxy of these free-market loons.

We are just a few short months away from what was the largest financial collapse the world has ever seen because there were no regulators over big corps and because the free market was allowed to run wild with bubble economies.

Yet they're gonna run candidates based on the exact same formula that got us into this mess???

mk3872 Commented on New Jersey Poll: Birthers, Truthers, And The Anti-Christ -- Oh, My! by Eric Kleefeld

2009-09-16T17:05:44Z

Eric - is this "our polarized politics" as you state ... or, is this an indication of 2 more fundamental American societal issues:

1. Our education system stinks and people are not being sufficiently educated

2. Our 4th estate, the media, is not sufficienlty doing their jobs

The MSM and our school system leaders should look at these results and be ashamed.

mk3872 Commented on Rep. Steve King: The President Threw The First Punch by Rachel Slajda

2009-09-16T14:39:15Z

Oh, right, I GET IT! The "opposition" party in the U.S. is allowed to make up claims about the President when the Pres is a Democrat, right?

But when they get called out on it, then the President is at fault.

See, this kind of logic only works in the conservative mind ...

mk3872 Commented on McConnell Contradicts Baucus: Finance Bill Is Not One "Very Many Republicans Will Support" by Brian Beutler

2009-09-15T20:06:11Z

Democrat Max Baucus is crafting a bill that REPUBLICANS can support? Huh? What the h*ll difference does it make if we have a Dem majority, then?

mk3872 Commented on Chambliss: Obama Better Show Humility In Speech To Congress by Rachel Slajda

2009-09-08T23:06:58Z

Lovely. A southern hick who defeated his Democractic opponent, who happened to be war veteran and amputee, by calling him unpatriotic and weak on natl defense. Nice ...
