Keep in mind that the rural America that Sarah Palin likes so much is massively subsidized by the parts of the country she somehow considers less American.

The real reason red states vote Republican is because they love the federal government money that's flowing their way from the blue states. Without the manufacturing, R&D, trade, finance, and content creation in the blue states and urban areas, the rest of America wouldn't have roads, airports, or bridges.

As I watched the special comment video, It occurred to me that There is something really dirty about republican values, specifically the neo-cons.
There is no advantage to the neo-cons to help the poor climb out of poverty or to have a decent education. There are two specific reasons for this.
1. If people are poor, have no health insurance and no education they are much more likely to sign up having been seduced by military recruitment adverts that preach health care benefits, regular wages etc. Thus there is an endless supply of "cannon fodder".
2. Without an education, people are much more likely to believe the republican mud raking that relies on prejudice, right wing religious rant and fear.
Obama has an almost impossible job of breaking down the defence mechanisms that the republicans have used for years but if anyone can do it, he can as long as he chooses a balanced administration that believes in true democracy not just for the US but for the rest of the world.
Go to it Obama for surely the future doesn't bear thinking about if the repugs have another 4 years. There are millions across the world hoping for your victory.

Thank you Keith..... keep telling it like it is! WE are proud of you for speaking the truth to America. The hate has to stop with McCain and Palin. They are both a dangerous combination for this country.
"We are the change we've been waiting for" OREGON here... I already voted for Obama!

The latest polls (10/21/08) show that Obama is favored by 52% of registered voters. Does that mean more than half of America is anti-America, or just that more than half of America is not really America?

Ah! The light begins to dawn: we should count acres, not people. That's why they said Sarah Palin is the governor of the largest state in the Union.

Ask anyone right now, Keith commands the comments. I look forward to hearing your acute oratory on the McCain/Palin low standards and how they put enough spin on what they dish out, keeping us all thinking-NOT ACCEPTABLE. Thanks for saying what we think outloud.

Many here dig Olbermann, but his own divisiveness has stripped him of all credibility. Too bad, because he could have had an impact beyond the fringe, but not anymore.

Let me know when this "conservative hate" manifests into:

People storing poop/piss in buckets to throw at cops/delegates of the other party
People putting dog poop in a neighbor's car because he hates McCain
People jumping in front of candidate's cars
Violence in anti-war protests in cities all over the country

. . . then we'll talk about hate

Yes, actually I do. I am a brain surgeon by day, and a full-time mother by night.

Oh here fatty face goes again. He is exploding his head over SPalin again.

Making fun of SP's intelligence.

Yeah, Keith, you are so much smarter, and have accomplished so much more.

Well, yes, he is and he has! Are you saying that this annoys you or that you actually think that Mr. Olbermann is less intelligent or less accomplished than Ms. Palin? No one is making fun of Ms. Palin's intelligence. The comments generally refer to her total LACK of intelligence. Unless you are as stupid and ignorant as she is, I don't see how you could possibly draw any comparison whatsoever between Mr. O and Ms. P?

This is hysterical. Everytime you turn on big fat face Keith, he is ranting about Sarah Palin.

It is so ridiculous. I remember during the Dem primary, how it was the 24/7 Hillary Clinton rant,now it is Sarah Palin.

This guy really hates women who are smarter than him.

Yet, the fact remains that he is still smarter than you, dajay.

Rapid_Ray: Well I should hope so, since he is supposed to be a journalist and news commentator, informing dumb peons like myself.

But he isn't.

What on earth is your criteria for judging intelligence? Do pull your head out of that very dark place in which it is currently stuck.

If he hates women that's ok because most women hate him. He and Matthews were complete fools during the Dem primary.
