“In the congressman's defense here, he could have kept his job for the health care coverage and had to be sure to line up another job that would guarantee they would take his wife even with her pre-existing condition.”

“Now we are seeing the difference between Republicans and Democrats. When George Bush betrayed Republican conservative principles by spending the country into a massive amount of debt, the Republicans doubled down in their support. Democrats do the exact opposite in the same situation. Obama is clearly coming up short in many, many ways. However, he is still our guy and if you think we will get better by abandoning him, then think again. What Republican is going to do better? Name one? .... I'm still waiting.... I didn't think you could name one.

I am not happy either, but I won't abandon my guy.”

“He is no where close to being finished. He has been incompetent since day 1. You would think that he would have been fired after he lost that New York congressional seat that has been Republican since the Civil War but he is still there. I don't see why he would leave now, especially since the RNC seems to have accepted him getting paid for public speaking this entire time.”

“and you voted for to give Bush approval to go to war against Iraq, you voted for the Bush TARP plan and you voted for the Patriot Act and you voted to establish the largest department in the U.S. Government, Homeland Security..... all in less time than has been spent on this. How long was spent on the Bush plan for a drug benefit for Medicaid? How long was spent on "no child left behind." You voted for those too.

Give me a break Olympia, you have had plenty of time. Have some guts and just admit that you are too much of a coward to go against your party because they are going to run at you from the right when your time comes up for re-election. It is going th happen anyway.”

“Looks like Niklaus' records might be safe after all”

“We need to take back our country..... back to 1950. Or at least the idealized verison of 1950 that these people want to live in. Back in the good old days blacks drank from their own water fountains and no one knew anyone who was gay because that 10% of the population hid from the rest of society... or became priests.

But then again, back then, the vast majority of the country was white.

Hey tea baggers, wake up. We are about to become a majority minority country. Ya need to roll with the times as they are a changin'... don't ya know... you betcha...out.”

“I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you, I forgot to turn my hearing aid on.”

“I prefer the use of "u" for "you" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Wow, you really missed the point. Stewart is on a COMEDY channel. The point was to make us laugh. At the same time, Stewart made a point calling out FOX for the fake news it is.”

“I don't understand why you people don't see how brilliant she is.


Go Palin 2013!!!!!”

“Wasn't Poppy Bush's whole thing about the 1000 points of light all about volunteering?

The Republican party used to be really big on volunteering. The idea was that we shouldn't rely on government, but the community would help people out. In fact, there was a republican Senator (I don't remember which one) who suggested that people should volunteer to help out some poor woman who wasn't qualified to take care of her ailing husband and needed profesional help but couldn't afford it.

Pathetic. If Obama says, up, you say down. Congressman Grayson was right. If Obama were able to deliver world piece Repbulican idiots would complain how he hurt the defense industry.

What a joke.”

“Outside of Shephard Smith, Fox News is just a mouthpiece for the republican party. When you have people representing as fact that 2 million people attended the 9/11 rallies, that health care reform includes provisions for death squads, that is not a credible news organization.

It is one thing to report the news then present your opinion on it from a conservative point of view. It is another thing to present opinions over and over again that misrepresent the the truth and then claim that the viewer is confusing the news portion of Fox with the opinion portion of Fox. This is supposedly a news channel. The people like Hannity and O'reilly who express their opinion and present "facts" to back up those opinions should be fact checked just like the editorial pages of the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal are fact checked. But they aren't.. Hence the reality that Fox News is not news, but a political operation.”

“Isn't that the same Peggy Noonan who was caught off camera with a live mic stating that she thought Palin was a joke, while on camera she was talking about what a great ticket McCain/Palin was?

Peggy Noonan doesn't believe half of what she says, and neither should we.

At some point, can we get rid of these faux pundits for some people who do some critical thinking?”

“The difference between Biden's disagreement and Rush Limbaugh or John Boehner, for example, is that Biden is stating an opinion of what he thinks we should do. He has an idea and thoughts and logic. Your moronic hero's only goal is that Obama should fail. They don't state what they would do instead.

Unfortunately, you don't understand the difference between a legitimate disagreement and a bankruptcy of ideas.”

“The DNC did fire back. The updated post at the top includes a great press release attacking the Republicans for being unpatriotic for cheering against winning the Olympics and for the President in winning the Nobel prize.”

“I am a big Obama fan. But I don't think he deserved this prize... at least not yet. That said, he won it, and as an American, I am extremely happy for him and for the United States that the world sees we are moving in a direction for peace with the rest of the world.

Those who criticize this as a disaster are un-American and un-patriotic.”

“I voted for both Gore and Kerry. I was against the war in Iraq, against the Bush tax cuts, against Guantanimo and I consider Bush to be easily the worst president of my lifetime. He even makes Jimmy Carter look good.

Regardless, he is a funny guy... but that isn't qualification to be president.”

“who is the crybaby here? Cheney only gives interviews on Fox. Bush/Cheney avoided answering questions from any so-called news channel other than Fox. And now that we have a democratic president who would rather go tall to ALL of the other news outlets and not fox, Wallace is crying.

boo hoo Chris Wallace.... look in the mirror next time you call someone a crybaby.

oh, and by the way, it is disrepsectful to the office of the president and to the rest of the country to call the Whitehouse a bunch of crybabies. So my question to you Mr. Wallace is, "Why do you hate our America?" and "Why do you hate our troups?"”

“The real issue is that we currently live under a rationed care system where a bureaucrat at an insurance company decides if people like me, who are not on medicare or medicaid, get coverage or not. if I get sick, I become tied to my job beause health care coverage is not portable because a beaurocrat at an Insurance company said so. Even though neither I nor anyone in my family has been seriously ill, my insurance premiums keep going up while my coverage keeps going down because bureaucrats at health care companies need to increase their profitability at the expense of me and all the people at my company. And every time I do go to the doctor for any routine kind of service, my bill goes back and forth between the health care provider and my insurance company at least two times, usually three times before a final price is settled on and the portion I will have to pay is decided. In the meantime, I can see the cost of my health care going up in the wasted back and forth between the insurer and the health care provider .

Please Mrs. Pailin, spare me your false ghost written comments. There are real issues here to discuss but your bogus claim about death panels is not one of them.”

“He must go home every night and watch Network and say to himself, "One day, I will be bigger than Howard Beal."

I am waiting for the psychic and the live audience next.”

“Imagine if he had brought a gun to a Bush event and held up a sign in protest?

Can you say Guantanamo?”

“Government needs to stay out of advising us on end of life care.....

Unless of course we are talking about Terry Schiavo and then of course it should get heavily involved.

- This post was brought to you the United Front of Republican Hypocrites”

“He was at his "wife's" funeral. He should not have been hitting on anyone in the first place”

“I don't understand why this woman is being interviewed at all. She clearly isn't credible. How is this news? As much as I think this is ridiculous, it seems to get as much coverage from the liberal media as from the right wing lunatic fringe. Does this story really deserve this kind of time on the TeeVee?”

“Is it me, or does anyone else find it incredible that 40% of the people still view her favorably? Political views aside, she is a quitter? She quit on the Alaskan people. Whatever happened to when the going gets tough, the tough get going?

I would feel more comfortable if the lunatic fringe that still supported her were down in the 20% range.”
