Budget talks: This is getting nasty

You're obviously a right-wing nutjob.

 

I like my $1 coins. They work really well in our vending machines at work. And if they really wanted to encourage people to use them, they'd formulate parking meters to take them.

 

Only thing I watch on Fox News with any regularity now is the Factor. Neil Cavuto is a Starbucks sipping joke and I've never liked Hannity and his screw you if you didn't grow up to be an entrepreneur attitude as well as his knack for shoutdowns. Olbermann didn't shout at MSNBC, he just spewed venom in the direction of the right.

And "Change We Can Believe In" kind of ended that messaging win streak.

SHOW ME ONE, JUST ONE PIECE ON ANY OF THE NEWS NETWORKS ON HOW CONGRESS hasn't said a word about their own pensions while pointing at a economic crisis caused, in part, by pensions (of others) and unions.

 

Damn right on O'Reilly. Maddow has taken over as the liberal wingnut on MSNBC. I don't mind Blitzer too much. Cooper? Not sure.

 

I like them too.

Our vending machines take fives and tens and gives dollar coins in change.

 

They are what they are, and Fox is what is, because of what amounts unfettered, wall-to-wall publicity on talk radio nationwide.

 

NBC News/WSJ poll: 58 percent favor Obama's plan, 36 percent for GOP.

Also of note, the results have done a flip-turn and people now support raising the debt ceiling as they find out what happens if it isn't raised. It's becoming abundantly clear which party is going to take the blame if government shuts down to keep rich people's taxes lower.

 

When we raise the debt ceiling, everyone needs to sit their kids down at the dinner table and tell them, "Everyone has always said that their generation is better and smarter than the one before it. I hope that's true because your future just got a bit less rosy. Good luck."

 

Beck's history prior to FOX was quite sordid. And there isn't enough lipstick in existence to pretty up that pig.

 

Did you do that all the other times it was raised?

 

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure,” he said. “It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

So you did tell your kids that all the other times it was raised? Because that was the question, not "What did Obama say in 2006 about the debt ceiling?"
