When they talk about the current crop of republican crooks as if they were viable politicians? Santorums sanctimonius bullshit is just smoke to cover what he is really about. He invented K street. When Abrahmov and Delay went down, IMHO someone paid big bucks to take the heat off Rick, and he slithered away. He was voted "most corrupt politician of 2006 by a watchdog group. He is, contrary to his image, completely amoral. I don't have time to go into Grinches past, it is well known. The rest, Bachman, Paul, Perry, and co. are plain batshit nuts. Yet the pundits continue to discuss them every damn day without apologizing to their viewers for parading this collection of scum before them as real canidates.
This is the best thing that could happen to the democrats. Take a. Long hard look at these dirtbags, who rightfully should be featured on MSNBCs "Lockup" show. Realize they are dead serious. Ask yourself if you can really afford to stay home on election. Day, 2012.

(3,574 posts)I guess the rethugs put the fear into npr when they threatened to defund. The corporate grip on the media is now complete.

One wants to replace judges so the next one wants to close the courts. One says he wants to reform welfare, the next has to say he wants black people to starve to death.
It won't be long before one of them just goes ahead and bites the head off a bat.

Santorum is the worst! I feel like I need to disinfect after readng about him.
unionworks
(3,574 posts)Perhaps they are parading thetrain wrecks to make Romney look good by comparison! Romney isa "moderate" just like Bush was a "moderate" when he was campaigning. Remember?

(16,813 posts)to blow on ads, they couldn't harm the Republicans as bad as these candidates are. Every day they go further to show just how radical they are.

(64,184 posts)The attention paid to the Iowa caucus was ridiculous. What, did something like 6 dozen people participate? I know it was more than that, but it's a group of radicals representing a tiny fraction of a small state arguing over which lunatic they like most.
That should the the PREMISE of the news coverage. Not who wins or loses but things like Perry spending a few thousand per vote received.
Bunch of silliness.

(36,974 posts)because MSNBC can add up all the airtime that they are now spending talking about the Republicans and later use that as evidence that they gave the republicans an equal amount of coverage once they start talking about President Obama all the time after Obama starts campaigning full time. What's going on now it is not as important as everything that will be going on a few months from now. After the Republican Convention the cable news stations (especially MSNBC) will be giving President Obama more airtime than the GOPers.
Anyway I thought I'd toss that out there
Edited to add:
And remember back during the 2008 primaries, everyday the news coverage was mainly focused on Obama and Hillary. And then once the general election season started it equaled out to be on Obama and Palin - LOL

The CREW? Those are working people, and last I looked, they were running a non Union shop there at Uncle Pat's House of the Right.
The actual crew there can not afford to puke. Sick on the set, they will go home and not get called again. Now the 'talent, they can afford to puke but, 2.5 million a year gets you lots of Rolaids.

(3,574 posts)I meant the pundits, not the workers. Good point, though.

(3,574 posts)I see why they gave him the early Saturday a.m. spot. He is telling the truth about Mitt Romneys "job creation". (Busting unions and closing factories.)
