Bill Maher on MSNBC just said:

Bill said Bernie is a noble guy but he won't win. He said Joe is noble but his son dying is no reason to run. Hillary should be the choice.

Then he says he doesn't like that Hillary is in bed (paraphrasing) with Monsanto and Wall Street but she is a boring Centrist in the Obama camp. He says she will win.

So she is "boring" is a "Clinton" "a centrist" "with Monsanto and Wall Street" and we should vote for her.

The main reason I am not voting for her is because of her partnership with Monsanto and Wall Street. Uggg.


edited cuz it's at the end of the day I'm tired and old ...Bill Maher sorry.

This isn't a conventional election.

The people have the Internet and can talk to one another, discuss issues and bypass the M$M.

side all the time.

Bill is practical, but for my taste he is a bit premature.

He is also arrogant and obnoxious, but his voice is needed.

Part of the MSM or status quo?

and now he's so wrong about Hillary. His analytical skills are vastly overrated simply because he asserts some Captain obvious truths very bombastically.

i have W to thank for my low low expectations. i don't even want a preznit to try making the pie higher anymore, just don't put more religious wackjobs and corporate tools on the courts. and try to avoid wars. and not look like a complete dipstick for the whole world to laugh at us.

anything more is a bonus.

that the black guy with only a few years in Congress wouldn't stand a chance of winning.

And to date myself, I can remember in 1976 hearing "Jimmy who...?"

That trait over the past 25-ish years have kept Democrats warm while defending one grass-fire after another.

she has a annoying propensity to blame others who have become a vast conspiracy of people who regularly notice traditions, ethical fences, and a basic sense of playing by the rules mean nothing if the law can be stretched to drive a cart through it.

This latest wire-bending attempt to make acceptable that the internet is a safe haven for campaigns coordinating with super-pacs who pay their employees to sling mud just seems to be the latest example of such"boring" details.

He told the truth once after 9/11 and got shitcanned for it.

He's been intimidated and irrelevant since then. Almost as irrelevant as MSNBC.

He's a pompous windbag and a bigot.
