Scarborough is delusional. He's... |
|
...saying this turnout is like 2004 Bush evangelicals...and somehow they have moved over to Obama. He's nuts!

5. That may not be far from the truth |
|
Some of the lesser wacky Evangelicals (much as I dislike them) have seen the light (pun intended) and feel Obama's campaign more closely follows Christ's teachings. They're embarassed to be Republican/Conservative.

15. Their skin must crawl when they think of Dick Cheney. |
|
How could Christian voters be happy with him?

6. I think you misunderstood |
|
I heard it and what I think he meant was Obama supporters were motivated in the same way that Evangelicals were for Bush in 2004, not that they were the same people. 99.9% sure that is what he was saying as I heard the same segment.
Scarborough is actually one of the more tolerable Repugs on TV for me. I hated him when he was in Congress and when he first got on TV, but I think TV has mellowed him to at least some degree where he can be intellectually honest (at least sometimes) with bad news for the GOP. Anyone agree with that?

8. No, not really. He was trashing Dem lawyer volunteers at the polls today. |
|
And he's trashed the Obama campaign for outrageous reasons. I have no respect. None at all.

9. He's hideous in his horrible morning show but |
|
when surrounded by the rational people (Keith, Rachel) and sometimes rational (Tweety) he seems to be more honest.

If I was making a list of people relative to intellectual honesty, Scarborough would be piled in with 99 percent of the other R propogandists who are given media time on the last line.
He put his finger to the wind two years and a half years ago before the 06 elections and opened up on Bushco a bit, but since then has gotten WELL back into homer mode.
All of that aside, MJ has all the makings of an abusive family, him being the abuser, Mike being the substance abusing enabling spouse and all the guests being the children who fit into their roles. He is a genuinely beastly person, from someone who spent 15 years going grass roots social work with families at risk of having children placed, he is the PROTOTYPE guy who has a smarmy charm, but CLEARLY underneath is a highly controlling person who is CLEARLY capable of those things that people know he did.

bleck...
I loved how, once Joe S was done rambling delusionally, Gregory just said, "Thanks Joe," and immediately went to someone else with no further discussion of his "wisdom." He looked like a fool.:evilgrin:

11. He's only delusional to the extent that his bank balance insulates him from America. |
|
He'll be whoring all night for money.

12. I think he meant to say evangelicals were excited about voting in '04 |
|
and not so much now, but different people, maybe more people, are excited about voting today. He was implying that the excitement this time around is not unusual. In that, he is incorrect. The level of excitement, the amount of excitement, the history being made, the record-shattering turnout, these are all unusual.
I voted for the first black president of the United States! And more important to me, for the first time in my life, I voted for a candidate I am really happy with, who I predict will do a great job as president. Every other time, I held my nose and voted for the one I thought was least bad. I expect Obama to be the best president we've had in a long, long time. And I predict he wins re-election in 2012 in an even bigger landslide.
