Tweety asked Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) on how things will get better in 4 years...he stresses Tax Cuts

[MadBadger]

Tax Cuts, and Tax Credits on buying homes....Tax Cuts? Really Bill? Really? What kind of Democrat are you? A Stupid one, that is for sure.

[Thrill]

1. No surprise. The Conservative Democrats are more of a problem

than Republicans

[Yavin4]

19. Please Tell That To Paul Krugman

He doesn't seem to get it.

[AndyA]

2. How are tax cuts going to help people without jobs, Sen. Nelson?

How will those people even see tax cuts? No payroll. No house for very long. How will tax cuts impact those 3+ million who have lost their jobs in the last year or so?

And, of course, there'll be no home buying without JOBS, Sen. Nelson.

Are you seeing the HUGE, GAPING, WIDE HOLE in your thought process, Sen. Nelson? Really, you should be a Republican with STUPID ideas like this.

[MadBadger]

3. He really stressed the tax cuts, and then was like "Oh, and the infrastructure too"

Just at the end.

[Hello_Kitty]

8. He has never not sounded like a Republican douche. nt

[cherish44]

4. A little off topic but why is Chris Matthews called Tweety?

I just started watching MSNBC, I even call him Tweety now...but what's the story behind the nickname?

[MadBadger]

5. He looks like the bird

[cherish44]

6. Gotcha!

True dat.

[ipfilter]

7. He sort of talks like Tweety too. nt.

[vaberella]

14. No...he spits when he gets excited...more like Sylvester. n/t

[DevonRex]

11. I had to ask that, too, a few months ago. I was pretty sure it was the bird thing,

but had to ask just to make sure. :hi:

[quantass]

13. According to Wikipedia its because he looks like the Cartoon character

[vaberella]

15. Yeah there was a thread on that a while back.

Apparently on DU they weren't sure what to call him. But then one of his peeps was on DU and said that Chris Matthews crew called him Tweety because of the canary yellow colour he dyes his hair. And then it started to stick.

[demo dutch]

9. Nelson voted Yea this morning ( he usually comes thru)

[ChiciB1]

12. Nelson Helped Me Recently With Bank Of America Problem So I Don't

want to be too harsh on him, but he IS a DINO! I almost fell over when he voted against TARP, I NEVER would have predicted THAT!

But it IS time for him to run for re-election you know! I miss Bob Graham... all the time!

[demo dutch]

18. TARP was a terrible piece of legislation, we're paying the price now. Hopefully Geitner will

improve the situation. As Senators go, nelson is probably right for the mixed electorate of Florida, if he were more progressive he'd have a hard time getting re-elected in our state

[ChiciB1]

20. I'm Sure He Would... But Being That I'm A Boomer I Remember When Florida

was much more Democratic and our Senators weren't DINO's. My daughter thinks that Kendrick Meek actually has a chance to win if he runs for Senator. I like him, but I don't think he can win. I suspect Jebby is going to run and I know I hear it all the time, how much he's liked here in Florida.

Not by me of course, but I think that this is going to be JEBBY'S next political move, and then he'll make his stab at POTUS! What a frightening thought that is, but I would bet money that he is thinking this way!

[demo dutch]

22. I don't think Jebb will run, the climate isn't right. I isn't his style to be part of the minority

part and the junior senator

[anonymous171]

10. Panem et Circum. nt

[baldguy]

16. Right, because tax cuts have worked so well the last eight years.

[kenny blankenship]

17. Tax cut: there should be a tax on that word.

The Stupid never stops.

[Mudoria]

21. You mean Chris Matthews?
