1. not really..Lou just has to beat the "dems took money too" drum
don;t worry, he'll soon segue to the "bash the illegals" theme he prefers.

6. Does he ever "bash" the corporations that hire illegals?
I never watch him, but I've wondered if he goes after the Corporations too.

8. Lou is a CAPITALIST..he loves them.. His old show was a financial show
He harrumphs occasionally about outsourcing, but deep down he's in their camp..

14. Yes, he does ... and calls for jail terms, too.
He's not at all in favor of either importing labor or exporting jobs. He's NOT 'Voodoo Economics' advocate. He understands that good jobs mean a good market for the products and services.

10. from tribes IN HIS STATE. if he can't take $$ from his constituents
where is he supposed to fund raise?

the Native American community has been a stalwart supporter of Democratic candidates for decades, Jack-off was a minor blip of Republican fundraising in that community

9. Matthews and Nora O'Donnell did the same damed thing.
That was the 'meat' of their story, Reid said he wouldn't return his contribution because he actually gets LEGAL money from the 'Indian Tribes' in his state. Not that 99% of these rat-bastards are prominent Republicans INCLUDING THE FUCKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

excuse me
sometimes...

15. Spread the damage around
That's their marching orders.. Smear in a bi-partisan on every scandal!
Damn the facts, but but the dems did it.

That's the WH's only recourse, to hope that as the damage is done, that it gets spread around by the sheeple who will repeat the lies.

I guess this point was highlighted in the thursday morning Grover Norquist fax.

16. He was "smearing him" .....is my impression. Planting a worm in folks ear
about Dems. I'm not embarrassed to say, though...that I don't think Reid represents the Dem Party that I'm a member of these days. I can't figure out how both he and Daschle before him EVER were representative of the East /West Coast Dems.

I thought they were "planted." But, then, what do I know about it all. :-(

I don't get it? Something doesn't seem right.
