1. Damn that guy is good...

Melber's the best pro-Obama talking head out there.. he just shuts down the R's!
:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Wetzelbill]

3. I wish we could send Melber, David Sirota and Cliff Schecter out every time

Paul Begala is good too.

7. Cliff Schechter...that's the name I was trying to remember. That dude

is a rePUG slayer. I wish he was out there all the time, front and center.

[Wetzelbill]

9. I don't think people mess with Cliff much anymore

Not exactly somebody you would want to debate on tv, he's a bulldog.

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. You have a point. Unlike Ms. Palin, Cliff really is a "pitbull".

[gateley]

2. I like Joe Watkins. I wish he was on our side. nt

[Wetzelbill]

5. He irritates me

But I suppose if he was on this side of the aisle I'd really like the guy, lol. He's a pretty solid GOP flack, makes some good points. McCain has some sorry surrogates but he's a good representative, I'd get him out there more and bench Tucker Bounds.

[gateley]

10. He presents his side well (even though its BS) as opposed to those whiny

surrogates you usually see speaking on these kinds of shows - who don't seem to KNOW anything except the current talking points. He at least appears knowledgeable and informed. He let the other guy speak, and didn't keep talking over the interviewer's questions. Just comported himself with a lot more class. Tucker Bounds, on the other hand... He's the one I'd like to lock in a trunk until November 5.

6. never heard of Joe Watkins- what's to like?

and what would he bring to our side if he were on it?

just asking- seems like a nice enough guy.

[gateley]

11. I was just reacting to how he presented himself, I think. With class. No hand

waving, talking over the host, hysterical Tucker Bounds type of stuff. So when I think class, I think Obama. :7 He must not be very intelligent, though, since he's a Republican. :evilgrin:

[stlsaxman]

16. roger, that- on the intelect front!

you are right also that he debated nicely.

4. Tell it Ari! Loved how he called McCain out as a liar.

On the other hand, it's always painful to see a brother be a mouthpiece for the GOP.

[Wetzelbill]

8. oh yeah

I'm a Blackfeet Indian, and Indians are almost all Dems, it's pretty rough to see one on the other side, lol. Not too many are though. Same with seeing another minority, like Watkins, it's so frustrating to see that! I just think of all the BS Republican stuff like the voter suppression or the Southern Strategy etc. I have no patience at all with that stuff. I have a close friend who is from the same reservation and he was a Republican and very pro-war. (not a chickenhawk, he has served in the Army) We did some serious battles over the years, I finally turned him, I think he just got sick of me smacking him around in emails etc. Actually, I think 8 years of hell finally turned him more than I have.

[quiet.american]

13. You're good, Wetzelbill! Thumbs up for keeping it real with your friend. nt

[Narkos]

14. FUCK YEAH!!!!! I love that guy!!!!!!!

Little drunk, sorry for yelling....

[Wetzelbill]

15. hell yeah

Have a few more for me! Well ok, you're probably passed out by now, but still.... :)

17. Kick!
