Vote for The Young Turks (Once Each Day) on the Audience Choice Voting Poll at www.vote.streamys.org/ (3/22/10 through 4/11/10)!

Summary: Cenk plays and breaks down a clip of John McCain pretending to be Winston Churchill (on health care). The most laughable point is when McCain tries to pretend that Obama and the Dems were too partisan.

2. Further evidence

of what a phenomenally crappy president he would have made. Getting nastier and meaner all the time.

3. The man is addled. Good luck AZ Republicans you got a choice between a grumpy

geezer who can't keep facts straight from week to week or JD Hayworth frequently considered the dumbest man in the House when he was there. Although, in the Senate he'd have stiffer competition - even from his own delegation. Please DLC, don't fuck up AZ like you did MA.

4. you know

the neocons keep saying the 'will of the people.' When the 'will of the people' overwhelmingly stated the Iraq war was a mistake and not worth the lives and money lost, Cheney simply said "so"? And now when a majority want insurance reform preferably in the form of a public option John is still saying 'so'? They really are fighting hard against democracy to keep the oligarchy. It's why they train their marionettes to dance to the tune that government is bad. Well it is when republicans are in control. Their goal is to dismantle it. As Norquist said "to drown it in a bathtub." But they still want us to keep paying taxes and fund their health care.
Hypocrisy much?

5. Thanks! I was thinking about that myself.

To the Republicans, the will of the people only matters when it seems to match their will. They didn't give a damn about that when they were pushing for war.

6. convenient is it

selective democracy :thumbsup:

7. Very. And I'm still not quite convinced they have

the will of the people. I think if they try telling the truth, the few people on their side will see it differently.

8. Nearly identical to a Repub proposal from 15 years ago?

No wonder I'm not enthused by it.
