Why does Republican Dylan Ratigan have a show on MSNBC?
"Infrastructure investment is bad!!!11"

He needs to be called out just like the infiltrator on Daily Kos. He's exactly the same.

1. I don't know
but agree that he needs to be called out.

But MSNBC also has a FAUX & Friends wannabe show on every morning stacked with Republicans. That needs to be called out too.

7. So infrastruture being bad is a bi-partisan stance that he's taking, hey?
Cause he's won't let the Dems off the hook with that brain fart,
and therefore agrees with the Republicans, who also think that it is bad?

Brilliant on his part, cause who knew? :crazy:

3. Yep.
The closer we get to elections,
the more of a Republican he will become....
but hey, he was able to fool some of the people
all of the time, so nothing lost, and everything to gain
for his ilk.

6. I do not look at him...
He is so negative - according to him, nothing that is done is good - nothing - sometimes I even wonder if he really truly believes that he has the answer to it all. He probably even negates whatever he suggests! Sad - just sad! :thumbsdown:

8. He's all over the map, like Tweety is
and is just as likely to ream some Republican talking head who says the same thing tomorrow.

spend any stimulus to produce jobs. First of all it doesn't produce one single (job) it puts someone to work for a short time until the money is gone. Just like the clunker program, census and the home buyers credit once the money drys up that's it.

13. Dylan is not a Republican. He certainly plays it down the middle.
Often the truth hurts.

More and more Republicans will get shows because Progressives
refuse to watch Television. Refuse to get out and promote
it the ways Fox viewers do for Fox.

18. What did he actually say?
I'm guessing it's not exactly what you're pretending he said.
