Liberals eat their own when they fail or can no longer be of use. Conservatives at least stand by their own right or wrong( more often than not). Neither side is admirable but at least conservatives know what loyalty is.

Ummmmm........you really haven't been paying attention to this little thing called the Tea Party movement have you?

Maybe you should take a hard look at what happened to Charlie Crist, Lisa Murkowski, and Mike Castle when they voted Progressive....Conservatives are the first to hold their own accountable.

The problem I have with this video isn't what CM says........for once CM is pretty spot-on.

The problem is the way it's being used by republicans. Obama being "elitist" does not mean Obama is wrong in any way....in fact part of the point of what CM is saying is that, average people do not understand Keynesian economics and so do not understand why the bailouts were absolutely necessary to prevent Great Depresstion Pt. II. Because of that, BO needs to explain to people rather than preaching.

He's not saying that his elitism makes him wrong in any real sense....it's just politically bad. Huge distinction.

But Obama has been wrong, in every sense, very wrong. The damage he has done to this country and future generations by running up the debt 3x higher than when he arrived in office is deplorable and just WRONG!

There will be great economic pain, all implementation of Keynsian economics did was prolong the pain and increase it rather than allowing us to face our medicine up front and get it over with quickly.

Much of the Republican narrative is just plain wrong. Shame this society is continually subjected by such a backwards element.

Yet, President Obama holds the superior position as does his supporters. Pubs, continue to chase your tails. This president doing an excellent job after given the worst mess in history courtesy of a Republican president.

Courtesy of the Democrat Congress of which Obama was part and parcel. Liberals always over look that little detail.

This is the spin that is going to give the House to the Republican Party. That's for keeping the narrative up! "You stupid American people just aren't SMART enough to agree with Obama."

Keep it up! Keep it up! Thanks for the assist!

Rally man, I'd agree with that.

I never put much stock in what Chris Matthews says about anything or anybody. He is a bush league journalist and I cannot fathom why he has reached such heights. The fact that he is wetting his finger and holding it up to the wind is yet more evidence of that.

Waited behind him at an ATM once. Would have told him off, but he had his kid with him.
