The man is getting more and more desperate. He's a hypocrite anyway, he works for a big media corporation that pays him millions to be a TV atheist troll on a network hardly anyone subscribes to.

I think Democratic Voters are Hollywood's useful idiots. All these Liberal celebrities tell people how to vote and they do it accordingly. Monkey see, monkey do. It's far easier being a liberal than it is being a conservative because the Liberal Establishment will always tell you how to think and how to feel through their control of pop culture.

How do you explain Bills high 5ng of the rising stock market claiming its because Obama was so successful? Wouldnt that represent Bill Maher and Obama as being a corporate idiot he so attacks the GOP for being?

Kind of funny coming from this idiot, considering how corporatist the Democrats are themselves. Don't let this moron get it twisted, both sides are useful idiots voting for corporatism on both sides.

Maher has a point to an extent: single issue voters like the evangelicals vote in far right deregulationists all because they quoted scripture at their campaign rallies.

That said, both Republicans and Democrats, from city council up to the Presidency, are owned by corporate America.

“In the last twenty years, it’s not really been a choice,” Maher said as to whether Democrats or Republicans were more to blame for the country’s current malaise. “They just drove the short bus to crazy town.”

“I understand why the richest 1% vote Republican,” Maher continued. “They deserve those votes. They represent the richest 1% perfectly. Anybody else who does, just corporate America’s useful idiots.”

And yet he always misses how the same 1% are pandering to Obama and the dems to get their free slice of the pie, thru taxpayer funded subsides, grants, tax breaks and loan guarantees... all of which Obama is handing out in record numbers.

Obama is the biggest offender to crony capitalism this nation has ever seen, and Maher and his ilk are too partisan to admit it. I'm at least giving them the credit for having enough intelligence to see it.

Not all of them, and some definitely more then others. The current leadership in Washington for both parties certainly are sellouts.

Bill Maher's credentials from Wiki:



I ain't impressed. Maybe ya can quote Octomom and Snooki next.

Does not Bill work for corporate America?

Just like Bill corporate America gives me a paycheck and produces goods and services I purchase. Democrats are government's useful idiots.
Corporate America are the ones who sent all of Americas high paying manufacturing jobs to Asia (so they could get cheaper labor.) That's why you can't find a tv, dvd player, or cell phone made in America.


Corporate America is also responsible for most low wage jobs in America.
Low-Wage Workers Employed Mostly By Large, Highly Profitable Corporations: Report


And large corporations only create 25% of America's new jobs, its small and medium sized businesses that create 75% of Americas new jobs.

Bill is so spot on. And it is why the Dumbing Down of America is calculated, targeted, and highly effective. Today's Republican voter is almost zombie-like, believing exactly what they are told by Rush/Beck/Hannity/Breitbart etc., etc., doing, and voting, how they are told, repeating FOX News bullet points like Pavlov's dog slobbering at the dinner bell.
