Largely I bet, huge government and anti-freedom are staples of the GOP.

Why would I be embarrassed? He's spot on with his statements. Today's GOP does not give a damn what the proposal is, if it's not from a right winger, they hate it no matter what.

How do you justify the continuation and expansion of the Patriot Act, the addition of NDAA, and the utter failure to repeal any of the abuses of the Bush administration during Obama's time in office?

Get a clue. Your Democrats suck every bit as badly as their Republican counterparts. Your incessant efforts to show your party as something better than the Republicans serve to illustrate your concerns have little if anything to do with addressing the problems we face as a nation and everything to do with pimping your party of preference.

Both parties suck. You're a fool if you believe Democrats are any more concerned about you than are Republicans.

Three governors from top meat producing states defending one of their industries? Alert the press! And Maher blames it on conservative opposition to liberal causes?

Hope this clears things up for you.

Do you want to talk about opposition to policy down party lines? How about the fact that Guantanamo Bay was the crime of the century until Obama got into office? Suddenly, silence from the Left.

The plague that is right wing fascism has infiltrated the democrats as well, there is no denying that. With NDAA, the patriot act, and other far right, anti-freedom bills, they are presented and supported nearly unanimously by the GOP/tea party, and about 50/50 with the democrats.
It's fair to say nearly all of the GOP/tea party hates freedom and the constitution, and about half of the democrats.
That's another reason why everyone whom is sane gets a good laugh out of the right wing goons that pull the socialist/communist/marxist garbage, Obama is a center/right republican.

That is because Republicans are good at statistics and math, and want to save this country. Trying here to figure out how to help them.... Oh yes... elect a competent president.

Bill Maher's show is not subject to ratings because HBO does not make its money from advertising. HBO makes money from getting new subscribers. The way they get new subscribers is by touting award winning shows. Question: Who nominates and votes for TV awards? Answer: Hollywood. Ergo, Bill Maher says cr*p Hollywood wants to hear.

Always, follow the money.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with right wing fascism. It has everything to do with an out of control political class ignoring it's responsibility to it's electorate. The left does not get a free pass.

Please keep up with your partisan bullsh!t. It's amusing to watch you trying to exempt Democrats from shouldering the blame for the same abuses committed by the Republicans you despise.

Do you honestly believe anyone other than your fellow zealots takes you seriously?

This has everything to do with fascism. The military industrial complex, the chamber of commerce funneling billions of dollars coming in from out of the nation to pay off politicians, and in the end, it all comes down to their vote. Do they vote for freedom and the constitution? Or do they vote for their cronies. The GOP/tea party has made it clear they don't give a damn about anyone but their corporate masters, and half of the democrats are sell outs as well.

Even your fellow libertarian Ron Paul thinks so,..
