Good segment and and I agree

On Sunday morning, Meet the Press’ Harry Smith profiled Bill Maher during the comedian’s red state tour, and found him just as pugnacious about the GOP’s “useful idiots” on their home turf as he is on his HBO show.

“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.”

Just out of curiosity, how many of you Democrats own stock in Corporate America, whether through direct ownership or investment in pension plans?

What big corporations secretly like is more regulations and increased barriers to entry, providing there is no foreign competition. Now ask yourself which party favors more regulations. Now ask yourself what the end result is if more regulations lead to foreign competitors getting more business.

Bill Maher's credentials from Wiki:

Quote:

Maher was raised in River Vale, New Jersey, and graduated from Pascack
Hills High School


in Montvale in 1974. He then enrolled in Cornell University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in English and
history in 1978 Maher has
said selling pot allowed him to make enough money to get through
college and enter comedy
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.
