So Joe Scum is praising Coburn for 'staying true'!!

Is that staying true to Ensign, the Family, ReTHUGs in general or what???

I shouldn't be surprised that Joe Scum erases history when it suits him - after all there was no dead intern in his office - not ever.

do the Republicans always want to cut programs that help people the most? They criticize Obama
for not identifying cuts but neither do they either. Well, except of course Romney cutting Big Bird

They are government raiders.
Why else would people who say they hate government run for office???

benevolence for others. Not to others in need but to others making money. They may never know or ever benefit from
privatizing the USPS, for instance, but they are for it. I guess it's a feeling that if the door opens for someone else to profit, then another is more likely to open for me?

They are still in pain because the gang had all the arrangements in place to fire civil servants and contract the work to themselves at ten times the price.

They are thieves masking behind a bogus ideology.

to your viewers and tell them exactly HOW much of their SS or Medicare or Medicaid you think should be cut in order to "save" those programs.

Only when and until he does that, will he ever not look hypocritical...

someone to be on Morning Joe who is not afraid to challenge Joe. Someone who is adept at debate and
has all the facts at hand. Many who appear on the show who lean more to the left are intellectually lazy
and because they don't know the facts, they don't challenge him. Probably need someone from DU on
there !

Now that I have Chris Hayes show on Sat. and Sun. it's much better. Chris's guests are younger, hipper, brighter and frankly, more interesting. Joe's gang is old and out of date.

...while piddling all over his leg

Joey was so "disappointed" and "concerned" that the President is talking directly to the American people rather than continuing to play the beltway circle-jerk games. He wants to get invited to the C Street poker games...

which set me off screaming at the tv: "BY ENTITLEMENTS DO YOU MEAN MY SOCIAL SECURITY THAT I HAVE PAID INTO ALL MY LIFE? I'LL TRADE YOU YOUR RETIREMENT BENEFITS FOR MINE, EVEN THOUGH I WORK HARDER IN MY SLEEP THAN YOU DO WIDE AWAKE, YOU WORTHLESS, DO-NOTHING PIECE OF SHIT!"

Just as I was finishing up, my neighbor walked past and looked over to my wide open screen door. I suppose by sunset the grapevine will have me and hubby getting divorced, lol.
