and conferences do these assholes attend? Don't any conservatives have jobs?

Every week it seems some piece of shit conservative shithole is infesting a conference center somewhere forcing a bunch of underpaid workers to delouse and disinfect the entire block after two or three days so normals can use it again.

may be the cause of this.

Also, if you can get names, we can see if those shouting him down are part of the No Labels caucus.

recently. I posted on them. Here is a link to the post and in the post is a ink to their website and a list of who they are. Think of them as a sort of like the Gang of Eight in the Senate. They work across party lines. They are center to center right as opposed to the Tea Party being far radical right. They are most definitely not liberals, though some of the Democrats carry some Progressive credentials. Republicans tend to be big business supporters and only neutral to lukewarm on religious social issues.

I turned off the television when I discovered that CNN and MSNBC are both broadcasting this scumbag and his equally scumbag supporters.

I don't do the all day news/political thing anymore. I don't think that the barking mad Cruz has anything new to say.

edit to add - Down thread someone said that that idiot Rand Paul is there too. No thank you.

But I do a lot of news/political watching during the afternoon (starting with Martin Bashir - sometimes I'll start with The Cycle).

I only caught Van Jones on CNN's Crossfire for a little bit. LOVED how he mopped the floor with Rafael Cruz.

But I have to wonder ... why are all networks airing Republicans this morning? Is it because they got their arses handed to them by the polls yesterday? Is it because they're losing ground against President Obama and Harry Reid and corporate media believes these anti-American segregationists need more airtime to bring their numbers up?

When corporate media starts broadcasting Republicans as if they can't get enough of these yokels, and then I read that some believe it's a good thing to expose them ... I always remember the saying: "There's no such thing as bad publicity".

and keep watching until Rev. Al is over. I haven't put CNN on for a long time.

I think the Repugs are trying to whip up some support. Their ship is sinking and maybe they are hoping these programs will be their life boat. It's kind of fun that raving yahoos are their best hope.


edit to add - Doesn't Value Voters sound like an off, off, imported from hell line of dubious grocery products?

I don't want to watch it either, but I will sacrifice and turn it on if it will drive you to go clean my bathrooms.

Starting today and all through this weekend, the freak show of all freak shows will be going on at the Value(less) Voters Summit. And with the shill RW-owned M$M ravenously covering it, America will see the loons put on their Sunday best for the cameras!

Oh, wait, I'm actually mopping the floor with concentrated ammonia in a poorly ventilated area.

Same effect.
