What Have Conservatives Ever Done For Us? (w/Guest Julio Rivera)

[thomhartmann]

Thom debates Julia Rivera on the role and legacy of conservatives in American history. Did they actually do anything? Liberals, progressives and socialists have brought us the weekend, the eight hour workday, social security, Civil Rights, the GI Bill.... What have conservatives contributed to our society?

2. If Thom is purposing a question for debate he should be ready with a strong argument of

quick facts.

3. Conservatives seek to conserve their position by any means.

4. It is so interesting to see

a Latino support the republican party, when will they learn republicans are only going to use them and then send them to an office in the basement once they are done with them? Just like it happened to Mel Martinez during Bush, after the campaign no one heard from him again, he was thrown in the basement with his red stapler...he went back to Florida and retired from public office quietly, away from the spotlight, and I can only guess to avoid the embarrassment of having to explain his time as a ghost in Washington.

And as always, this Julio guy debates just as a republican does, doesn't listen and tries to drown the other person when they try to make a point. I could not finish watching it.

Also, for Julio to bring taxes, when it has been proven time and time again that the trickle down from the Reagan era did more damage to the economy than any other economic experiment has ever done in modern time.
