Who said it, Bill Maher?

11. YUP

[noise]

2. Is he being disrespecful?

Should he apologize to all Democratic members of Congress? Should he be fired? Should he abstain from criticizing Democrats until at least Obama's 2nd term?

Thanks for posting the link

7. Ha! He was quietly funny. nt

5. In a way that is correct

Our party moved to the right trying to be more of a centrist party and hope that the independents would see that, even since the Republican rule started with Nixon. I think a slow shift to the left would do us all some good. I love some of these new polices, bills, and regulations that Obama is asking for, they are the move to the left I am happy to be seeing.

9. Too bad Nixon was such a thug in so many things, since in many ways

he was more liberal than any president we have had since.

10. I never thought I would live to see the day when I could possibly agree with that!

:rofl:

12. Couldn't agree with you more. nt

8. Paul Begala was great and Ms. McCain is going to have to find

a different speed than "blond".

13. Can I say one thing about the woman on the panel?

She said that uninsured people go to the emergency room the moment they have a headache or a sneeze and that it was the most expense way to get treatment. And I thought immediately of all the times I didn't go to the ER and of all the people I know who don't go to the ER even when they should because they can't afford it! :rant:

14. 5 minute New Rule and that's what you pull out.

Sounds like something Hannity does daily with Obama's speeches.

Maher makes a point.

15. They have been for some time

You know it's the truth. We have a Talibaptist Party with a Whig caucus, a conservative party with a few liberals and progressives, and one lone Socialist.

[checks-n-balances]

16. So true, unfortunately

It was a very true "New Rules" segment, but it hurt like hell.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Yes, they are. I recently posted the video for this here
