I am a social moderate, as I said.... I believe in the death penalty. I believe in Gun control I believe in cutting goverment spending I believe in lower taxes I believe in letting companies fail instead of bailing them out I believe in cutting all lobbyists I believe in removing any and all pork from bills - make everything visible. I am all over the map, should start a common sense party. DD
You know what Casey, I don't give a **** ! Label me however you like, it is of no consequence to me. DD
Little "behind the scenes" on this from Deadline Hollywood: link: http://www.deadline.com/2011/01/nbcu-statement-msnbc-and-keith-olberman-have-ended-their-contract-last-show-tonight/
I'd rather he go to Showtime, Maher is more than perfect for HBO. CNN had Lou Dobbs for god knows how long, they could probably handle Olbermann. I wouldn't mind seeing him take over Andy Rooney's spot on 60 Minutes, or making Nightline interesting.
Dude, your definitions are your own, they are not universal. You are about to find out. The New Centrist position will be socially liberal once they compromise the age limits on Entitlements. It's the only thing that makes sense to the budget issue. Obama will follow the same road as Clinton to a second term and a Republican Congress is going to lose the "It's The Economy, Stupid!" issue screwing around with a lot of crap that doesn't mean anything to people worried about their own money. Blues music and Populism do very well in hard times.
Keith hardly showed up for work anyway, especially over the last few months. Lawrence O'Donnell is an adequate replacement.
Was listening to Dan Patrick this morning and he offered Keith a spot on his show. I really hope not since I wouldnt be able to listen to sports talk radio anymore if that douche bag was on his show.
You have to understand, many on the Right, especially since Obama took office, consider you a commie, pinko, socialist, marxist, fascist liberal unless you side with conservative values on every....single....issue. I believe in gun ownership, capital punishment, etc. all that, but because I'm pro-abortion, I'm a liberal Commie. That's according to the multiple yahoos on the site of my local newspaper. For instance, after I read an editorial saying that cutting funding for the Moon space program was "going to lead to the Chinese colonizing the moon" and that "Barack Obama has an immense hatred of America," I called out both as ridiculous and this is what I got: "You liberals act like the things you believe are the truth and the real world and everything else that conservatives believe is fantasy. This is a false premise conjured up by your over active imagination." "If programs like the F-22 and other programs like anti-missile defense are discontinued or under funded, we will not be very strong long. The time for planning to counter China's move into outer space and the planets is now not wait until it is to late to do anything about it. Any successful counter operation is set into motion years ahead of when it might be needed so it is up to speed and will not take long to bring online when needed." "What is it with you liberals that you cannot carry on a conversation with some one that opposes your views without sliming, talking down to, and psycho babbling them?" "The Left always destroys our military when they are in power." "It's interesting to note, that the "government schools" are run by radical leftists. I seem to recall alot of emphasis placed on Hitler and the Nazis being very terrible. But for some reason Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Tito all were pretty much ignored. I wonder why?" "Despite the fact that Obama received a majority of the vote. The Obama, Pelosi and Reid "hard left" represents perhaps only 20% of the people. It's actually a tyranny we have going now." "Yes indeed Reagan had very low approval ratings at periods of his Presidency. The difference is that Ronald Reagan had policies which encouraged "economic growth". Reagan inherited a "recession", which in my opinion was worse than what Obama inherited." This is the stupid crap I have to deal with on a daily basis in my ultra-conservative town.
