82. Well, This Is Too Bad... While I Do Feel Sharpton Is A Democrat I Have
not been watching the show lately. I've tried to get through it quite a few times and it's not actually the content. First it was how his voice grated on my nerves, then it was the constant OVER-TALKING that sent me up the wall. So now, at 6:00 I no longer watch MSNBC at all. Just turn the TV off. I do try to watch some of Tweety most of the time, but his 2nd show I switch the channel.

Of those who are left who have their own shows, O'Donnell and Tweety are my least favorite. But I also must confess I've been trying NOT to listen to ANY of it lately! Just too depressing and I can't take the daily betrayal I feel by Obama and our Congress critters.

Ratigan OTH, I DO try to watch as much as possible. While I know he isn't a Democrat and I feel he's a bit more libertarian, I do feel that he's VERY informative and I honestly think he takes on Big Corp, Pharma, Insurance and the other big HOGS aggressively. If that includes Obama and the administration then so be it, because IMO they should be taken on. Obama has many, many people in his administration that I feel are REALLY part of the problem. Geithner is probably one of the very worst, and his ties to Goldman Sachs is really reprehensible to me. But there are others too, and Obama has done very, very little to rid himself or even tamp down on them at all.

While I sit out here worrying every day about what crap gets thrown at us, I only get more upset that so little job creation is being done. And NOW, the Big 3 are being thrown around like they are nothing but another slice of the pie!! And to that, Dylan Ratigan has constantly berated all in D.C. about and I thank him for it.

Anyway, 6:00 PM will not be off permanently even though I think Sharpton's heart is in the right place, he's just not my cup of tea. Believe me I've tried quite a few times to go back and give him another chance, but finally I've had to give it up. Communication just doesn't seem to be his best asset. It's too bad, wish they would get David Shuster or someone like that back if they don't want Uyger.

BTW, Uyger used to be a Republican... I checked his bio out the other day. Google him on Wikipedia, who knew?
