Lawrence O'Donnel on McLaughlin is hot tonight!
He's talking about how the states who pay are being governed by the ones who receive. He has the Repubs coming out of their chairs!

6. Eleanor commented at the start
When the guys said that Bush won on the morality thing, she said that there are more honky tonk, strip joints in the "moral" south than in the blue states.

17. That's an odd morality standard.
I would prefer she use "cross-burners" and "mother-stabbers"...or something.

26. Why should they? Their leader is the
biggest slacker to ever steal his way into office. Why as we speak the lazy slug is "relaxing" after his pre-election lie fest. He never saw a bail out he didn't like and was bailed out plenty most of his life.

10. Red State Welfare Moochers -- Atrios may have been partially kidding...
... in this post to the Eschaton blog, but the meme has caught on.

Glad to hear that Larry inflamed the Human Hemorrhoids in Pope John's encounter group...

20. Red state welfare! Red state welfare! Red state welfare!
Party of personal responsibility my ass.

And your television shows are filled with slop and filth, yet you make fun of us for watching programs like C-span. Convenient Christians, sin all week and claim redemption every Sunday like you're gathering green stamps for Heaven.

Yes, oh yes, the backlash cometh!!

23. Speaking of Moral Majority,
this is what I told a radical today... from now on I call them what they are... RADICALS

How do we retake the so called values side?

Welll Al Franken did it this morning with his resident ditto head, and I did it out of anger this afternoon

Well I was minding my own bussiness when the local radical said, it is cold

Yep winter is here

Well it could be worst, you cuold be in New York (the sneering tone was all I needed)

You're right, it could be worst, I could be in Missisipi

You have no morals

Well you only care about sex. You only care about Adam and Steve, what happened to though shall not lie, though shall not steal, though shall not kill, though shall not covet yoru neighboors wife, which could also be translate to his wordly possesions, and though shall not put others in front of me? When did these commandments become optional?

But, but

You don't care about poverty, that is optional to you, not to Christ. You do not care about lies, Chrst woudl have been horrified. IN other words your moral majority only cares about one issue, and you do worship a false god, MONEY ( was tempted to say Bush, as some fundies believe him to be the direct representative of god if not worst, which incidentally is heresy). He just stood there as if I had hit him on the gut, I did not apologize

Then he said, What you think things are going to get worst? You could almost see it in his eyes, what did I do?

Yes, because of YOUR MORAL CHOICES, when your only daugheter is DRAFTED... don't cry to me. When you cannot put food on the table, don't cry to me... when you have no health insurance, don't cry to me. You made that moral choice about Adam and Steve, so Adamn and Steve will not marry, not that they were going to marry before... but now your only daugher will get a free and all paid vacation to Fallujah... enjoy the hell on earth you have made. Unfortutately I have to live in it... but you are right, Adamn and Steve will not marry, victory for you... and you dare call that morality. What is even sadder is... you vote on one issue... not noticing how they are fleecing you... because they covet YOUR wordly possetions and yes, even your daughter.

I think the idea of his only daugher going to war really scared him... you could, no pun intended, see the fear of god in his eyes.

24. Lawrence O'Donnel bugs me
He spent an entire interview with John O'Neill screaming liar, liar, liar!. He actually made the Swift Boat Veterans look rational.

I like Eleanor so much better.

25. I didn't notice him until last week's show
he was very non-descript for a while. He's suddenly come alive. I'll have my eye on him.

27. I'm very glad that's coming up
I want to see the blue states get to keep more of their money, because we're going to need it to fund things that the fed never will. I think I've just gone over to being pro-states rights for the first time in my life.

29. Yeah that was great
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 11:11 PM by WorstPresidentEver
we need more people to come out on the attack like that. If we are going to be completely out of power we can start to tell it like it is LOUD and in no uncertain terms. No need to beat about the bush as there will be no political consequences. Thats how the Conservatives built their movement. Hopefully it won't take as long for us as it did for them and we won't make the fatal mistake that they did right at the brink of victory and get co-opted by wackos.
