2. Add in the Blue Dogs and Single Payer people
and it's easy to see where a number like that would come from.

3. Sometimes I wonder if we're not the frogs in slowly boiling water...
where MSNBC is concerned. Granted, if you stick to Keith, Rachel and Ed you will not be cooked, but the rest of MSNBC is pretty much worse than CNN.

7. but they did not bill him as a republican strategist, they billed him as a political consultant
and they billed the woman as a dem strategist.

That is dishonest.

At least Chuck was not as horrible as he's been lately.

15. Quite frankly
What should have been written under Watkins' name is 'Republican asshat and total bald-faced liar'. More descriptive of what he actually is.
