Chris Matthews Worried There Aren't Votes for Democrats to Buy in MA Tuesday

Things are looking so bad for Democrats in Tuesday's special election for the Senate seat vacated by Ted Kennedy that MSNBC's Chris Matthews is concerned there aren't any left-leaning votes for his Party to buy. "You know in the old days you'd go back to the people you were sure are going to vote Democrat...you'd get them lunch, you'd get them a car, you'd make sure they got to the polling place, and in some cases you'd be buying people to get them."

[T.L.Sink]

A quote attributed to a member of English House of Lords in the nineteenth century is certainly applicable to Matthews: "He never opens his mouth without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge."

Well, maybe that's what the SEIU is up to down in Haiti.

In addition to earthquake relief, of course.

And there you have it ping

[stephenjohnbanker]

Matthews is a sociopath.

Matthews: "He never opens his mouth without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge."

Amen. He was always liberal but he used to be coherent and accurate.

Now he appears ill. He needs help. And an exit from the TV.

[my small voice]

Is that sarcasm?? Did he actually SAY that?

[FreedBird]

Can’t Coakley or Obama pay someone off or fix the votes at the ballot box? They will try to win anyway they can without regards to ethics.

He considers 2008 *the old days*??

I like the quote, it truly does fit.

If a Pubbie had said this he would be asked to resign ... from whatever job (political or other) he was in.

[library user]

Yes, he did. I saw it. It was Friday night, during a discussion with Chuck Todd. Ed Schultz - also on MSNBC - suggested committing voter fraud, if necessary, to win Tuesday’s election.

C’mon Chrissy....that’s old hat! Phonied absentee ballots are where it’s at now! Ten thousand ballots are sent out, 35,000 come back, all marked for Coakley. And as Sec of State of Mass, she naturally declares signature matching unnecessary!

Chris Matthews is this guy brain dead or just totally ignorant of election law. Buying votes. Or does he know something that we do not know ACORN buys votes for cigarettes. Ask the wisconsin RAT from Milwaukee wisconsin when her son got busted for slashing tires on the republican rented vans get out the vote. or in Ohio when the re was illegal access to information on a guy Joe the Plumber because he asked a question about spreading the wealth. whatever happened about the 800 K given to ACORN by Obama for audio services, better known as purchasing votes.. But Chris matthews is oblivious to election law. this guy is a newsguy. where can I sign up for that kind of job, be stupid and get paid for it. Opps that is what the O administration is already doing. Probably would get arrested because the Government does not like competition just like stealing, it is outlawed because the government does not like competition. Corruption has not improved has only gotten higher up in the government

Ed Schultz was actually proud of it.

These guys don’t even hide it anymore. It’s right there, right out in the open when Mathews says, right there on TV, there are no votes to buy.

[taildragger]

The Tingler and all his ilk know the dance is over. I don't have one of those fan-dangled TV's with the mini screens of other stations. However, somewhere between 8 pm and 10 pm they facial expressions and body language will change. It will Shadenfraude-delicious to watch

We need to capture it and post them.

Andrea Mitchell will have a cow....

“Ethics?” You have got to be Kidding!!!!!!!!!
CROAKLEY(sp) and OBOZO don’t even know the daffynition of “ETHICS!”
CROAKLEY and OBOZO will break every Law in the Books to WIN!! They dont give a Shite about the Laws of AMERICA!
CROAKLEY and OBOZO are the LAW of OBOZOLAND and OBOZO Must Win and Keep CROAKLEY lest he falls off the Fence and breaks his Egghead!

where can I sign up for that kind of job, be stupid and get paid for it.
