Sorry, I can’t watch Madcow clips without projectile vomiting, or at least, violent dry heaves.

Madcow is the perfect Democrat spokesman. She is a flaming radical socialist atheist lesbian feminist propagandist. If she was also a disabled black Jew* on food stamps, she would be the entire Democrat base in one person.

* There are many cultural Jews who are atheists. Jews socially and by tradition but don’t believe in God, like George Soros is.

DAN BALZ, WASHINGTON POST: Not only because of revenue, but he dissented because he did not think it went far enough on healthcare. . LOWRY: Right. And that's the key thing. Even President Obama, who's cut $700 billion from Medicare, which I guess you support… MADDOW: Which Paul Ryan will keep doing… LOWRY: Do you support $700 billion in cuts in Medicare over the next ten years? MADDOW: I'm not running for president. LOWRY: Do you? MADDOW: I'm not running for anything. Paul Ryan is running for vice president. LOWRY: Do you? Why can’t you answer? See, you can’t answer. MADDOW: But wait, I'm not running for anything.. LOWRY: This is the key vulnerability. Democrats have cut $700 billion out of Medicare which you won't or can't defend it. Defend it. MADDOW: Is it good or bad? LOWRY: Do you support it? You can’t answer. MADDOW: But wait. Why are you asking me?

So she is going to ask Ryan because he's "running for Vice President" but won't ask Obama the same question who is now President and is running again to be President another 4 years...because she herself is not a candidate? What?

Known to a point. We still don’t know his history, and the Dems will want to hide the facts of the last 4 years, which ain’t pretty.

We need to press Obama to what is ahead in his plans. What exactly is the reason he wanted the Russians to play ball and hold out until after the election with that open mike incident with the Russian President? Why would he need to tell a potential adversary that he needed to wait until he didn’t need public opinion for his power in order to do...what?

A few suspicions I have of Obama in his second term, or prior to leaving office if he loses in November;
-Sweeping gun control, as much as he can ram down our throats, as fast as he possibly can.
-Unilateral nuclear disarmament.
-Massive cutbacks in military spending.
-Increased taxes on businesses and those making $100K.

In today's clip Maddow argues like the head of a high school cheer-leading squad when questioned by a kid from the 'out group'.

It's all attitude - eye rolling - and classically feminine. If a man acted like that people would use the term 'drama queen' and his ideas would be dismissed. Maddow's a smart woman - she's capable of better. I suspect she's been hanging out in liberal echo chambers too long...

And no, not all women use feminine wiles in a political debate... but Maddow is not among them...

[what's up]

Kewl!

Lowry gets tough and slams Madcow.

[LS]

Do you EVER get tired of posting this garbage?

[ClearCase_guy]

I tried to identify a real issue: the GOP creates a problem for itself when it splits the ticket with two Republicans who have fundamental disagreements.

You make a powerful and cogent argument against this observation, and yet I continue to think it is a problem.

[clintonh8r]

Why would anybody name his son “Rachel”?

[Chgogal]

You mean eye rolling like Gore did during the Gore/Bush debate?

[bray]

Why would she have to be running for anything to answer the question? She is an activist and spokesman for the President so of course her answer is relevant. It and being a lesbian is the reason she is on that program.

[LS]

How many "pure" tickets, or cohesive tickets, can you recall, especially on the GOP side? Reagan had Bush (much different than himself). Ford had tried to offer Reagan the VP slot. Kemp was a supply side pro-lifer who went with the RINO Dole. Even going back to FDR, Truman was brought aboard in 1944 specifically because he bucked up FDR's anticommunist creds.

So I don't think this is a fair criticism. It's politics, and has been for a century.

[publius911]

The fact is 99% of dim bulb moderates who will decide this election don't know Obama has already cut $700 billion from medicare.

And that is bad for him exactly why?

He added several times that much for his main constituency, welfare. The loudest, most destructive and "entitled" of all.

Like money in the bank.

[GOPJ]

Yes, just like Gore... mmmmm... Maybe switch it around and say it’s how dems debate? Nah, some wise freeper would point out a conservative male rolling his eyes... best to stop digging this hole. Thanks for sharing. :)

[Chgogal]

I have no idea what your are talking about and you bored me by not naming the conservative male. No need to reply you have been dismissed.

[GOPJ]

It was a joke - you missed it. I was giving into your point about it not being a feminine trait. Sorry you didn’t catch it. Oh, and the ‘you’re dismissed’ stuff is rude... childish...

[SuziQ]

Known to a point. We still don’t know his history, and the Dems will want to hide the facts of the last 4 years, which ain’t pretty.

Frankly, most voters don't CARE about Obama's history. They only care about the issues that effect them right now, and Paul Ryan can address those directly, to Obama's detriment.
