Mark Halperin blames President Obama for being too partisan...
By John Amato Thursday Jan 29, 2009 1:33pmMark "Matt Drudge Rules the World" Halperin was on Morning Joe earlier today and blamed President Obama for the fact that no House Republicans voted for the stimulus bill. One of the Village elders has spoken. I've heard him say foolish things before, but is he using Limbaugh's maid? What was Obama supposed to do, win the election, the House and the Senate and turn the stimulus package over to John Boehner and Rush Limbaugh? Is this man insane? I've written many times that I thought President Obama went too far in trying to wooooo Republicans for bipartisanship. They were never going to sign up.
Halperin: "This is a really bad sign for Barack Obama to try to change Washington.... He needs bipartisan solutions. They went for it and they came up with zero.... The House Republicans are more partisan....[This] does not bode well for a future that is supposed to be post-partisan. [...]
"[Obama] could have gone for centrist compromises. You can say to your own party, 'Sorry, some of you liberals aren't going to like it, but I am going to change this legislation radically to get a big centrist majority rather than an all-Democratic vote.' He chose not to do that, that's the exact path that George Bush took for most of his presidency with disastrous consequences for bipartisanship and solving big problems."
President Obama and the entire Democratic Congress were elected by the American people to change the direction our country is headed since conservatives have ruined our economy and most everything else under George Bush and the Republican led Congress. Villagers always fall back to their favorite term to smear liberals with. "Centrism." Only Democrats are supposed to be centrist in the minds of many Villagers, but never Republicans. Conservatives are the grownups and the left are dirty f*&king hippies who just want to trash the White House.
Listening to Mark Halperin in this clip should explain why blogs like C&L have gotten so popular. The Villagers are going to destroy this country. They helped Bush get elected over Gore, they led cheers for the Iraq war, and now they are supporting the Republican party at a time when this country faces a tremendous crisis.
I'm trying to wrap my head around Halperin's logic here. By his reasoning, the only appropriate thing for Obama to do was let Republicans -- who failed at governing, and who've been rejected by voters -- shape the bill, addressing the crisis they helped create. If the far-right House GOP caucus was unsatisfied, it was Obama's responsibility to make them happy. Why? Because Mark Halperin says so. This is absurd.
Media Matters has a rundown of the zombie lies now in circulation about the bill, but suffice to say that there was no shortage of people willing to sacrifice the American economy for political gamesmanship. The Republicans unleashed their inner Church Lady and demanded contraception be cut for the sinfully promiscuous poor, then complained they didn't "get" anything in the bill and turned the whole thing into a well-choreographed publicity stunt. They looked like a bunch of petulant, narcissistic brats and did a nice job of making Obama appear measured and statesmanlike by comparison.
Obama is facing a weaker Republican Party but a much bigger set of problems, with the stakes being exponentially higher. We just don't have time for this nonsense again. At some point, the Democrats are going to have to confront their central political problem, which is that the conservatives are not appeasable and that political and media elites have either been brainwashed by conservative propaganda or are conservatives by choice and they have to convince the citizenry that their ideology is better for their personal well being and the well being of the country. Until that happens, the conservatives will remain in power even as an opposition force and their failed ideology will continue to destroy this country. This isn't a game anymore. They have to pass good policies.

..did a magnanimous thing by 'courting' the GOP vote. The GOP did what the GOP does: nothing except breed fear and contempt. I hope this is the end of the courting and the beginning of the age of Progressive Politics. Good-bye GOP, don't let the door hit you on the way out!
First
Halperin is just another version of Bill Kristol. Both want to use the US to invade and destroy anyone who doesn't bow down to Israel's slaughter of Palestinians. One neocon referred to invading Arabic and Persian countries....controlled chaos.Nice people...aren't they?
Halperin was o-so-happy when the neocons could manipulate brain dead GWBush. Obama..not so much...and they are pissed.
Republicans think bipartisan means that Democrats bend over and the Republicans get everything they want. These Republicans who gave the Democrats nothing for fifteen years, how the bullies cry when the tables are turned. Let 'em cry. Let's move on.
Obama TRIED to work with the lowlives which comprise the GOP, but they took the low road as usual. I hope he learned a lesson and will now play hardball.
Obama bent over backwards for the GOP on this. But again this is the GOP plan be obstruction and Make sure something that would pass won't work. Use Obamas wanton need for Biparstionship against him and the democrats. Then turn around and Go on a media blitz to make sure the lie is accepted as the truth.
nailed it.
Crafty devils! They painted Bush 2008 as "too liberal" and distanced themselves from him and his "big spending". Now they are trying to equate Obama with GWB's policies.
They can plan and connive, and we can't even pass a bill when we are the only voting block in the room!
To blame Obama for not being able to persuade folks whose success will be determined by his failure is beyond stupid. Limbaugh told the truth about the GOP's game plan.
Halperin is one of the librul media types, right?
Even after Halperin got on his knees and gave him the intellectual equivalent of a Big Lewinski to try and prove otherwise.
What happened, they ran out of Bud Light at the Obama Beer Bash?
mark halperin is one of the most trusted and credible sources in the msm, so this MUST be true
bwahahahaa...
i can't keep a straight face...
AND NANCY SAYS SO, TOO!!!
what does Rush Limbaugh think about it.. Give me a break.
another one of those librul media guys.
FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK!
:-[)
...that Republicans are delusional. But I have to say that I think Obama might be delusional too if he seriously thinks any Republicans want to work with Democrats.
As it seems to me, Mr. Obama did exactly the right thing. He gets to go out and say "I did my best to listen and understand what the other side wanted, I negotiated in good faith, I want to represent everyone in this country." Then the congress passes legislation that does little to compromise, that actually helps America. Then Mr. Obama can sign it. Let the republicans cry all they want at that point. Then the next time a big piece issue comes along Mr. Obama reaches out again and gets to remind the little party of how well their tactics worked before.
Isn't a partisan a Japanese bash?
runs around high fiving at Obama's stimulating bill, who says it's going to do anything to help the economy? It's full of crap is what it is. Lots of "future" things. Well guess what? In the future the recession will end as all do. Why should everyone jump on the panic "spend like rich people" bandwagon? Even much highly publicized Paul Krugman thinks the bill is a joke. A partisan joke. Just because the Reps didn't vote yay, doesn't mean their crap isn't in it too.
Oh and once passed, watch the trade wars erupt. That'll help the economy. Protectionism deepened the depression in the 30s. This bill is complete protectionism.
there's a bigger thing afoot.
The fact that all House Repubs voted against the stimulus bill sets the Repubs up to crow loudly if and when the stimulus bill proves not to turn around the economy (as some notable economists like Krugman are warning).
The Repubs are clearly aiming toward the 2010 and 2012 elections.
it certainly will NOT help the economy.
330 Million dollars for the prevention of STD's is going to create what jobs?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vO0lqnyk20
I can see if you're poor that having kids left and right is bad for you finances, but I do see the point that better family planning wouldn't really add to jobs etc and I would have no problem with that being added to a health bill instead.
Now if they threw the street boyz in prison along with their enabling pet politicians and did something about the debt (federal, state, and worked with other countries as well), added some regulation to prevent the fraud, nationalized the fed and I'm sure I'm missing some things. That would actually help the economy.
sexually transmitted diseases will not give anyone a job, and will not encourage corporations to hire, or consumers to shop. "Oh, and, if you hire me, I have no syphillus...oh Wow You're Hired!"
It is a public health concern which could eventually affect worker productivity (depending on how stupid the population is any way). Like I said, I wouldn't mind such issues being left out of a "stimulus" package and instead part of a health package.
preventing STDs
you sound pretty stupid.
I don't understand you, Canuck.
330 million? Where is this number coming from? Because I'm sure it was just 200 million yesterday - and it was for contraception, not STD's.
If the Fed picks up a state bill, that helps the state. That's what a full third of this bill is. The states have huge deficits and won't be able to pay employees soon.
Yet they managed to get the dems to water down their already ineffectual package. Way to go dems.
I feel sadness for the many ignorant people who swallow "Morning Joe's" daily pile of steaming shit. Many commentors here are more politically knowledgable.
Like moi?
msm is under instructions from their masters to further the repug agenda. we knew that during the democratic primary process. we knew that during the election process. we knew that after the acceptance speech. and we're being reminded after the election that MSM IS A REPUG PROPAGANDA OPERATION.
after Halperin gave him the reach around to prove his conservative bonafides.
But all of them MSMers respect each other. That's why they keep paying one another to give each other a hand (figuratively speaking if you think they strike manly or womanly figures.)
Corporations own the media (can you spell GE?) and benefit from the bullshit that repugs stand for. Tax breaks for the richest and complete deregulation of all things business.
Projection; see Republican
mark halperin, for those that do not know, is a righwing shill posing as journalist. he is one of the main reasons why abc news is a pathetic joke.
there really is no need to deconstruct nor debate anything halperin whores out. he spews what he skews.
and, democrats out there, this is halperin's take on your views: "the democrats view that the united states would be better off if the war in iraq is lost"
there you have it, the ABC Political Director has declared that democrats are hoping for a US loss. ABC = shit.
it reads a lot like LGF.
what i struggled to say in 4 sentences you nail in one. perfect.
The whole point of electing Obama was so that he could fix the country in exactly the way the Republicans want...why oh why must the media do something bad that i cant think of off the top of my head...
friggin media...
I was playing poker online and i lost a $60 pot...you know who's fault that is? the media...
fortunately, i won it all back plus $20...which is what good old-fashioned 'going with your gut' will earn you...stupid media...i hate them so much...
and the slimeball members of the GOP will rue yesterday, but only if Obama wakes up and tells them "I tried to work with you but you chose to play your same old selfish games, so now you can eat my dust. I WON THE ELECTION AND I DON'T NEED YOU!"
What a partisan that Obama is. He has the nerve to belong to a party.
...so the repugnicants keep swatting it away. With every bill they boycott, they get farther and farther away from mainstream America and make themselves less and less relevant.
The relevance train is leaving the station.
Halperin you silly little man.
This is an object lesson in the same tired projection these lugnuts never tire of indulging themselves in.It is an exercise utterly void of serious thinking.It is the product of a party (pretending not to be)completely under the sway of a certain lard bottomed,jowl flapping radical right,degenerate radio yapper.
Why does the "Matt Drudge rules the world" link go to an article by Chris Cillizza, as if Halperin wrote it?
Sure, it mentions Halperin's book talking about how Drudge has influenced the political world, but it's not written by Halperin.
And even at that, the article isn't about how much Matt Drudge rules (as the link in the CL article implies), but rather how he's managed to exert himself into relevance in political circles, how's he managed to push his stories into the spotlight.
This isn't a defense of Matt Drudge, but god damn...this is some serious hackery. Small time hackery (not on the level as say...Halperin this morning on Morning Joe!), but hackery nonetheless.
Can this site start being more honest and get back some of its integrity? Please? I'll pay you to cut this crap out, it's silly and ridiculous.
trumps EVERYTHING now.
President Obama should be trying to outmaneouver the Republicans at every step. He should continually claim that he is striving for bi-partisan support as an effective bit of PR all the while trying to ram Democratic ideas down the GOP's throat.
One of the problems, of course, is the number of of conservative Democrats in this center right nation who are likely to vote with the Republicans.
to wipe with toilet paper and flush 'em all Bob. I don't just mean the US political leaders. I'm all for the same in my country. They have all grown fat, wealthy, corrupt and out of touch with the world. They now are celebs not taxpayer employees. What can anyone expect, when their entire lives have been politics? Yet they are all rich (or mostly). Now how is that possible on public wages? Corruption. Matters not what official colour they represent. The real colour is green. Time to flush, get the plumber in, and pump the septic bed out. Replace.
Why are you talking about Obama? What? We're talking about the misleading link between Mark Halperin's name in order to try to make him look more pathetic than he actually he is (which is extremely comedic, since Halperin does a good enough job on his own).
However, this was a needless partisan hack attack, however small, that is in line with a LARGE pattern seen on CL lately (some are worse than others, Nicole Belle being the worst offender of knee-jerking hackery around here lately, with all due respect). This is the first time I've seen Amato pull something off like this, and it's not anything major; the rest of the article is well crafted. But it is in line with a pattern of the general site.
But the writers aren't the only ones to blame: people like you just jump in throwing up more pre-written points that completely overlook what's being said.
Case in point: no one else seems to have bothered clinking on this link and seeing what I just saw. I see no one else talking about this.
I don't care how hacktastic other right-wing blogs are, I want intelligent and intellectually honest opinions from our side. And I'm not trashing the site as a whole, I love Cernig's posts and Susie Madrak has seemed to be a great addition, but there's no need for what was mentioned above.
So following this logic: Since there are Muslims living in the US we need to allow Sharia law to hold an equal place in our society as laws enacted by our state and federal governments.
if they don't accept it, you blow them off and play the game without the lousy bastards. It might be we have to wait until we replace another five or six of them in 2010.
I'm so sick of these corrupt bastards insisting on the rest of government to bend to their demands. It's time to move on.
I enjoyed Kerry's comment. If they don't want to cooperate and work with the administration, then it's time to do it alone. They can show this nation just WHO or which party are the partisan hacks. It's pretty obvious to me.
That's the stock opening line coming from every conservative's mouth, regardless of what the subject matter is. I can remember laughing out loud at Monica Crowley on McLaughlin Group one night, as she opened her every comment with, "This is bad for Obama because...".
They are still at war with the Democratic party, no matter what they accomplish. In five years, when Obama is in his second term, and the world is finally starting to recover from the damage inflicted by the Bush administration, they will still try to find a way to rationalize why an economic recovery is "bad for Obama".
apologetic intellectual head to Hugh Hewitt like Halperin did?
I know Hugh still spews all over you, and every indication indicates you still suck, Halperin.
Grover Norquist, a conservative (duh) and is an old College Republican buddy of Karl Rove says,”Bipartisanship is another name for date rape.”
Even if it's his baby.
Screw this "bipartisanship" bullshit. Bush and his Rethug cancer-snakes were killing this nation for the last 8 years. Finally, just to save what little can be salvaged, Americans voted their scurvy asses out of office.
Now the cancer-snakes are whining that it's unfair not to let them finish strangling, infecting and poisoning America.
Call me biased, but I just don't feel like cooperating with Republican spitting vampire-python-harpy maligno-leeches.
I think Halprin and Limbaugh must have attended the same seminar on how to abuse logic to tout republican propaganda.
Sorry to repeat myself BUT.
I say we the people need to serve notice on these partisan obstructionst Republicans and their corporate cable news networks as well as radio twats like Limbaugh,Hannity etc.
Maybe you didn't get the memo...the election is over...
we have chosen our leader...it AINT you...you LOST...its over...STOP!
We have listened to you Republicans and your so-called experts and journalists and look where that got OUR country and the world for that matter!
Trickle down??? Thats your great NEW idea???Bwah-Hah Ha! Good luck selling that piece of shit again!
We can't spend our way out of it?
If my muffler goes out on my work truck...I can't spend my way out of it?
If my roof on my house leaks...I can't spend my way out of it?
If my business runs low on inventory...I can't spend my way out of it?
These would ALL be a terrible waste of money that I could spend on pleasure instead of wasting it to reinvest.
See how stupid you sound to us?
If my country needs reinvestment and maintanence I would be a fool to think money is useless to help.
If I lose my job I lose my house.Period!
Being homeless and unemployed will be no problem for me to explain to my family because rich people will get a tax cut...so you see? All better!
We listened to you and your so-called experts and journalists...look where that got us.Ive grown sick of hearing OLD backward thinking failures saying no you can't.
Tell the truth.Its You who can't because you are greedy and corrupt and this is what drives you!This is why you tried so hard to make us believe tax cuts for the rich(aka yourselves)is going to put food on MY table,pay MY bills,get ME a job,get the country out of recession.News flash.
All that did was destroy the American dream for the middle class while you elevated yourselves to Lords, Rulers, judges and executioners of the world instead of being the servants we hired you to be for US.
We are YOUR bosses! Do not tell us it is not your job to create jobs.We say create jobs and you should say "How many,sir"? Instead of "thats not my job".
You can continue to pretend we can't stop you or change things but then you have been oh-so wrong lately I can't help but remind you YES WE CAN!
and AMEN!
Well said.
He's proved it time and again.
So, annoying a chunk of your supporters by making concessions on thing that matter to them, inviting the opposition over for drinks, and going to their turf when you have the power to make them come to you means you're a failure at bipartisanship, but announcing before the meeting that you will tell all your colleagues to vote no is being reasonable.
The press is just like Wall Street and the Republicans - they are so isolated in their gated, privilged world, they just don't get how the world has changed since October.
These assholes like Mark "Matt Drudge Rules the World" Halperin and Norquist and Limbaugh and Boner and Canter and Kyle (more on him later) and McConnell are trying to stay relevant. THEY ARE IRRELEVANT!!! Unless they have some valid and helpful points to make they will be tossed in to the ashcan of history. Look at where Gingrich and Delay and Haster are.
As far as Kyle is concerned he showed today where the Republicans are headed with their plans. He said that when the economy is not fixed in SIX MONTHS the Democrats are going to get blamed because the Republicans did not vote for this bill. EVERYBODY knows this economy will not be fixed for YEARS!!! Yet the Republicans are already only giving Obama and the Democrats only 6 months. Hahahahahahah Hopefully the American people are not that stupid.
In truth, six months from now nobody will even remember that the petulant little Republicans refused to vote for the stimulus package. The only way anybody will remember is if the economy gets worse, and they start saying "I told you so," which is their plan in the first place. In other words, they're both gambling and hoping that the economy gets worse for the sake of political gain. No surprise, there.
Could it Obama has seriously misjudged the unaffiliated voter with his stridently partisan porkus maximus stimulus package?
Support among unaffiliated voters has fallen. A week ago, unaffiliated were evenly divided on the plan, with 37% in favor and 36% opposed. Now, 50% of unaffiliated voters oppose the plan while only 27% favor it.
Overwhelmingly, voters see tax cuts as the legitimate way to "stimulate" the economy in recessionary times, not massive pork barrel spending by government bureaucrats.

Tax cuts especially for those already wealthy won't stimulate anything, I personally don't care what it does for repubs libido.
The "stimulus" package is definitely lacking, but the infrastructure spending part is a good first step. Now if only they would take the other steps necessary.
Also, isn't rasmussen a repub propaganda outlet?
Even if we took all those wealthy buggers out behind the barn and shot them all, then took all of their blood-stain money and dumped it into the coffers of Obama's porkus maximus stimulus plan, extra tax cuts for the lower classes would still be necessary in order to stimulate the economy. Of course, economic growth would be slow on account of all the shooting and all.

I call BULLSHIT.Define pork instead of puking out talking points! Pork barrel spending refers to a gift given to slaves in the form of a barrel of pig meat. Reinvestment in our own country hardly a case of slaves asking for free meat from our masters!
Tax cuts DO NOT HELP if you have no job fool!
Tax cuts create jobs?
Is that why Bush, the guy responsible for a huge tax cut created the most jobs ever?
Hey we are not dung beetles so sell your shit eleswhere.
...to be doled out to us by our new masters, if you think the main objective of Obama's porkus maximus stimulus plan is to create jobs.
Yes, of course, as any fool knows, tax cuts paid for by cuts in government spending creates jobs.
---
Yes, evidently at least ONE fool thinks so, anyway.
Tax cuts? Didn't we try that before in 2000 and 2003?
It didn't work then. It has never worked. It won't work.
You'd have a better argument saying that raising taxes would be effective (see 1991 and 1993).
By the way, look at Hoover's bailout of the banks compared to the TARP program, and FDR's New Deal compared to the stimulus bill.
Your libertarian idealism works great for the Cheney class. The rest of us are getting trickled on.
Riiiight...
Buddy up to the lunatics...
This is something that the Village just doesn't understand. People didn't vote for Barack Obama because they thought he would be able to get 80 votes on a fiscal stimulus package. They voted for him because they thought he would present the best stimulus package for America regardless of how many republicans would vote for it. America doesn't want a post-partisan president, it wants a post-political president. One who is doesn't play games, but instead gets down to business and gets things done correctly.
...even Obama has admitted this isn't a perfect plan, and that even with the adoption of his imperfect plan, high unemployment numbers may still be expected for some time to come.
The only true "post-political" (whatever that means) action taken on this bill was a vote against it.
ex animo
davidfarrar
If you don't know what it means, where'd you get the balls to tell us in the same sentence what it DOES mean?
...action taken up on Obama's pork barrel payback scheme, was action taken up in opposition to his plan.
"Post-political" means a dictatorship, or didn't you know? Or perhaps an imperial president.

If you knew what it meant, you made it pretty clear you did not (Quoth you: "The only true "post-political" (whatever that means)..."). See where I might have come to the conclusion that you didn't know? Did you find it in Google after you posted?
I did not ask you what it was; I asked "How can you admit to not knowing what post-political is, then tell us what it is?"
So I guess when you said "Whatever that means" you were lying?
...allow me to suggest that I didn't actually know what "post-political" meant, if it means anything at all, but I would take a stab at it. I suspect the phrase, "Whatever that means" was simply meant as a qualifier. You know, kind of like a-hole and asshole.

I was quoting, not parsing.
1 a: to resolve (as a sentence) into component parts of speech and describe them grammatically b: to describe grammatically by stating the part of speech and explaining the inflection and syntactical relationships2: to examine in a minute way : analyze critically intransitive verb1: to give a grammatical description of a word or a group of words2: to admit of being parsed
and all I did was paste them and ask how could you give a meaning to something you said you did not know the meaning of? That hardly qualifies as an examination of minutia.
Use a dictionary. It's very easy.
I think you actually meant post-partisanship.

You aren't real good with reading for comprehension, are you, Dave?
Uh, like I've said from the first post, I copied and pasted a quote -- something YOU wrote. I didn't mean anything other than to point out that you said you didn't know what a phrase meant, then you dictated its meaning. And as this is the identical explanation I've given you several times on this thread, I don't expect you to have any kind of intellect that is capable of recognising this fact.
Now what?

Overrule a president, who is the commander in chief?
It's beyond my pay grade. But I would assume it has something to do with the separation of powers between the judiciary and the executive branches of government.
Obama has not issued an order as the Commander in Chief, but has simply signed an "Executive" order as President, as head of the executive branch of government.
I can't exactly remember the Executive Order's exact wording, but it does mention something consistent with the safety of the United States, et cetera. This, again, is another attempt to placate the masses without actually challenging the status quo.

welcome to C&L. Warning though. On some posts common sense goes out the door for partisanship, so get ready to employ defence shields.

Your argument is somewhat thin considering that the suspects (not "killers" under law) have not been charged. They may, in fact be illegally detained, but not by law enforcement. The military officers responsible may be required to be court martialed under the UCMJ, but this has not been a law enforcement operation.
Besides, that's not what the colonel was saying. He clearly said that he was concerned about the public's interest, not the defendant's rights.
He considers the Thugs waaaaaaay too much, and needs to back off of he obvious courting of their worthless lame ideas, since those are the same ideas that sent this country, its wealth, power and cred an into the crapper
"You can say to your own party, 'Sorry, some of you liberals aren't going to like it..." Hah! or you can say to the party in opposition, the ones who were decisively thumped in November "I won. And some of you Thugs won't like it, but hey! so what?"
is implementing all the pork in this Stimulating Bill? Now upon reaching Senate, there will be millions for STD's, millions to help people stop smoking, etc, etc, etc. How did an emergency economic bill get so fracked up? Is this the only piece of legislation that will get passed this year, so everybody is piling on the extras? By the time they are done it is going to be way more than 900 billion.
"Hey Bob, don't forget to add in there, the extra cost of donuts for the Homeland Security Department."
You aren't very quick with the math, ya hoser. It would take a lot of 200 million dollar programs to push this bill to 900 billion.
Maybe if they want to drop the bottom line a little bit they can drop some of the 300 billion dollars in tax cuts that won't have any effect in the next year.
Oh, that's right, that was supposed to encourage the Republicans to climb on board. Hmmm, imagine that, the Republicans obstructing legislation in an attempt to break the government. It's not like they have said that's their intention or anything...
"Enough!", that's what Obama said...I loved it. Enough, is enough. Halperin wants to THREATEN and BULLY! Halperin wants to: Pull a John Boner! Well, we must stand in defense that Obama extended the hand, poured the wine at the bar and they still tried to bite. ENOUGH! This country is in a mess BECAUSE OF ALL THE BONER-PEOPLE! Enough. The strategy for Obama is working. Flush out the "bimbos" who take and abuse America! ENOUGH OF THE WHINING CONSERVATIVES. There is only "partisan" thinking going on here. ENOUGH! Nixon sold us out. Reagan served us up...Bush threw-up on us.....And the country is hurting because of it. Well....Were Back!
If you read it, Obamas plan IS WORKING...ALREADY!
J.Cosmo
and I think the Republicans will suffer cuts and bruises that may become mortal wounds.
People will remember that they PUT PARTISAN POLITICS ahead of economic woes of the country. THEY SHOULD ALL ROT IN HELL.
never get tired of making fools of themselves.
This halprin another in a long line of corporate prostitutes, on the airways and print media daily.
When the rest of the people stop buying their papers and watching the idiot box maybe we can get America back!
I guess there are STILL some people in this nation who actually believe the garbage morons like Halperin spew.
Here's an idea.....if these GOP idiots really believe everything they're saying...FUCK 'EM!
ALL OF THEM.
Halparin was continuously wrong during the presidential campaign, because he is a reichwing hack, and he continues to be wrong because he is a reichwing hack. They guy belongs on FAUX Noise.
Who are the Rethuglicans kidding? Their version of bi-partsanship and compromise is "Do it my way and I won't be an obstructionist, and I'll allow the legislation to pass." They're devoid of ideas and might as well file for political bankruptcy. It's pretty sad when they have to depend on Rush Limpballs to feed them their talking points. A party of irrelevant hypocrites who have lost touch with reality. Their solutions belong in the trash heap of history which is where their party is also heading.
has been off the talking heads shows -except for radrightwingnut- since he was soo disasterously WRONG during the primaries...He is a non starter
