FauxNews "Beltway Whores" on stimulus bill: Repugs are big winners. Reid and Pelosi big losers.
Fred Barnes and Mort Kondrake...

Their "rationale" -- Repugs are more unified as the loyal opposition now and Reid and Pelosi look inept.

:rofl:

1. Well they have the first part right.
The American hating Republic Party is unified in obstruction and in hoping for calamity.

2. The Grumpy Old Pukes...
Unified as bottom-feeding, obstructionist, doom-and-gloom, do-nothings.

7. Thanks for that. Very encouraging.

Mort tried to inject a bit of sanity by referencing the Gallup numbers that show Obama with overwhelmingly positive approval regarding economic leadership, and the Dems spanking the Repugs. Fred called it an outlier.

8. They are truly in an echo-chamber of denial. If all you listen to is Faux News and
RW talk radio then I guess you would believe that their 30% is the majority.

5. The need to change the name of the show
A more appropriate name would be "I have belted a few to many, boys".

16. What the fuck ever...
Fucked News is a disgrace to this country, absolutely fuckin' pathetic. Repukes are more unified?? So, what exactly would it be since the bill passed with flying colors??? Fucked News is delusional, the Dems passed the bill, not the repuke obstructionist...but, talking to fucked news is like talking to a wall.

19. Unified? If the gauge is unity, what about the fact that
the Democratic Senators were unified in their support? They also are on the winning side, both in terms of the election and the bill.

Barnes is an idiot.

20. Did you catch at the end when Barnes said BUSH is much more like Lincoln than Obama???
He said Obama's from IL like Lincoln, but Bush stuck with his generals who told him to do an unpopular thing during a time of war (or something like that). :eyes:

The posts above are from DailyKos/Research 2000 poll numbers, usually seems skewed left, but reflects the same trend other pollsters show, e.g.

23. This is the same thing the MSM uses as an excuse "The Republicans are on message"
No matter how insane and inane what you say is as long as you are "on message" the DC press reports it as if it is the truth that must be disproved.
