"Republicanistical party" lol

[vanlassie]

1. Issa is an Asshat.

[jgraz]

2. For those who don't want to listen to that fuckstick, Matthews nails him at around 1:20

[ginnyinWI]

3. I really enjoyed this debate.

The repub had nothing; Barney Frank had him coming and going--he was brilliant. It's worth watching the whole thing!

This is why Tweety's show is good: you get to see real debates. Keith and Rachael don't do this--they just do interviews one-on-one.

18. "Barney Frank had him coming and going--he was brilliant"...

....right down to calling him a member of the "Republicanistical" party! Wonderful..

[Sinistrous]

4. Only Republans say "Democrat Party"

[burning rain]

5. Issa said "Democrat congress," in point of fact.

And yes, he's genuinely dim.

6. The guy really is a weasel.

Or should that be ISSA weasel?

[mackerel]

8. LMAO!

[L. Coyote]

7. "Mickey Mouse" has never been so insulted!

9. WHO IS HE TALKING ABOUT!?!?!?!?

By "Americans who loved the tax cuts", who is he speaking of? The Americans in the upper percentile that make up a very small minority of this country? Also, why do they persist on pretending FDR's New Deal never happened? It's true WW2 helped but FDR provided 3.3 million jobs by 1938 and, aside from a spike in 1938, from 1933 to 1940 unemployment was on its way down. All this before 1941, the year we actually entered WW2.

10. I would like to point out that the top tax rate during WWII was 94%.

[Liberal_Christian]

14. Thanks! I never knew.

You're right. It's kind of funny when you think about it; the period of time right-wingers give credit to ending the depression was the only time he actually raised taxes that high.

11. Thank you Chris

For finally calling these Repukes out on that bullshit. I get so sick of hearing the "Democrat party" night after night, and it is past time someone called them to the carpet for it. It is totally disrespectful.

[KansDem]

12. Issa looks a lot like Ray Bolger...

The only difference is: Bolger's character finally gets a brain...

[Turborama]

13. LOL, or even this guy...

[mwb970]

15. Issa is such a jerk.

And almost as weasely looking as Head Weasel Cantor. He must be on his way up, up, up the ziggurat!

[jenmito]

16. But he ruined it by "taking it back" at the end telling Issa he CAN call it the "Democrat Party"

under normal circumstances (paraphrasing). Why did he have to do that? I was so happy when he called out Issa in the beginning but he ruined it at the end. (He has also corrected Ron Christie a while ago who apologized to him, so I don't know why THIS time he had to ruin it by saying it's ok.)

17. And then Matthews implied he'd have to turn to Barney Frank...

...to have a conversation in plain English.

:rofl:
