What I learned on the Sunday Talk Shows

Once upon a time I subscribed to Pundit Pap, a weekly, online analysis of the Sunday Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads. This is my version.

This is gop plan if they regain control of Congress in the midterm elections;

1. Repeal the health care reform bill.

2. Repeal the stimulus bill.

3. Maintain Bush's tax cut for the rich so they can/will hire people.

Translation;
The rich have access to health care, get richer, and the rest get the shaft.

Been there done that. It's all class warfare all the time.

It's not class warfare. Don't you dare call it class warfare. The Republicans may relentlessly pursue policies that favor the wealthy and hurt everyone else, but it most emphatically is not class warfare. The arbiters of appropriate political discourse will be most put out if you call it class warfare. You will not be welcome in the Village. You will not be invited to appear on the Sunday talk shows.

The gop solution for America is to Privatize It

The teabaggers and right wing party want to privatize the whole government! That is exactly what all this hollering about less government is really about. It is not just about cutting taxes for the rich, it's about making the pot sweeter for the future CEO's of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION nicknamed Uncle Sam. This is what their future plans for America are if they get back in power.

Call it a conspiracy theory and go back to sleep.

Once upon a time, if The Birmingham News got out of line, the Birmingham Post-Herald was there to offer a contrary perspective. Likewise with The Huntsville News, and the historically Democratic Decatur Daily used to circulate more widely in Huntsville. (Things were less helpful in Mobile, where the Mobile Press and Mobile Register were co-owned by Newhouse even before their 1997 consolidation.) Even in the absence of alternate news sources from the Internet, these correctives kept a significant number of voters aware of alternate perspectives and narratives. But we now live in the age of the one-newspaper town.

The gop is pro life as long as it's in the womb. After that all bets are off and baby you are on your own.

On Fox News Sunday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) called for a nationwide moratorium on foreclosures, saying “it’s absolutely imperative that we keep people in their homes.” House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) disagreed strongly, however, saying he was “just perplexed” at Wasserman Schultz’s answer, and that “people have to take responsibility for themselves.”
