Good news for MSNBC: a non-leftist is watching their programs: Bad news...only watch to laugh at the pathetic incessant leftist spin...Domenico, you were the only sane voice today, realtively speaking, anyway...

Bob, you have to excuse MO. Like most liberals he drinks from the same fountain of ignorance. The liberals have learned that to get their point across all they have to do is lie, and then keep reinforcing it. Same propaganda technique use by Joseph Goebbels. He also believed that if you do it long enough the people will come to believe it even though it is a lie. They make it work by reinforcing it with the government and everything then looks fine. Unfortunately, a lie is still a lie and sooner or later it catches up to them, but by then the damage is done.

      We all know you watch MSNBC to get real news Bob. So we'll let you get way with saying it's just for laughs. We all know you get your laughs over at Fox and form lying Limbaugh.

      Last night, this "leftist" watched 30 Rock, just so I could see Brian Williams' piece about the Obama campaign.

      I wish there were a way to edit out Brian Williams, and just listen and watch the President. (Actually, I've discovered, there is, it's called the Obama Diary http://theobamadiary.com/ )

      I'm not sure how best to describe Brian William's attitude: jaded, cynical, lazy, sardonic, contempuous, or just weary? The impression I got from the 30 Rock piece, was that, perhaps, the journalists are just sick and tired of the whole campaign thing. Well, I think we all feel that way.

      But, I must say, if there is a big loser this election season, I think it is the mainstream media. Whatever they gained in ad dollars, they lost in their reputation as newsmen. (Maybe they don't care, after all, it is a for-profit industry.) I mean, how is it Donald Trump got more airtime than General Colin Powell? How is it Congress passed the Affordable Health Care and many Americans don't know it reduces the federal debt, it doesn't add to it? Never mind, maybe I am the weary one.

      Amy, what is wrong, didnt "bowing" Brian Williams bow enough? As a softball coach, I can verify all his questions to Obama were, as usual, slow pitch softballs.

      "How is it Congress passed the Affordable Health Care and many Americans don't know it reduces the federal debt, it doesn't add to it?"

      Um, Amy, because it isnt true. It is beyond absurd to buy that Obama whopper. The national debt under Obama is skyrocketing, and God help us if ObamaCare isnt repealed.

      The national debt has skyrocketed, thanks to the conditions left by George W. Bush. It's a long slog to recover from a decade or Republican policies, but we've made considerable progress (considering we almost slid into another Great Depression in 2008.)

      The Affordable Care contains measures to control healthcare costs. We are the only developed country not to have universal healthcare. Getting everybody covered will free wage-slaves like me to start new businesses, because we won't be shackled to a desk to keep our health insurance. American will be free-er to innovate.

      Amy didn't you get the memo from the republicans? The U.S. didn't have any debt till after President Obama was sworn in in 2009. The 16T debt has accumulated since 2009 under President Obama. Presidents Reagan, Bush I, Bush II all had balanced budgets and surpluses. So if you believe in the republican fantasy world the entire debt/deficit is a result of President Obama. Infact if you listen to the republicans, there hasn't even been any republicans in congress since 2009, it's all the Democrats fault.

      So they say Mr. Powell voted because of race? Which race did he vote for? Shallow people.

        Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock refused to apologize Wednesday for saying that rape resulting in pregnancy is "something God intended.”State Republicans and a few congressional leaders defended Mourdock.

        "I spoke from my heart. And speaking from my heart,speaking from the deepest level of my faith, I would not apologize. I would be less than faithful if I said anything other than life is precious, I believe it's a gift from God," Mourdock said at a news conference Wednesday.

        Is Richard Mourdock married? Does he have any daughters? I guess it is a gift from god that men can’t get pregnant! Because they get rape too! If they could, Trust me he wouldn’t be saying this... It so easy to make demands on others without, any consequences or changes on their life. The God I know would consider a rape the devil’s work! (So I guess they believe women who try to get pregnant and are not able to this is god doing too!) Anyone who supports a party who believes a baby that is force upon you is a gift from god. I don’t and can’t comprehend ...

        I believe God is good, and I also believe most people are good religious or not! But most people understand one thing rape is evil and wrong. So don’t say it is a PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD!!!!! He would never, never allow this to happen if he had any control...! Any Babies conceive under a violent act is no way God’s doing... There are all kinds of rape and no matter domestic or not rape is rape! I feel sad for them and I believe they need to do more soul searching!

        Mitt Romney's campaign quickly said he disagrees with Mourdock, but refuses to cancel a television ad in which Romney endorses him. (So does that mean he secretly believes this as he has always support this
        until recently) The Tea Party is using Puppet Romney! Romney is saying whatever you want to hear to be elected! Guess what if Romney gets elected we will all suffer again. He will be another Puppet as George W Bush was.) At least New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte canceled an event scheduled for Wednesday with Mourdock. But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Texas Sen. John Cornyn issued statements of support.

        Oh yea McCain support Mourdock and Akin’s too...

        Murdock’s rape comment seemed to fall a few steps short of Republican U.S. Rep. Todd Akin's comment earlier this summer that a woman's body would block against pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape," Hello! National Republican and conservative groups, including Crossroads GPS, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Club for Growth continued their support.

        Romney, Mourdock, Akin, McConnell, Cornyn, and..... will soon be supporting a visitation bill for the rapist! I guess they believe a rapists has rights includes visitation rights. They can share the precious gift from God! I mean as they claim “it’s a gift from God. I guess they say and want you to believe good comes from evil......NO... It does not.....They don’t want Women to have a choice!.. Forcing this on any women is not God will... It is a personal decision between the women and her God and or her family! It is not a gift from God... Wake up People........We as women have rights too not just men!.........................................
