I listen to her, that's why I posted the video.. she's a very smart, progressive and professional women. I like her style.
What and take your job!! BTW, does your new kneepads have a pocket for breath fresheners?
Strange that people make sense when they just repeat what you already believe in.......8O

She put up a bit of an argument. You haven't. The Democrats only won by default which she is arguing against. She says that the Republicans need to get back on their feet and offer a reasonable alternative - which they didnt really do this time around. Without a reasonable alternative the Democrats can not only stay in office but basically do whatever they want. That applies not only to the US but every democracy. You need at least two credible options to chose between and to have a reasonable debate. Obama should have lost, but the Republicans didnt come off as being any better than Obama. In fact the strong social conservatism in the Republican party made them seem far worse.
The same is true up here. A big part of Harper winning the election here in 2011 was that there was no credible alternative.
And the only way that will happen is if congress approves it which would require Republican votes, so its not happening.
Liberals do the same thing. Unless the "conservative" is "moderate", they won't listen, because any true conservative is racist, misogynist, or "cramming religion down our throats".
Love how you suppress the truth here.
Maddow said "nobody's taking anyone's guns away...", after Obama called for an assault weapons ban.
Maddow is a liar. Why don't you try to put some "liberal spin" on this and prove us wrong.
You for everyone and their dog having the ability to walk in and buy assault guns? And I am not doing Liberal spin.
She's partially wrong on a single point. There's no plan to take guns away generally, she's right about that, but the administration does want a ban on assault weapons, so those might get taken away from the relatively few people who have them. And for that you dismiss her as a liar. Considering what else you said in that post, do you not see the irony in that?
Yes. I can go buy an assault weapon tonight if I wanted to, unless it was a handgun. Handguns have a ridiculous 4 week waiting period after purchase.
Of course. If she says "nobody's taking anyone's guns away" and some folks no matter the limited number DO end up losing their assault weapons, this would make her a wrong, no? I think she's smart enough to know exactly what an assault weapon ban could at least curtail. That would make not only wrong but a liar in my books.
Hunting dangerous and delicious animals and keeping the King of England out of your face of course!
