"Parrot" is right. I can't tell if it's his nasally voice or his tendency to deliver his BS in over-dramatic near-whisper, but he comes off as an extremely condescending and phony tool. His stance that Democrats promised things to the American people and didn't deliver was predicted near the beginning of Obama's term to be the main Republican talking point in 2012 as the Repugs joined in unanimity and became the "party of no". Unfortunately, Obama and the Democrats either ignored their mandate and capitulated on everything, or showed their true colors as the sellout blueblood corporatists they really are.

Either way, this guy is nothing but a Republican prag.

Here's the Highway Bill Christie is referring to.

It was the bill that contained the famed "bridge to nowhere," signed into law in 2005 by Bush. If congress had re-authorized it in 2009, it would have appeared to have been an endorsement of the "pork-barrel spending" that was such a hot-button issue in the 2008 election.

It's hardly something that Obama personally can be held responsible for, and it was probably a good thing that it expired. One can only hope that the 2012 replacement bill that is currently on the table will not suck as bad.

Why cant people say, "I know this is wrong, but I'm doing it anyway". It's practically my mantra to get through the day committing sins of omission. The scary people wont even admit they know its wrong, and they're just doing what they do BECAUSE. No reason. One person, one decision. ...

"Some person is responsible. Always. If H-bombs exist - and they do - some person controls them. In terms of morals there is no such thing as 'state'. Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts." --- Robert Heinlein

and just once i'd like someone to note that the boston tea party was a protest that was much more directed at the monopolies held by the East India Trading Company than it was against the British Government. or at least acknowledge that the tea partier's were upset by the collusion between the two. ie: the same shit that is happening now.

I remember when I was watching this the first time I had a strong urge to punch this guy in the nuts.



I fail to see how making his voice even more highly pitched is going to be an improvement. Unless you're talking dog whistle high, in which case, carry on.

Same here. "This guy" being all of them except RC. I'll give Corny West some credit, he admits to being a socialist. The rest are limo liberal frauds.
