   I was sorry no one carried Ted Cruz last night. We worked so hard to get him elected The odds were against him as he went up against establishment and lots of money with Dewhurst. I kept getting emails all day yesterday about when he would speak and then—-darn—-they cut away. Here it is if you want to listen.

   Nah! Only when you go after (cuss) female posters. I haven't seen you do that. I gave up on trying to keep ALL civil.

   How did CNN have two shows at once at 9pm? 9 & 9:30? That caused me to lose a prediction. I’m going out of the predicting business. My track record (except the ratings game when I destroyed AppleStinx ) stinks.

   @d.d.: “It baffles me that we’re taught that Democrats are the civil rights champions.”

   Sorry, but this is some Stan T.-level BSing on your part. To compare the modern party platforms to the things Lincoln, Jackson, Jefferson, etc. did is ludicrous. The Republican party of today is not the Republican party of 1950, which was not the Republican Party of 1929, which was not the Republican Party of 1890, and so on and so on. Feel free to look at some of the rhetoric that Reconstruction Era Democrats used to get elected, and to justify the dismantling of the Freedman’s Bureau (which would have helped to give the freed slaves the economic freedom they desperately needed to truly escape their former masters).

   There was a heavy emphasis on ‘states rights,’ and representing the freed slaves as lazy hucksters looking for a redistributed handout. Sound familiar? Please don’t pretend that the Southern Strategy doesn’t exist, and that dog whistles aren’t a part of Republican electoral strategy, you’re too smart for that.

   Suikostinger—-that was MSNBC that claimed —-Mia Love: MNSBC was in commercial; Fox aired Shepard Smith‘s coverage of Hurricane Isaac from New Orleans.
   Like so much of what MSNBC does they have to correct and did. Keep bahing the right you are good at it.

   Here’s where I would say “better late than never” but your predictions are a source of amusement. How did you lose a prediction?

   @Matthew

   I have to agree Matthew. The Republicans before the Civil Right Act and post Civil Rights act are 2 completely different parties. You go back and look at some famous Republican Presidents and stuff they fought for was very different then what the Republicans fight for now. Teddy Roosevelt for instance was rather pro union, workers rights and against corruption from big business and banks

   Republicans also seemed to be more about being fiscally responsible pre-1966 compared to the big spending Republicans they are now(starting around Reagan)

    I love it when Ed Schultz lapses into coma.

    Here he is introducing former Obama propagandist Robert Gibbs on his radio show in a way that seemed to catch Gibbs off guard, but understandably so when you hear what Schultz said

    SCHULTZ: Robert, good to have you back with us.

    GIBBS: Ed, sir, how are you?

    SCHULTZ: Well, I’m still working for a living in the Obama economy. That’s a good thing.
