Old Tingles Mathews with RNC chairmen I found him very offensive:he was worse than ever!Cant stand the dope!How offensive was he?Disgusting!The man was wearing a checkered shirt with a striped tie!
@tony
Chris Matthews is only desperately looking after his own survival. Can you imagine his life without thrills moving up his legs? He’ll have to resort to fantasizing to posters of Cher and Ellen Barkin, or playing with ferrets.
If you don’t think Illegal Aliens are getting welfare? Think again.. The Food Stamp President: They even go out recruiting.. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Outreach-boosting-food-stamp-rolls-3805283.php Don’t get angry when you click the photos, everyone has smartphones on welfare.
Tony,
I watched Matthew’s and he crushed that awful, whiny, girly repub. to shreds. All the repub. did was give his memorized repub. talking points and Chris made mincemeat out of him. See….You viewed the conversation one way, and I viewed it the other way. That repub. could not defend his comments, pure and simple. I did not find Chris M. offensive and no, he is not a ‘dope’, Now your guy, well I have ideas about him and find your word choice more conducive to his sorry performance. “The man was wearing a checkered shirt with a striped tie!” What the heck does that have to do with the price of tea….er, coffee. Repubs can dish it, but crumble and can’t take being called upon to defend their comments. Speaking of Coffee, how are you Steve? Later….
@1nancy2–lighten up will you,have some fun I know you must have a sense of humor?Mathews wardrobe was just for fun.Mathews is a Dem hack–look at his ratings,terrible–he tries to talk over people and not allow them to respond–I’ve watched him for years ,hes not the brightest man.The birth certificate joke is a non issue–Romney doesnt disagree on BHO birthplace.Defending Obama at every step in the face of over 40 months 8+unemployment,5 trillion in debt by his savior(Obama)loss of AAAbond rating–increasing food stamps by 1 and a 1/2 times.Mathews would be screaming if McCain were Pres.
I want to start a Pool…How long will it take 1Nancy2 above to make an appearance back on this Site after she absorbs Obama coming-up short >80 Electoral Votes on the morning of November 5th???
If she merely engages in suicide, all bets are off and monies will be refunded…
Tony,
Sure…Bill O’Reilly interrupts constantly…”talks over people and does not allow them to respond”….I bet you don’t notice that, right tony? Interesting that you have’ watched Chris M. for years”….Then you note..”He’s not the brightest man.” OK, so what does that make you for watching him? Here you decree that he is not bright, but, golly gee……….you still watch his show. As far as that birth certificate? It is an issue and will be as long as repubs. try to broach that subject. As I said, “Repubs. can dish it, but crumble and can’t take being called upon to defend their comments.” Lighten up? I don’t find snickering at a person’s wardrobe called for, so say something interesting and I’ll compliment you, just the way I do with Coffee, James, Matthew, Boss, Jeff, Faith 3, Ratboy and others.
O’Reilly interrupts but is not as shrill as Tingles–

Chris Matthews is a pompous idiot who like Obama doesn’t have an original thought in his head. He babbles on and on about nonsense throws in the race card as if he has been appointed as a civil rights activist for all those who were wronged by people who are prejudiced fifty years ago. Get over it.It’s people like him spouting his racial hatred that has turned the white vote away from Obama…Those who would make the color of their skin a problem are racist.
Why is any one watching Chris Matthews. I deleated MSNBC off my TV. Now it’s like they don’t even exist, and they don’t…
about this voter i.d. law…….it’s estimated there are 12 to 15 million illegals in the U S…………do you think none of them will vote or try to vote? i think we know who they would vote for……pick your own number…..thank you dennis
This Dude Dennis is such a morron..How do you Vote when you are not a voting roll. Independents and college guyz don’t care about convention coverage, Fox News Sucks and only caters to extreme right and thats no secrete. So Fox news rating during republican convetion does not help Romney
@jj
your a moron yourself.
