Yea there are less neo-cons here than usual….seems there having a hard time rationalizing away Msnbc’s ratings win in the key demo. Congrats to Rachael and the rest of the network.
@ Sicilian papa,
“Fair enough. Do you work in the movie industry?”
Yes, I worked with Miramax and WB before. Now I’m teaching filming, acting courses and working on my independent production company.
Now that MSNBC is getting better ratings (for awhile) all those arguments the lefties made about Fox’s ratings not making a difference(eg 3 million is less than 1 percent of population, sponge bob gets better ratings etc) are not relevant now. You lefties are hilarious. Please promise us that those of you on the fringe and you know who you are, will leave the site when Romney wins. Thanks.
BTW, the demo is important to advertisers. Don’t think the demo is important when determining who is more likely to vote.
Boss, you say you have a high IQ and are well informed. I see no evidence of the former and you will have to get out of your community college academic bubble and the land of leftie blogs to be “well informed”. Talk to someone in a county social services office about the quality of people that are on the government dole and the fraud that is being perpetrated on the taxpayers. Not talking about people on SS, or veterans or those legitimately needing help.
Jeffie the internet coward, I send this post from my house. Unlike you I have never been kicked off the site. Tell Wink hello don’t forget to change the oil in your Pinto, oh I mean Bentley. Someday I hope we meet and you can show me how tough you are when you are not hiding behind the anonymity of the internet.
Greetings
*EX-GITMO DETAINEE ‘INVOLVED IN LIBYA ATTACK’
That cannot be true, we were told it was a video

Way 2 go msnbc!
Mitt’s gaffe and the right wing spin is costing Fox News their viewers.
Rachel Maddow & Lawrence ODonnell doing very well
*****************************
And O’Reilly is over 3 million viewers…3.3 million to rachel’s 2 million…half of rachel’s viewers were probably fact checkers looking to see if she was going to admit the administration lied about Lybia…lied about Egypt…see if she would admit the Romney tape was edited…or to see if she even mentioned Obama’s “I’m for redistributionist” tape….
@ Stan T,
“Besides the fact he talks just like a liberal? With Huntsman it would have been Obama or Obamalite.”
hahaha, Obamalite that’s a good one. Well with Willard ( at least at this point ) it’s either Obama or mmmm… Obama .
Iran ships arms, personnel to Syria — via Iraq…
Israel stages largest snap exercise in years…
Obama, Under Pressure, Gives Up iPad for Live Intel Briefings…
Gave Entertainment Mag Interview on Peak Day of Protests…
Administration misled public on two Libya embassy heroes…
Ex-Navy Seals weren’t part of ambassador’s security team…
I go away for the evening and the headlines scream, I better stay home so the world doesn’t explode

I have a number of screenplays written and I am writing a screenplay for a novelist. I am freelancing with an online site to help pay the bills. I’m a hack but I have a good imagination.
@Sam
your in the movie business?
I’m available for the next Star Wars Series
What is going on?
MSNBC actually beat Fox News in the Primetime Demo. I know they must be happy. And what about Rachel? She’s on fire!!! She beat Oreilly in the Demo…give her a raise.
@rhembo
Yea there are less neo-cons here than usual
Nah…My wife is just cuter than most here so I took her out tonight
@
Sam
I have screenplay called “Pleasure Field” that I think you would like. I have some interest in the project. I am not trying to solicit your help just making conversation.

Mother Jones, the left-wing magazine that released a controversial video of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s remarks to a fundraiser in May, now admits that it has no full tape of what Romney said, and that its video is missing “one to two minutes” at the most important moment.
Lies do work do they not
*******************************
It’s even worse than that, Doug…it’s now been proved that there was no technical error…that the tape was purposely edited…And that’s not spin, that’s absolute fact…Whereas Obama admitted he said what was on his tape..and did not deny that’s exactly what he meant.
@mark2
give her a raise.
I’d give here controling interest in Comcast, shes earned it
^HER controling interest

Mitt romney is finished its over fox people ..i thought mccain was incompetant back in 2008 man was i wrong collosal nite for msnbc
*********************************
Are you kidding? Even with the MSM attacking him 24/7, and polls lopsided by anywhere from 8-10 points, and Romney is still within a couple of points…Obama is in serious trouble and he knows it…because even a moron knows that the undecided are only undecided on whether they will vote for the Challenger or stay home. And then we have to remember the curtain voters…those who say they are voting for Obama, because they don’t want to be called racist or worse…then, behind the voting curtain, will vote for Romney…
@ Coffee Steve ,
“your in the movie business? I’m available for the next Star Wars Series”
Haha, Christian Bale isn’t gonna do Batman anymore. Any interest to get behind the mask ? XD

If Obama wins I want Pelosi and Reid. We may as well go down the toilet with one big flush.
The left and the corrupt vermin in the lib. media may get Obama another four years. That still won’t make him a success.
16.3 trillion in debt on election day. 10.6 when he took office.
*******************************************
And not only that…on Letterman, Obama admitted he didn’t know what the debt was when he took office, or even now…and that he doesn’t consider it a short term problem, so he figures he can add Trillions more with no problem…and this is our president?
