Mary Matalin Said What?

We all are used to the propaganda ruse of “fear.” I think we saw a lot of that during the last eight years. Here is a list of propaganda techniques, have the Goobers missed any of them during their onslaught against HCR?

I think they covered most of them!

Botox and 79 facelifts have a way of interfering with rational thought.

Does anyone know if Sen Coburn has said anything about using God’s name in vain?

Again – the Senate bill is NOT the end, but the beginning. Conference Committee is where the action will be, where we will get BACK the public option. A small article this morning said Obama is pushing to make the final bill in sync with the House, not the Senate.

The public nosedive in support came when the public option was left OUT, not when it was in. Support for the House version was at over 67%. Senate followed suit til the public option died. So the Reeps can say what they want, but the American public dislikes the Senate version and ONLY because it was weakened so much.

Give the people what we want. A public option that gives us really affordable health care coverage for EVERYONE. Then the polls will reflect reality, not Matlin’s weird take on, well, everything.

I used to admire the GOP for their careful and clever manipulation of language to make persuasive arguments, but they seem to have completely lost that talent as their party devolves into the fringe and the fringe’s fringe. Trying to imply that the struggle for health care reform is terrorism — which is what she’s doing by using islamic language — is just plain silly (not to mention insulting to muslims). And that’s how Matalin sounds. And by extension, her party sounds pretty silly, too.

I find it too depressing.I truly feel like I lost some of my enthusiasm and intelligence over there, I’m still recuperating from the damage.
And I really don’t care if they adjust their attitude, they just need to tell the truth that they are a right wing web site and just as propaganda filled as the Murdoch empire.

She is beyond comprehension. That they continue to air her uninformed and bizarre views boggles the mind.

Obama has been very strategic about health care. After all comes out of Conference Committee (Senate members are the progressives save for Baucus whose knowledge of finance is actually GOOD and who seems to be cowed by his girlfriend scandal) – Reid, Dodd, Harkin, Rockefeller. Can’t do better. Don’t know the House yet – Conyers looks sure.

Once it’s back to the Senate, THAT is when I believe Reid and Obama will lean on recalcitrant Dems to get the cloture vote and votes for the bill. I believe, since I read this this morning, that Obama is pressing for the HOUSE bill to prevail – with public option.

We are not used to a thoughtful, adult, reflective, calm, drama-free president. So we think he is not doing anything, when, in fact, he’s doing a LOT. He is the most strategic thinker I’ve seen in my lifetime, and if this does prevail as we hope, it will make manifest his calm deliberation about both product and process.

We all just have to get used to it – it’s quite a change from The Decider, isn’t it?

Thank GOD (or whoever, or no one…)

It seems that CNN is doing “Fox lite” in order to try and bring their ratings up. I quit CNN during Lou Dobbs phase out, I have a hard time with most news shows these days.
Seems like everyone is trying to prove they’re not the liberal media or “in love” with the President.
Rarely can get a positive word about this administration, which makes me feel the need to support him whole heartedly.

How Carvelle puts up with her is beyond me, maybe it is a marketing tool they have created to make money? That is the only thing I can think of, either that, or love is truly blind.
