In other words "they are earning their pay"...

Chris Matthews, on Monday's Hardball, decried the GOP for obstructing Obamacare as he scolded the Republican Party as "nasty" and "narrow in it's appeal" and strangely accused it of no longer being "a party of grand conservatism," as if opposing the current liberal version of health care reform isn't being conservative? Matthews, along with Democratic Representative John Larson of Connecticut, also wistfully pined for the days of a less combative GOP as the Hardball host wondered what happened to "the moderate Republicans" that "used to work...for positive government.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know Congressman, I've never seen the Republican Party so narrow in its appeal. It's basically come out and said, "Dis-invest in America, watch your pocketbook. Don't do anything, don't have any government." It's forgotten eight years of sort of spend thrift behavior by President Bush. It is like the guy in the, in the, in a, in a , what's that movie? Casablanca. Where the guy says "I can't believe gambling has been going on here." It's like they've discovered this sort of narrow Republicanism. What do you make of that in Connecticut? What do you make of the fact the Republican Party now isn't a party of grand conservatism, any more? It's a party of this narrow, little, nasty, don't do anything party.

MATTHEWS: Thank you very much. U.S. Congressman Larson, John Larson from Connecticut, who remembers the Rockefeller Republicans! The moderate Republicans! That used to work alongside of you for positive government that are now missing from the fold. Thank you very much for joining us. Congressman Larson, the chairman of the Democratic caucus in the House.

Matthews only likes tingly feelings from ‘rats.
How exactly can the republicans stop the libtards from doing anything?
It’s actually the opposite. The progressives have gone so far off the deep end they’ve left the Republicans and Independents far behind.
In other words "they are earning their pay"...
Read sign language, Chrissy?
Even the softie Rockefeller Republicans would puke on Obama and his government takeover of health in the US.
If Hissy Matthews is pissed, then it’s a good for America.
Awwwwwwwwwww poor Chris, did your butt buddy Obama turn you down again. Don’t worry, Eric Massa said he would come tickle you for free, no charge. Will that make you feel better
It is very hard to believe that Matthews is an adult.
He reminds me of a kid I knew in junior high school. Even looks like him. Same degree of maturity too.
Will feel great once we take back our government and send this guy out to slop the hogs.
Then we hang him.
Hissy Chrissy should just stay at home!
isn’t Matthews part of that all-white MSNBC racist lineup? (snicker)
It’s desperate remarks like this that makes me think Obamacare isn’t going to pass.
Well, if it is un-Constitutional, socialist, fascist, takes away from personal freedoms and liberties... In short, if it is un-American and anti-American well then {expletive}-YES! Call me do-nothing!
The less our government does, the better.
“.....I’ve never seen the Republican Party so narrow in its appeal....”
Translation: Holy Crap, we are getting our a$$es kicked by them.
What I could do in a dark alley with him.
Little & do nothing seems pretty accurate.
