The libs are so in love with the results of the last two elections they think they're a permanent majority. They have no clue these tea parties are an early warning sign of trouble ahead, that many don't like the direction Zero is headed.
Bill Ritter wasn't as extreme, but he's been doing similar things here since he was elected governor, acting like we're a blue state and doing lots of stuff to bash business and raise taxes and spending. The latest polls show his support has fallen to close to 40% and he's upside down with unfavorables greater than favorables.
It took about two years for this to filter down from the political class and business community to the average voter, but once it happens, it's big, big trouble for that politician. Like Zero, Ritter had very little political experience and didn't realize the delayed impact that nutty stuff can have.
Why is it that I suspect Bill Maher is going to be among the first guys to line up in Iowa with a chicken under their arm and ask for a marriage license.
Bill Maher: Divorced from sanity, and decency he shows his true self...shape shifter masquerading as a human being.
Yo, Billy .... we FReepers DO GET IT... you however, ... well, we have our Concerns!
**(Mr. Maher ain’t exactly Ernie Pyle....)**
It would be a STRETCH to compare Maher to GOMER PYLE!!
When I saw this “op/ed” was written by Bill Maher, I immediately disregarded it.
Bill Maher is one of the last people I want accusing the GOP (or anyone for that matter) of being divorced from reality.
Bill Maher sincerely cares about the Republican Party.
Is he saying Democrats aren’t clinging to their global warming, their pro abortion, pro open borders, anti gun, anti home-schooling, anti individual, anti liberty agendas? What Maher considers rightwing ignorance to be would not exist if it didn’t counter genuine leftwing ignorance. For instance. If Americans weren’t obsessed with killing babies, we Christians (religion) wouldn’t protest what is going on. If Americans would drop their silly obsession with the faux science of globalist warming, we should quit pointing out the errors of anti carbon thinking. If leftwing Statists would get over their obsession with taking our guns, we would put them in our safes, and quit clinging to them. Do you see my point Bill? But while we are at it, don’t pretend Republicans don’t have any serious counters to the radical, leftist extremism being forced upon Americans in the areas of the economy, healthcare and education. We aren’t going to concede the cultural issues just because there are economic and social issues to debate. That is, unless the left wants to concede those cultural issues to us. If you aren’t willing to go there, stuff it.
Oh, and by the way Bill, you guys own the war now. What are you complaining about. Talk to 0.

The problem is, youth actually believe that Maher, Franken,Stewart, Colbert have facts that mean something in the political debate. It is sad and it is just now an overwhelming position that the uninformed still dominate the electoral process. Nothing, except the Tea deals, have shown me that Pubs, Indies, Conservs have any more impact on national electoral results. At least so far. This is sad.
Oh, I know. It’s so unfortunate. I was just talking with a 20-year-old at my place of employment the other day, and he stated with a very straight face that he only watches The Daily Show and Colbert for his news, because they tell it like it is, and because he likes satire — of course, not even realizing the contradiction in terms inherent in that statement, or the stupidity of getting all one’s information about the world from two comedy shows. Pathetic.
