1. Shouldn't that be "...Helping Or Hindering US Healthcare

PROFITS?" They certainly don't seem to care about whether it's helping or hindering PEOPLE.

4. Respectfully, I would be more interested in your views if they had some foundation...

Some consistency that went beyond simply defending whatever the party and President were doing that day. You might not care, but I think you are a smart guy and I once enjoyed watching you.

5. I am tired of responding to B.S. like this. I have publicly disagreed with the POTUS multiple times.

What you have written is demonstrably untrue. I have publicly, as in articles and on national television in front of millions of people vehemently disagreed with the President several times.

If you are going to criticize someone, the least you could do is a modicum of research to see if you are right. Just the slightest bit of research would show you that you're contention is incorrect. Here is one of half a dozen examples.




So I can expect an apology and retraction any time now, right?

On Edit: Here is another example where I had Rep. Alan Grayson on my show and we agreed that the President's policy on Syria was wrong http://www.blogtalkradio.com/lesersense/2013/09/01/syria-with-alan-grayson#.UiSfq8d6vAY.blogger

6. I was giving you my impression. I am pleased that you do not always march in perfect lockstep...

So again, that's my impression based on the positions I have seen you defend. Clearly others feel the same.

7. That's your defense? "It was my impression" and "others feel the same"?

I'll help you out. The appropriate response for you is:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong".

11. Steve's okay, we just disagree on some things. He is using this to bump his thread and I don't mind.

It's nice that you do not ALWAYS march in lockstep with this administration.

with a fifth or more of bourbon in yer bellie, then you'd get Recs from the people that are dissing you here.


people are funny.

For what it's worth , yes, I have seen you criticize some of the President's policies/actions, but you do it respectfully and with intelligence. That's not what that crowd wants - they want blood and feces and gaping mouths filled with sharp teeth and froth.
