Hey NBC, Fire Chuck Todd Today. [View all] kpete Oct 2014 OP

Fire whoever allowed that clip to be used by McConnell's campaign along with him. notadmblnd Oct 2014 #1

they are grasping.. she is a threat. Voice for Peace Oct 2014 #33

It wasn't "silly". Chuck did that to provide a soundbite for Mitch.... Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2014 #57

She should have said AlbertCat Oct 2014 #62

That would have been fine too. Puglover Oct 2014 #63

Really? First of all isn't the ballot a private matter? It is representative of a incompetent still_one Oct 2014 #77

Everything that comes out of his mouth sounds like a juicy fart to me. nt valerief Oct 2014 #22
