1. Wow, a pragmatic Democrat with a spine.. Im shocked n/t

[Wetzelbill]

2. he's great

If you look in my journal I have another video of him with Rachel from just a few days ago, I think. Or maybe last week? It's nice listening to him, for sure.

3. K & R

This is a must watch. I'm surprised it doesn't have more recs. The truth hurts I guess.

4. Maddow's lead-in alone is a must listen for anyone who cares about the facts.

Facts are stubborn things.

K & R and thank you for a reality-based injection of some very important ones.

[Wetzelbill]

5. you're welcome

Rachel has been a much needed voice, she's fantastic.

7. Thanks for posting this K&R

I feel slightly more optimistic now.

Come on Obama, no more Mr Nice Guy with those belligerent douche-nozzles and remember which party you're in, ffs.

9. It just needs ONE more rec to be featured. n/t

[Turborama]

10. How does the feature thing work? n/t

:kick:

[ihavenobias]

11. For eligible videos, it's just whoever has the most recs within a 24 hour period. n/t

[ihavenobias]

8. Kick n/t

12. with all the complaining about including tax cuts

aren't these the tax cuts that were promised in the Obama campaign speeches?

Disagreeing with Rachel here, I think we are getting a lot in this stimulus package because it includes these tax cuts for folks making under $100k

13. I don't think they need to worry about the credit line as long as they get the engine going again.

14. DeFazio was my Congressman when I lived in Oregon.

But did I hear him say this is "borrowed" money? OMG!

[Wetzelbill]

15. every cent of it

That's the boat Bush and the Republicans put us in. Forced to come up with an insanely expensive stimulus package to avoid a depression and we have to borrow every penny. Yuk.

[Wetzelbill]

16. BTW, thanks for all the votes, I appreciate it.

I have to single out my friend, ihavenobias, thanks for all your hard work, you always drum up extra recs when you really believe in the message a video sends, whether it's your post or mine or somebody elses. Kudos!
