Countdown Discussion: Friday, July 1, 2011

That's great news Kennymotown, Congratulations!

kewl !

p.s. +^d

Kansas is to abortion as to what Wisconsin is to collective bargaining.

You're right about that, tverdell.

A common ploy of any Rep pol. They wash their hands of their responsibility and lay it all on the Dems.

That is so true, wynnmeg61.

wynnmeg61, Keith did a web video on his former FOK (Friends of Keith) web site, where he analyzed the mentality of working class people who continue to fawn over the rich. He entitled it "Lotto Nation". It is the mentality of many among the working poor who refuse to hate the rich because they still believe they will someday be one of them. The delusional belief that they could hit the jackpot one day and they wouldn't want to be taxed more when they hit it big. Food for thought indeed.

I agree, scooter. Keith did a very good segment on Minnesota. I think the governor was right to let the Reps close down the government. Give the people a taste of what Rep rule is like!

Great comment scooter, your on top of it buddy!

i agree.

If the voters are too stupid not to see how the GOP is protecting the millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, there's not much to say anymore, kenny. I'm sick of seeing people voting against their best interests and hopefully with Keith getting the facts out there, we still stand a chance at stemmimg the tide.

Obama can take a lesson from Dayton, that's for sure, Leen.

Absolutely correct scooter, something needs to shake these people to their core and make them realize that!

We gotta hope so anyway, cherry. The electorate has been further dumbed down in the last 17 years, so we have to hope there is still enough collective IQ left out there.

Yeah, it should be obvious, but for some people it just isn't when their blind follower routine is so tough to break.

Reality is a bitch, and future shock is real! :)

And the right wing's blind followers reality and future shock will be eating dog food while their political heroes are eating caviar, kenny.

Hah, lol. Serves them right. I guess they will be getting their just deserts! :)

Now that the show is over time for the discussion, everybody ready?

Thank you, kenny. I can not live blog. I like to give Keith my full attention and comment after the show. Anyone can pick a segment they liked or thought was important, then comment and then someone can reply.

I've had ADD all my life so I'm the classic sharpshooter, shoot first and ask questions later. :) I hope you understand that. It should be after the show like now the discussion starts. I hope we can get video highlights soon.

Yes, kenny, after the show is best. I hope I can find videos, too. Let's don't get discouraged....this is the 4th of July holiday weekend, after all.

I'm not discouraged a bit, just an ugly day and a half for the community and that has me a little pissed off. I don't give up, if I do you will see me in the national headlines.

kenny,
I know about the uproar that has been going on here. There's alot of people on edge. I've heard the talk of mutiny but I think people are just kind of overreacting a bit. People just need to take a step back and not forget who their friends are.

Update---I just watched my local news. They want Prosser to resign and the group One Wisconsin has collected over 10,000 signatures!

Saw that on the news tonight too. Prosser needs to be ousted any way possible. The guy is a loose cannon and hopefully the Kochs will start to realize he got them what they wanted with the collective bargaining decision, but now it's time to cut him loose. But the Kochs usually don't let the absence of personal integrity in their political/judicial whores stand in the way of their objectives. We'll see how this one plays out.

We as Wisconsinites, must hope this plays out for the best.

kenny,
My nephew (the younger one..he's 27) has ADD and I know how he's struggled with it. You and him are 2 really smart guys and hard workers and you've both found your nitch in this world.

Thanks Leen, then you know how hard it is sometimes for me too calm down with so many different ideas popping around in my head. :) Your going to like my announcement either tonight or tomorrow morning. I guarantee it! The Kennymotown show is coming.

You're welcome, kenny. I can understand that from my nephew. I want to hear your annoucement but it will have to wait until tomorrow morning for me. I gotta lay down and it's after 11:00pm Central time here. Take care, can't wait for your annoucement and I'll talk to you tomorrow. :))

Thanks Leen, it will be a post tomorrow as I am succumbing to sleeps call myself. See you tomorrow! :)

I hope so kenny!

Me too, a Republicant primary winner with idiots voting for her on that one!

I hope so Kenny. Bachman's husband is as wacky as she is. What a rotten thing to say.

I'm going to have some great news for you soon!

If you have not seen it- go to the Countdown section and check out the Web Extra: Dan Savage and the Motivation Behind the Anti-Gay Bias. It helped me understand these folks.

When she stated that she was subservient to her husband she opened the door for his views being her views.

That is big news, subservient to her husband is an election killer!

If you ever need it. It was said in relationship to her decision to become a tax lawyer. She was not interested-husband told her to do it- she went ahead because she was subservient.

Copy and paste it, in case she gets out of the primary's!

More than that, who are we electing?

Who is going to make the decision to push the big shiny red button?

Here's the excellent interview Keith did with Dan Savage that amo42 is referring to. I searched the web and found it. A must see.

He sure did. He was in Oregon. Work a week off a week. This is what they get paid for. This must have been Boehner's idea.

He's a good lefty, one of my favorites cause he's from oregon!

Debt ceiling is a good topic. Playing chicken with our economy is disgracefull. Bush raised it seven times, no problem for him. I hate to think this, but I think the republicans want us to tank so they win the White House.

Spot on SFirman, you hit it out of the ball park the nerve of these traitors to hold us all hostage!

Or are the electorate smart enough to blame the Republicans?

I don't know the answer.

I don't know either, but I hope so. They will probably blame Obama.

Hope to see you in a room with Beck soon!

Indeed. But Jersey Shore outclassed them both put together.

Keith is green with envy, because Beck was a nut. I know better. You spelled his name wrong. I don't care about ratings. Keiths the best!

I'm with you on that, SFirman!
