When did the GOP lose touch with Reality?

[Faldur]

The conservatives on here are certainly doing their part to back up these findings.

Post something worthy of response and I'm sure you'll see plenty. I'm not sure you have any members of the GOP on this board, maybe Erika.

You fool.

yea like ....well like, like this is toxic, ya know ? They like did this survey right, and ya know like ..... ROTFLMAO

Let me get this straight....Ben posts a clip, of a 20 something valley girl talking about some "study" ( that's an ironic word to use considering the host and his guest) from some unknown university in Canada....appearing on a cable TV side show that has less ratings than the local traffic station in Kenosha Wisconsin, and you jump all over it with your best "me too" enthusiasm. And you wonder why we laugh at you....If you were a fish, you'd bite on a bare hook !!
No Ben...it's not controversial...it's pathetic, and you're pathetic for posting it. Hardly your best cut and paste job.

This is classic. I'm saving this thread and getting into the comedy central writers.

Looks like OMK just proved you're right, Ben. It's controversial. Who'da thought?

Excellent piece by Krugman. Thanks Trish.

Thanks Trish, also! Looking at a related link, I found this article:

This article makes that claim that the poorest are getting less, in percentage of Government benefits, than in the past. It goes to one of my beliefs that everyone, rich, middle class, or poor is trying to maximize the benefits, of their financial relationship with government. It's not just 'lazy' people, as some people are led to believe.

It's funny watching the same Tea Partiers that revolted after Bush lining up behind Romney, another Rove puppet.

Reagan, now, is seen as a moderate. That's how far to the right the Republicans have moved.
I mean, Romney is moving more and more to the right during this campaign. He has to. To capture the nomination. But, deep down, Romney is a moderate.

Attaboy kneeler. Stick to your guns. Even when it's obvious to everyone that you're just another angry little CON who never lets facts get in the way of a good rant.

I realize you want to dismiss the whole TYT phenomenon as a "cable TV side show that has less ratings than the local traffic station in Kenosha Wisconsin" but the plain truth is
'The Young Turks is the largest online news show in the world, covering politics, pop culture and lifestyle. The TYT Network is one of the Top 50 You Tube Partners, with over 30 million views a month and well over 670 million total video views on The Young Turks YouTube Channel. An award-winning online broadcast, The Young Turks won the 2011 People's Voice Webby Award for Best News & Politics Series, 2011 News/Politics Shorty Award, and Best Political Podcast 2009 at the Podcast Awards and Best Political News Site 2009 at the Mashable Awards. Additionally, The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur debuted on Current TV in December 2011.' http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9195065.htm

Kneeler, are you really this guy?
