There's no better example than political commentary from a Hollywood elite to demonstrate how low some conservatives are regarded. According to actor Ted Danson, some conservatives are just being manipulated by Rush Limbaugh and organized religion because they're not smart to formulate their own beliefs.
Danson, who has starred in both "Becker" and "Cheers," appeared on HLN's Nov. 2 "The Joy Behar Show" and was asked to respond to Rush Limbaugh's criticism of Barack Obama on Nov. 1 "Fox News Sunday." Danson questioned the notion that Limbaugh, who is a self-made success, is really "one of the people." Instead, he accused him playing on people's fears and anger to make money, which he didn't like.
"The people of the people, Rush, one of us, yeah," Danson said. "Those are the people that really piss me off, to be honest. I totally understand people who are angry and are fearful. I understand people who church is a huge part of their life. I understand people not wanting their daughters to watch MTV. I understand and have empathy for all those people. The people that come along and make use of those people's fears and insecurities to make money or to make something, a position for them, you know, more palatable, those people are ... shame, shame."
Behar prodded Danson to name people that were guilty of his charge of playing on anger and fear, which he said not only Rush, but also the religious right.
"You know what - pretty much the religious right does that, by and large. You know?" Danson replied.
Behar called them "extremists," a suggestion Danson agreed with and got Danson to elaborate on how they play on people's fears.
"The people's fears, you totally understand," Danson said. "I understand that. I understand wanting to go to a mega-church because the rest of your life is tough. You know, I understand all of that, but then you come along and organize those people off of their fears and anger and I think that's too bad."
Behar also accused those same people of being "encouraged" to vote against their interests and Danson alluded to opposition to a government option of health insurance, suggesting it was being opposed by people it would help.
"Who's going to be able to get the government, what do you call it, with insurance, the government ... the public option," Danson said. "Right, only people who don't have insurance. So people who don't have insurance would rather not - they don't want it."
Behar's explanation - those in power were in cahoots with big insurance.
"They don't want to have too much competition for the insurance companies," Behar said.

November 3, 2009 - 07:18 ET by ChupacabraSo if I'm struggling through life to make ends meet and keep my head above water, but I don't believe its the Governments job to come bail me out and make life simple for me, what then?
Maybe I want the same opportunity and break that happened for Limbaugh and Hannity and I don't want a draconian tax structure or an over-reaching government to get in the way of my success.
And I love these people who, admittedly don't make as much as Rush, but are all millionaires in their own right thinking somehow they understand the plight of the common man better than Rush does.
Hey Ted: When was the last time you actually had to save money so you could buy new tags for your car? When was the last time you had to put your family on a savings plan so you could take your kids to Disneyland for a summer vacation? When was the last time you couldn't top your car's fuel tank off because your finances were pretty tight until next payday? When was the last time you put off buying new shoes for a few more months because it was more important to put new shoes on your kid's feet?
You understand us? Puhlease! You have more discretionary income tied up in your toupees than most of us spend all year in entertainment. So don't get on your high horse over what Rush makes and how he feeds on our fears. I'm terrified whack-jobs like you are going to decide you know best what my fears are and how I need them fixed. And let me tell you, Liberal Legislation has done more to create fear on my part than any Rush Limbaugh segment.
I feel really good that Danson cares about us....
November 3, 2009 - 07:17 ET by superconyou know, the little people. Tonight when I'm at my mega church getting my orders about who to vote for I will say a prayer for him as he flies over us in his private jet.
"The people of the people, Rush, one of us, yeah," Danson said." Yeah...Teddy is one of us. Think about him as you're standing in line to cash your paycheck. You probably worked all year to earn what he earns in an afternoon. His maid probably makes more than "us". What's even funnier is that he is sitting across from another mega star millionaire who thinks a toilet brush is a back scratcher and they are criticizing a celebrity for having too much money.
Oh that's funny.

November 3, 2009 - 07:22 ET by motherbeltThese are people who realize that the way they earn their money is worthless, so they have to try to prove that they are "relevant" to society.
I believe this all started in the Clinton administration, because Bill wanted to hobnob with the glamorous Hollywood set. In return, he made people like Danson and Streisand think they really were intelligent and he valued their input on government policy.

November 3, 2009 - 07:43 ET by danybhoyThe Hollywood era of self importance started, I believe, during The Vietnam War. Usefull idiots like Jane Fonda & the anti-war music scene predates the Clinton era hacks. In fact, many of the same people are involved.
Danson has been MIA for a long time, & many have not seen him or heard from him since "Cheers"or "Becker". He has the right to vent & give his opinion, but we have the right to shun him & avoid any project he is involved in. Free speech is a b!tch Danson, just ask the Dixie Chicks.

I really don't understand this (common) attitude. Danson has at least 100x the amount of money you or I could ever hope to make. He did this by being part of a product that, in a completely free market, the American populace responded to resoundingly enough that it produced millions in advertising revenue and syndication rights. In other words, though it was "merely" a form of entertainment, it generated income for an awful lot of people and created a cultural milestone in the process. I don't even really like Cheers, but the mere fact that someone earns their money in the entertainment business does not automatically place us regular folk in a position of moral superiority to them.
He has the right to vent & give his opinion, but we have the right to shun him & avoid any project he is involved in.
Yes, he does and you do, but here's another attitude that has always baffled me, and which appears to be much more prominent on the right than on the left: The knee-jerk threat to boycott anyone who so much as expresses an opinion counter to yours. This happens at least once a week on NB. Now I certainly understand not wanting to give your money to causes that are contrary to your own, and obviously if you don't watch anything with Danson (or listen to the Dixie Chicks) in the first place, that's one thing. But depriving yourself of something you'd otherwise enjoy, because of the personal politics of the people who created it is kind of stupid. The money you actually spend is negligible in the aggregate, and its not like the person is going to get a personalized telegram informing him or her that you, personally, refrained from buying their product. Awhile back a poster on here mentioned that his wife is a big Toby Keith fan but not only wouldn't purchase his new album because of his Democratic ties, but gave away her old ones. What does this accomplish? If my favorite musician in the world suddenly started spouting right-wing rhetoric that made Rush look like Rosie, I don't think it would occur to me to stop listening to his albums.
I agree with you on the
November 3, 2009 - 09:09 ET by motherbeltI agree with you on the futility of, say, denying yourself music that you like, because of someone's political leanings.
But I disagree that the boycott thing is more prominent on the right.
People refusing to buy Dixie Chicks or other music as a show of opposition is one thing.
No one tried to ban the Dixie Chicks from making and selling their music. However, the left is not only opposing Glenn Beck, they are trying to get him off the air.
The left may be more
November 3, 2009 - 09:19 ET by JasonCThe left may be more over-the-top in their attempts to silence Glen Beck. But I think the right, in its willingness to immediately condemn and announce their divestment from the creative work of anyone who speaks a non-conservative or critical-of-conservatism opinion, is more, shall we say, prolific in this sense.
I've lost count of how many times NBers have posted, in an eminently self-satisfied way, something to the effect of "Well there's one more person whose movies/music/shows/books I'll never spend another cent on.
So in other words, the left is more severe in the degree to which they'll carry such a protest (if one can call it that) but the right is faster to pounce on an objectionable celebrity.
Other than that, the comparison falls apart, unless the liberals you mention would actually really like to be watching Beck, but have to struggle to abstain from his show for the sake of political purity. This is not likely the case. I avoid his show not because of his politics (though I do heartily disagree with him on most things, I listen to conservative talk radio quite a bit) but because of the embarassingly hysterical way he presents himself. I sat through an entire show once and cringed so much I thought my face would freeze that way.
Yes, Jason, but those are
November 3, 2009 - 12:01 ET by motherbeltYes, Jason, but those are individuals....and you agree thgat individuals certainly have the right to spend their money (or not) where they choose.
It takes an enormous amount of effort to mount the kind of pressure that actually gets someone off the air (or tossed out of a business deal). That is the specialty of the Left.
Jason, I think the "attitude"
November 3, 2009 - 09:44 ET by Blonderegarding these Hollywood types runs more or less along these lines:
For the most part, many of the Hollywood elites are pretty faces who, by virtue of their looks alone, get lifted to the pinnacle of all wage earners in this country. I'd have to count Danson in that lot....he's not the greatest actor around. Nowhere near the talent level of a Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, or even a comedian/actor like Eddy Murphy. Even some of the top-tier actors are much better behind the camera, Clint Easton and Mel Gibson come to mind (Apocalypto).
Danson, just like everyone else, is entitled to his opinion, as dumb as I think it is.
Having said that, I don't really care to hear condescending blather from any of these actors, who like Danson did here, cast his views as being above "the people". That's just arrogant. So sure, he's going to get a "shut up and sing" from most of us here.
I hope he fails, too.
OK sure I'll agree with all
November 3, 2009 - 09:54 ET by JasonCOK sure I'll agree with all of that, especially the part about Danson being a pretty mediocre actor.
But the other side of that coin is that there is an obvious undercurrent of resentment & envy at work. I mean, we should all be so lucky to make millions, in the free marketplace, doing something we love, right? Danson, Ebert, even the guy who played Freddie Krueger. And sure, it doesn't make their opinions more valid than our own. But there is a tendency to over-correct and proclaim that celebrities' views are in fact less valid than ours. That, I think, is a fallacy...and even more so because it still splits along ideological lines. When Andy Williams and John Voight voiced opposition to Obama recently, NBers weren't exactly saying "That's nice, but you're famous, so keep it to yourselves."
But, and again I emphasize the "Free Market" component, a culture in which celebrity opinion is regarded as having more merit than that of non-celebrities, is a creation of the latter group.
Class Envy
November 3, 2009 - 10:19 ET by BlondeIn this case, I think Danson's view on "health care reform" ARE less valid.....he can afford anything he wants. But how does he speak for me, one of the people who is less wealthy than he? Do I want to be shoved into the public option, against my will? Because the public option will surely force all of us there, eventually.
As for your class envy remark, who was trying to foment it recently, trying to "claw back" those evil Wall Street bonuses? Who continues to berate the free market and capitalist system by publicly denouncing pharmaceutical firms and health insurance companies, and berating and attempting to regulate the (free-market) salaries of those in the financial industry.....and not only those in firms who received TARP monies? I think that would be the liberals and democrats.
I'm not sure which group you're trying to paint here in your last sentence, Jason. Personally, I think we ALL are "for" celebrity opinions of those with whom we agree, and against those who hold views different than our own. That's human nature.
I'm not so sure we disagree all that much, for a change. Perhaps it's just a matter of semantics. You asked about the "typical" reaction you get here, and I tried to explain it.
As for boycotts, and whatnot....I personally make it a point to never watch idiots like the twits on the View. I can't imagine a worse waste of time. Whether to watch the work of the uber-liberal actors, I really think about watching their movies before I do....for instance, I've seen Mystic River, which I thought was a good movie, but it would not be on my view-again list, just because Shawn Penn annoys me more than it's worth. Same thing with Shawshank Redemption....I loved that movie, but it's just to annoying to watch Tim Robbins. Guinan (Whoopster) in Star Trek NG, not so much, I'd still watch. Meryl Streep in almost anything....absolutely watch again, Out of Africa I've seen a zillion times.
I hope he fails, too.

Exactly. You want to know where real class warfare exists? Where there is a real snobby attitude toward people of different wealth status and even race? Well, pretty much every other country BESIDES this one. Especially those heavy on the socialism and/or ruler/monarchy side of governing. The UK (Britain, really), for one, where I've been several times and have family there, and dated someone, too, who had a liberal mindset but whom I soon discovered was very elitist and quite opinionated about groups and types of people.
The free-market system is a system that allows us all to climb and descend the ladder. That's the beauty of it.
Government's Role
November 3, 2009 - 10:30 ET by SimJimWhether "resentment & envy" are at work here, unlike liberals, conservatives do not expect Ted Danson and other entertainers to give us their money.
As for opinionating, Joy Behar is the forum for the "famous". NB provides a forum for all. I find the intelligence exhibited here far greater than anything to be found in a television studio.
I do find most celebrities' views to be less valid than the opinions expressed here and in my day-to-day life. Like it or not, we represent the average American existence. Go to school. Get a job. Raise a family. Few celebrities have led an adult life anything like the average Joe or Jane. They speak for the entertainment elite. It is foolish to think they understand the life of the common man.
Sim, I disagree with both
November 3, 2009 - 11:29 ET by JasonCSim, I disagree with both of your premises. The specific nature of Danson's politics are not the issue here; the issue is whether he has as much a right as you or me to speak his mind. And if he wants to support a political view which, conceivably, would shrink/distribute the contents of his bank account because he feels it's the right thing, more power to him.
Your paragraph about celebrities' views being of less importance or validity seems to assume that all celebrities were simply born into that culture. While that may be the case for, say, Charlie Sheen, aren't most of them people who pursued a career path that interested them (and one that is ruthlessly difficult to ascend in) and succeeded in a free market (in that we, as a culture, reward those who we feel are most entertaining)? In other words, aren't they simply people who have attained what us average Americans are striving for, albeit in a more grandiose and visible way? I personally think we must be more careful in recapitulating the Palinesque meme that there are Regular Americans and Non-.
Blonde, I think we are agreeing for the most part. And yes, of course, we will be more sympathetic to a celebrity who espouses OUR view. But if one wishes not to appear hypocritical, one must make a choice; either celebrities' opinions are as valid as anyone else's, in spite of their perhaps unfair advantage in being able to make those opinions heard; or all celebrities' opinions are tainted by the social position of The Celebrity, who is, after all, not a common man, as SimJim would have it.
Further, I recognize perfectly well that it is up to the individual to decide what to watch/listen to or not watch/listen to based on whatever criteria they deem important. I can't tell, in your examples, if you mean that you find Penn and Robbins and Whoopi annoying in their particular roles in those movies you otherwise like, or if you find their presence annoying in them because their political comments reverberate in your mind as you watch them. If the former, that certainly makes sense. The latter is the position that I just can't get on board with myself. But as I said, it's not something I want to argue about; your viewing habits, and to what degree you refrain from watching things you would otherwise enjoy because of its secondary ideological implications, are your own business.
And the last sentence you asked about is simply claiming that if ours is a culture in which celebrity opinion is given undue exposure and precedence, it's only because we, all (or most) of us have contributed to that culture.
Wrong On Both Counts
November 3, 2009 - 12:29 ET by SimJimNever said Danson doesn't have the right to speak his mind. By the same token, the average person has a right to speak their mind. If that includes boycotting something or other, then all power to them. Danson can speak and we can speak back.
The left, especially the race hustlers, constantly use intimidation as a tactic. Many of them make a living off of intimidation. To pretend that boycotts or the threat of boycotts in primariy a tool of the right is ludicrous. In either case, every person has a right to express their opinion and let the chips fall where they may.
As for the life experiences of celebrities, I think your understanding of the rise to the top is way off. Sure, some small number of celebrities slowly rise to the top, but I think it is a sure bet most of them have been "chosen" early on in their lives. Perhaps a few live years of the grind and eking out an existence, but among the celebrities this is the exception, not the norm.
I've been an adult for 29 years. I moved from a blue collar laborer until making some adjustments in my thirties with a shift into white collar labor. I am the average person. Ted Danson is not. Maybe your distorted view can be explained by your insistence that most celebrities have similar experiences to the rest of us? It's a laughable premise.
My describing it as being
November 3, 2009 - 13:29 ET by JasonCMy describing it as being about Danson's "right" to speak was a mischaracterization of your position. You are right on this. My apologies.
I think perhaps we're both overselling our depiction of Hollywood fame. I'm describing it as succeeding in an endeavor like any other, and being rewarded by audience response in a free market. You're describing it as being mostly about certain people being essentially anointed. A more accurate depiction of the industry probanly lies somewhere in between.

November 3, 2009 - 09:54 ET by Dan The Man 2Awhile back a poster on here mentioned that his wife is a big Toby Keith fan but not only wouldn't purchase his new album because of his Democratic ties, but gave away her old ones. What does this accomplish?
Its called principles, do you understand the concept and how far are you willing to go to accomplish those principles? I can also see that anytime I know its Toby I get a bad taste in my mouth and it ruins the music. Toby is not a mild liberal he is a radical from where I sit and he must be squashed.
Toby Keith is a liberal
November 3, 2009 - 09:58 ET by JasonCToby Keith is a liberal radical? Are we talking about the same guy here? I mean, I don't listen to his music (for aesthetic, no political reasons), but I never would have guessed he sang paeans to leftism.
As for principles, I don't buy it. I see it more as the narcissistic delusion that by personally refraining from something I'd otherwise enjoy, my sacrifice somehow makes a difference. The person I was referring to was someone who really did want to be listening to his albums but apparently felt she was having an impact by not doing so. Call it what you want, it's an impotent gesture.

Sigh..... without getting
November 3, 2009 - 21:37 ET by SnappySigh..... without getting into it too much you need to understand that by listening to or buying Toby Keith albums, watching movies with Whoopi or Ted, or Sean in them you CONTRIBUTE to their beliefs and by proxy are approving of them and allowing them to continue. The same as if you discover your favorite restaurant is serving rat meat in its philly cheesteak. You may really have liked the taste of that cheesesteak but once you found out it was rat and not beef are you going to continue to purchase that sandwitch thus giving them implied approval of their practice? Or are you going to stop eating there, showing them that they do NOT have your approval and have lost a customer.

November 4, 2009 - 02:13 ET by Dan The Man 2A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step, and a movement also starts simarily with one person and then another and so on until we have the tea party movement. The movement resulted in many upsets for the opposition and the movement shall continue.
It all started because one person stood up and said no. It was inconsequential and dismissed by some of those who have no principles, the media, but one person said no and another heard and said no and so on until teh tea party movement is what we have.
Its because one person said no.
And here is where someone
November 4, 2009 - 10:09 ET by SnappyAnd here is where someone with actual principles or beliefs would understand the argument and disagree with you.

Hence, a boycott. If
November 4, 2009 - 21:10 ET by MikeBHence, a boycott. If enough people make it known that they will no longer patronize an establishment, or buy movies or albums from a certain performer because of their public stand on various issues, the establishment or performers might just "shut up and sing". Sometimes there are principles involved. And most times do not include class envy. Class envy and class warfare are a staple of the left, not the right.

It often takes years, but it does diminish from one's enjoyment of a celebrity once you realize how arrogant (or whatever) they are.
I don't need to boycott, say, Sean Penn; it's just that their real selves have come through too much and aren't pleasant, so you don't want to see them anymore. Because you don't like them anymore. (If that makes sense.)

people who church is a huge part of their life. I understand people not
wanting their daughters to watch MTV. I understand and have empathy for
all those people. The people that come along and make use of those
people's fears and insecurities to make money or to make something, a
position for them, you know, more palatable, those people are ...
shame, shame."
Gee, I guess Ted is complaining about Rev. Wright and how he fans the flames of hate and racism to pay for that big house he has.
". . .and got Danson to elaborate on how they play on people's fears."
You mean like how people like Gore and Edwards play on people's fears in order to enrich themselves?
"Danson alluded to opposition to a government option of health
insurance, suggesting it was being opposed by people it would help."
Yes, that insurance, which you will have to buy or be fined or imprisoned, will sure help the homeless, who I'm sure have lots of money to pay for it. Can you say 'round 'em up!'?

November 3, 2009 - 07:57 ET by GeneralAl"Danson alluded to opposition to a government option of health insurance, suggesting it was being opposed by people it would help."
I have a fabulous insurance plan that I was able to take with me into retirement [For a nominal small fee!]. Unfortunately, the wonderful Communist inspired MediScare forces me to take its plan at 65. Add to it, the cuts imposed by Morticia Pelousy and Scarry Harry Deeds, I will have the least amount of coverage at the time in my life where I will need it the most!
Oh Well, as Robert B. Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh said, its time to die at that point anyway!

Today, its a douchebag called Ted Danson. Once again, someone trying to represent the Hollywood elite has to trot out onto the political scene and pretend as if they know anything about middle class America, or how anything on the hill works. This guy should be apologizing for the atrocity that was Becker. That show makes my tv bleed. talk about irrelevent( i mean both Behar and Danson). Such hypocrisy, even right in his face as Behar, night after night, stokes the fires with lies, misinformation, and pure opinion.

But seriously, Ted's an old "save the whaler" from way back-- and therefore a hoaxer-- talk about the pot calling the kettle black-- he dares to suggest that "...people in churches.." among others, have a locked mindset, when he himself is on his own crusade, and lambasts others who do not follow HIS agenda???

They truly believe that because they are who they are and because of the money they have that the world they want for everyone else will not apply to them.

Really? On a heavily hyped election day the CNN lead story is what Sam Malone thinks of a radio personality?
Here's a note to CNN: if all you plan to do is have shows where the hosts bring in guests to discuss things said by other hosts and their guests (which is all Joy Behar seems to do...talk about Fox and Rush and Hannity and Beck...she's like Keith Olberman with testicles), you should cut your losses and just bring Montel and Jerry Springer into your fold and give up news reporting for good.

November 3, 2009 - 08:56 ET by nkviking75"The people's fears, you totally understand," Danson said. "I understand that. I understand wanting to go to a mega-church because the rest of your life is tough. You know, I understand all of that, but then you come along and organize those people off of their fears and anger and I think that's too bad."
This from a man who ran around saying the earth only had ten years left. Unfortunately for him, those ten years passed years ago and we're still here.
Danson, you don't understand anything.

How ironic that Danson kept
November 3, 2009 - 08:56 ET by Radical1979How ironic that Danson kept refering to Rush as an entertainer, as if that made everything said by Rush was invalid. Because TED is an entertainer, or at least he thinks he is, so the conversation should have ended right then and there.
And if Joy insists on talking politics with her guests maybe she should try talking to someone who has an education in history or political science. Not actors with a self inflated sense of importance and little education.

November 3, 2009 - 12:36 ET by AgnosticTed never understood why Becker was cancelled even though the ratings were okay and other shows survived with much lower ratings. I've always assumed that the reason Becker was cancelled was because the main character ranted about personal responsibility and complained about a politically correct society. Ted lost his job because he portrayed his version of an atheist conservative as an angry and disassociative character but the audience still loved his conservative rants.

Spreading fear?
November 3, 2009 - 09:15 ET by awffp1890The left continue to go on about Beck and Limbaugh spreading fear, yet not a single one of them has talked about Al Gore spreading his fear, and what some scientist think as un-true information about global warming.
As far as the religious right, being a religious conservative does not make all of us nut jobs. Remember this Ted, Joy, et al:
"As certainly as I live, declares the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God." Romans 14:11
"Not for fame or reward, not for place or rank, not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity. But in simple obedience to duty." - From the barracks at Ft. Benning
Reading this transcript
November 3, 2009 - 09:56 ET by ReaverReading this transcript (please don’t make me watch the video, Joy’s voice reminds me of fingernails on a blackboard ) it strikes me that these two cover just about every left wing cliché in the book – right wing extremists, intolerant religious conservatives, ignorant masses, Limbaugh, Beck, evil corporations. This is what passes for intelligent conversation on the Joy Behar Show? No wonder her ratings are so low, not an original thought or keen insight in the entire conversation.

He does speak awkwardly, doesn't he? "Those who church" as if church is a verb.
He just made my day!
November 3, 2009 - 11:00 ET by doug1950I managed to piss Ted Danson off and didn't even have to try. So he can go around all pissed off for the rest of his miserable life while I can enjoy mine. I may go fishing just to celebrate, hoist a cold one and think of new and more devious ways to piss him and his cadre of nitwits off more often.I think we are on to something here. They see their utopia in the stark light of day and it isn't nearly as pretty as they imagined and is in danger of crashing down around their ears exposing it for the cardboard facade that it is.

Ecology? Climatology? Physics? How did you arrive at your conclusion about the oceans? And now, you wish to pontificate about the human condition. Since you disappeared from the public eye, did you go back to school and get a degree in Sociology or Psychology or Political Science? Or, are you just another unqualified ignorant schlub with an opinion?

Pompous liberal actors who think they know whats best for me and proceed to tell me how I cant think for myself and because they have been in a few movies or tv shows they somehow have this moral high ground on which to ponitificate and tell me how I have somehow been boondoggled by the evil right wing republican machine. (deep breath) How conservatism is in its death rattle and God was never and should never be mentioned in public. Thats what really pisses me off. Its fine if you have an opinion, but guess what, I have one too and I will bet you that I know more about day to day living under the umbrella of the "Middle Class" than you do now or ever have. So save your opinions and sympathy of my plight and ignorance for your next screening party or Hollywood sorie as I am not interested in them.

However, I have yet to see how they've managed to affect mine or Mr. Danson's life one bit. He might as well attack the (hundreds?) of active Klansmen and neo Nazis out there as well since these Libtards generally do...oh, and a man who is no longer president. Inconsequential.
If your own ideology fails over and over and over and over and over again, it doesn't matter who you blame. These Libs need to get a clue and realize that though most of us would like to sprout wings and fly, win the lottery or have our favorite (extant) band perform at our next birthday party...it just ain't going to happen.
Still, I guess with this bunch all of the above could come to pass by pretending that it can. Somehow, that's always good enough for them...they are always immune to the consequences of bringing us along on their magic carpet rides.

Ms. Behar, I do not "vote against my interest". I am not a stomach to fill! My interest is, the rule of law and the social contract, and responsive government. And in years of watching CSPAN have seen that the lying, pandering, crypto-marxist party with the D does not represent me. They might if I were a simpler machine, taking their pandering as input and spitting back my vote. If I could be reduced to a grateful appetite, I would probably be a staunch Dem.
You're a teacher? Educate yourself on "Straw Man Fallacy". Because you so easily resolve your cognitive dissonance between the way that pubs "should" vote and the way that they "do" vote, by knowing that they need be "educated" on how to vote. If they were "educated" they would know how to vote for the "self-interest" that you assign to us.
