1. OMG, Specter actually sounds like a real Democrat

Good for him. At least on this issue. His party left him.

[Warpy]

3. Yes, I'm amazed

his fellow Democrats must be doing something right, the sanity is starting to rub off on the old boy.

If he keeps this up, he might be worthy of re election.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. He's no Joe Sestak, but I'll thank him for his support of the Public Option.

:thumbsup:

4. worried about coming election?

6. his career is closing. it is time for him to leave a legacy. health care would be a worthy one.

5. A superb politician (of either side). Better for us to have him on our side...

better for him too, I think. He seems more comfortable in
his skin in this interview than I have ever seen him. In any
event, his skill cannot be doubted.


Sure I have cursed him. Yes I have. But I like him better now,
after this interview.

8. agreed. he does seem more comfortable and passionate supporting sensible policy

than being locked down into the party of no's marching orders.

7. It is a total waste of time for any P.O. supporter to appear on Fox "News"

[BREMPRO]

9. i disagree-- faux news watcher need to know there is an argument for it

even if they don't agree with it. I like to see strong liberal and moderate voices challenging the increasingly radical conservative and corporate views held by the fauxville clan.

12. Fox "News" is a pure propaganda channel. It is fake "News". By appearing on that channel,

Democrats help to back up the phony claim that they are objective. As I have said several times before, Democrats should not help them, so people can see them as they are - a crazed bunch of wild dogs in full throat barking and spitting one stupid message. They would look more foolish than they do today.

10. Subtle Lies

FOX just gets better at them. First, Chris is supposed to be the 'more honest guy' on FOX. That's like saying a 'timid wolf' is okay in a hen house. It's easy to miss how they do what they do. So did anyone notice when he said the process would start with tax increases in 2011 (of course, non-specific mention, scare everyone, even though Obama has said those tax increases would only be on the wealthy). He then goes on to say it wouldn't 'start' until 2015 (That figure is also not accurate, 2012 is what I'd heard). Then he goes on to say 'you're paying for it for 10 years before it starts'. Even in his voodoo estimates of 2011 - 2015, that's 4 years of 'paying for it'. Turn what's really a year into 4 then turn it into ten. Some dumb-ass who's tuning in to watch the 'news' will hear 'taxing (just the rich, but don't tell them that) people for 10 years (a year)'. It's a science that FOX has mastered. All purely deception.
