The 11/3 Project

Ah, sounds like a parody of this incident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8APd0OBf ... re=related
edit: wait I think thats the wrong video
I think its this one actually http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM4xqnuk ... re=related

People watch this... drama queen... whose acting skills could only be rivalled by Jenny McCarthy as something other than already a parody? To think Obama gave people here hope of a cultural improvement.

Dont worry, the number of people who'll admit to agreeing with them is shrinking daily,

Uhm, those elections and referenda you just had would seem to contradict you.

How is there even a connection?

I mean, politically, there was no swing to Beck-like views:

Two governor elections (which are largely irrelevant to actual politics) went to the Republicans, but one Democrat Representative gained a huge margin, and another took a seat held by Republicans since the middle of the 19th century.

The Maine vote followed the same trend as 30-something votes before it - but was a narrow margin. Which is actually an improvement.

There may be a swing towards the kind of Conservatism that Beck espouses, but the recent elections didn't reflect it.

You answered your own question. While thinking you were contradicting me, you weren't, which is amusing. And, yes, in the vein of 30 whatever referenda before it. Showing that not much has changed. So, in that respect you are right. There was no "swing back". Because you can't swing back to where you've been all the time.

Meh, I would disagree, I prefer to be optimistic, we'll just have to see...

I was explaining the nuances of American politics to an outsider.

Take that as contradiction if you wish.

Like an outsider should have the right to do that,

I am just wondering, what do people here think of the 11/3 project?

john stewart made me weep.

[Ashmoria]

It was pretty good, but Beck is already a parody of himself. Why laugh at Stewart's parody of Beck when I just change the channel to Fox News and literally have a buffet of choices of crazy people to laugh at.

aye

no matter how ruthlessly stewart mocks beck he isnt as crazy as beck is.

Thats why we have Colbert,

Meh, I would disagree, I prefer to be optimistic, we'll just have to see...

Optimism, the first step on the road to disappointment.

Ah, yes, the nuances of a two party system. How multifaceted.

Moreso than you'd think actually, the two parties are like Onions,

Some would argue it's a one-party system, and that the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is 'nuance'.

That's why I never leave home without my flask. I'll drunkenly walk right past disappointment and never realize it.

Sure, a road trip may sound like fun, but when you're going to Wasilla, you're going to Wasilla.

beck is making the writer's job on both shows way too easy.

That was my implication.

Then explaining the nuances would be a good thing, no?

Its a conspiracy between Fox and Viacom to drive up eachothers' ratings, *nods*

[Pevisopolis]

Absolute Genius. We need to take back Glenn Beck's internal organs!

Then explaining the nuances would be a good thing, no?

In case the difference between mauve, fuchsia, orchid and heliotrope were of consequence to me.

Do you actually have anything to say, or are you just taking issue with every post I make?
