CORRECTION: “and he was elected there by the people”, not party.

By the way, what the hell does Greg Gutfeld have to do with anything? Gutfeld is a clown among clowns. Extremely unfunny, a loser with no political knowledge whatsoever, and looking at the books he has written (two editions of “Lessons from the Land of Pork Scratchings”… whatever that is, and some books on keeping score on relationships and on the job… wow).

Gutfeld is not even on Scarborough’s level… he shouldn’t even be put into the same sentence as a Republican congressman. Gutfeld is a joke and a fraud who wouldn’t know politics if it bludgeoned over the head. Case and point would be watching his show that gets ratings because he has a bunch of morons watching who hate the “liberal bias” at comedy central, so his terrible program is a good alternative for the teabaggers and nutjobs.

Only educated people will listen to what a Republican congressman says because the uneducated wouldn’t be able to comprehend most of it.

Oh Captain, my captain:

“Obama didn’t get addicted because of back surgery and being given RX drugs by a doctor.”

I thought personal responsibility was a conservative value, but I guess our party values don’t apply to the blowhards shouting them with a megaphone.

I do not understand what happened to Joe. He used to be a solid conservative. He had brass gonads and would stand up to any lefty. Now, he just melts. I guess Rush is right (as usual) about Scarborough being a neutered metro sexual girly kind of a man. Too bad. He used to be good.
As for some ones comment about personal responsibility. I believe that Rush paid for his own treatment for his addiction, worked his recovery program successfully. There really is nothing else a man can do.
It Obama’s thing was street drugs. No Dr’s involved. Just Obama and his pusher(s). He seems to have got passed that as well. Wish he could get a handle on the honesty part of your typical 12 step program.

First of all, Capt: using your logic that Greg Gutfeld beats Morning Joe (which are in COMPLETELY different time slots, by the way) means I can point out that countdown obliterates Campbell Brown and every other CNN show. So how is that any different? And he crushes those programs more than red eye beats Morning Joe. Red Eye’s ratings aren’t even crushing them… Morning Joe gets 382k in total and red eye gets 433k. WOW… what domination. LOL… please.

Second, responding to “ChrisNH”: Scarborough doesn’t want to go to Fox News because he knows that almost nobody there is looking in the best interest of the country, and instead they THINK they are looking for the best interest of the Republican Party, which ironically is destroying the party itself. Scarborough doesn’t believe in the tactics fox news uses, and he is not a neo-conservative like many of them. Scarborough is a true Conservative and he doesn’t praise the republicans on every single little thing they do. He criticizes them when they aren’t following the traditional conservative way, which he knows all about. Furthermore, Scarborough doesn’t care about what ratings he gets. That is ALL what Beck cares about, and he is a clown because of it. Scarborough isn’t like Beck at all and never wants to be like him. He will never sell his soul to the devil known as fox news, and I commend him for that. Joe doesn’t care about the millions he makes and the popularity he has… he cares about the people more. By the way, Scarborough uses the same train of thought that Alan Colmes does for being at Fox. He doesn’t want to preach to the choir all the time, and instead, he wants to deal with opinions that oppose him, and it works out for both of them. The obvious choice would be for those two to switch sides, but they choose not to. I lean to the left, and I watch Scarborough every morning. I disagree with him 90% of the time, but still enjoy watching.

And, as for ImNotBlue: I can’t disagree with you that he is a hack, because that is your opinion. I personally like him because he doesn’t shove his opinion down everybody’s throat like Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Beck and Hannity do. And I like the dissenting opinion I hear from him… I appreciate it because it’s sensible. He gives legitimate criticisms of President Obama and of the Democratic Party. But the others all force you to agree with them, and if you don’t, you are considered “far-left” or too liberal… as if they are so truly conservative, which they aren’t. And I am certainly not far-left… I consider myself a libertarian that agrees with some liberal positions and a few conservative ones.

Capt:
What’s wrong with their time slot? They are on at the same time Conan, Letterman and Kimmel, so don’t use that sorry excuse.

Wow, he beats her by 13k… lets throw a party! And yet, Campbell kills him in total viewers by almost 300k. By the way, that is a lie. Keith doesn’t lose “a lot of the time” to Grace, rarely, if ever. So yes, I can make that comment.

Vastly overpaid? He gets the highest ratings on the network… what do you think he should get paid. That is another lie… Olbermann gets a million viewers at least 90% of the time, so your claim is false once again. Deadwood? Please. Red Eye is the deadwood with its unfunny anchors… get rid of them.

ImNotBlue:
Yeah, I have a name, but Facebook keeps it hidden.

Yes, im sure Joe’s opinions have changed. That is how politics works… all current and former politicians flip flop on their ideas and opinions, conservative or democrat. If you expect everyone to think the same thing for their entire lives in politics, then you will be sadly disappointed. And if you don’t know where he stands, watch his show in the mornings. Look how many times he bashes President Obama… look how many times he defends the republicans… look how many times he complains about the liberals. Hell, look how many times he runs a train over Mika whenever she says something that he doesn’t like. On almost a weekly basis, he verbally embarrasses her on air, so don’t give me all this crap about him going to the left sometimes. He has never, ever held a liberal point of view. That would be a sin in his world. In fact, he is more to the right now than he was before, and he was pretty much to the right there as well. I would know because i watch MJ every single morning. I haven’t missed a show since early in the primaries. And even back when Scarborough was in primetime, I wouldn’t consider Matthews on the left. He has kissed so much republican @ss (McCain, Giuliani, Romney, etc) and bashed Hilary Clinton that at one point, even the left couldn’t stand it. MSNBC has even put conservatives in its primetime lineup. If you have been watching Scarborough for that long, you would know about Tucker Carlson (now on fox news) hosting his own show at 6pm and Pat Buchanan co-hosting with Bill Press prior to Carlson taking over. So MSNBC has done it all and gone all up and down the aisle, so the fact that they are touted as a “left-wing network” is frankly laughable.

Honestly, I don’t know how you think O’Reilly is the least conservative when he is against any form of abortion and actually rails against anybody who suggests it… he supports war and, at most, only opposed the Iraq war, but he was never against an invasion, in general… and, clearly, he is fully against the public option, as well. As for Hannity, he is against any ideology that is to the left of Reagan or any typical conservative. Not much else to say about that. As for beck… again, I don’t understand how you can’t figure him out yet. The overwhelming amount of attacks that he launches against the liberals/democrats and President Obama is much more than any attacks he does against conservatives/republicans. This is an obvious and well-known fact just from listening to his radio and TV show.

So, in your opinion, Scarborough is just barely a good enough Republican that liberals tolerate him? That’s odd because I don’t find his politics tolerable, I just enjoy him because he is funny and he doesn’t make his viewers agree with him on every issue. As I said, Limbaugh and O’Reilly always do that. Plus, people on the left like Maddow, Olbermann, etc. can’t seem to stand Scarborough. So how do you explain that? As far as Mediaite goes, I haven’t been on it much to really figure out who’s a liberal or conservative. And I don’t think looking at the people who post on a blog website is much evidence to prove whether liberals like Joe Scarborough or not. That would be the best way to get an inaccurate reading. So no, it doesn’t tell me much about his presentation, and it shouldn’t tell you much, either.

By the way, I’m watching Morning Joe right now and Joe is going on a rant (while laughing his @ss off) about how much President Obama doesn’t deserve the NPP, that Jimmy Carter got his 2002 for attacking George W. Bush and wonders why Ronald Reagan didn’t get one for creating peace during his presidency. Damn, that Scarborough… what a RINO! Please.

And, it’s funny that you mention calling Rush a “poopy pants dork”… I was about to use that one! But fat seemed just fine. You’re not reading my mind now, are you? Color me impressed. :)

Rush, like Beck, is an entertainer, a circus clown.

He doesn’t care about conservatives, or neo-conservatives, or Republicans. He cares about lining his pockets and ratings. Case closed. The more controversial he is, the more LIBERALS will listen, the same reason that people who hate Howard Stern know every single thing that comes out of his mouth to point to and hate.

They’re all shock jocks that have no desire to move the dialogue along, improve our country, come up with solutions, or care about you or me. Period, end of story.
