Bill Maher: "Independents Schizophrenic"
I just finished watching Friday's edition of Real Time with Bill Maher, where Billy is presenting the thesis that independents voted Republican because Obama was not left wing enough. He thinks that the issue that cost Obama the most votes was his failure to stick to the "public option" in his healthcare bill. In his monologue he called independents schizophrenic, like that is going to help Democrats in 2012...insult the swing voters and hope they vote for you next time. As I've said before, there are some pundits who are only effective at what they do when the people they don't like are the government. Maher loses an edge when he is trying to defend a President that he supported, but insulting the people who you need to vote for your guy in two years is not a smart move.

Bill Maher is a self confessed libertarian but he supports the Democrats.
ReplyDeleteA libertarian who supports statists is not a libertarian.
He's a leftist.
Libertarians are not leftists.
You can't support statists on the basis of thinking that a President getting caught in a lie about a blow job is a 'relax guys' moment.
If Maher is a libertarian I'm the most charming person of all time. He used to espouse libertarian values now it's government involvement all the time.
