Monday Night Video – The Ed Show on Romney v. Democracy in Ohio

August 6, 2012 by 5 Comments

Ohio Republicans, like Fox News, are vocal opponents of democracy when it means actual democracy (enabling people to vote) rather than their version of democracy (allowing rich white males to vote). Hence the conservatives’ attempts to suppress the vote, including a move to restrict in-person early voting.

Ed Schultz is joined by former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland to discuss how Mitt Romney is attempting to spin the Democrats’ lawsuit to restore these rights as an attack on patriotism, soldiers, and patriotic soldiering apple pies. Schultz starts off his report on the situation by saying…

SCHULTZ: Once again, Mitt Romney doesn’t have the facts.

…but I disagree. Romney has all the facts. He just don’t care.

Thursday Night Video – Ed Schultz Points Out How Reagan Was the Real Big Government Spender

March 15, 2012 by Leave a comment

The smart thing for governments to do in bad times is to spend more, to generate (yes) a stimulus effect on the economy when private companies are unable (or, in our current case, unwilling) to do so. Big Eddie points out that in previous recessions, such as the one faced by Ronald Reagan, Democrats and Republicans came together to do so. Now? Not so much. Government spending rose under President Reagan but has gone down under President Obama.
