Chris Matthews "grateful" for Hurricane Sandy

[Carygrant]

Imagine how bad this would be thrown around by the media if it was a Republican who had said that.
The double standard here amazes me. This is his version of the infamous Todd Akin gaffe, except it gets no attention except from Fox and the Republicans...
This is the perfect example of why we are informed voters and why they are influenced idiots.

More balderdash

One of the more disgusting liberal mantras is to "vote your own self-interest." That's all Chris Mathews is doing or ever does. If it's good for him then screw everyone else.

"people" vote for various reasons and "self-interest" isn't a bad reason for voting for one's personal best interests

Of course that true, for liberals. Some people vote for their children's future and some for the welfare of the country. I realize that just doesn't "feel" right for liberals. "What's in it for me," is a perfectly valid way to select your candidate, for liberals.

You're kidding, right?

Would you vote against your self-interests?? Morons do that; uninformed or misinformed do that. But the informed voter knows what policies work to his best interests and which party promotes those policies, and normally, that voter will vote for that party. So i'm not sure what you find so disgusting about it. Actually, i think it's quite stupid to do otherwise.

Maybe you just misunderstand.

Liberals get away with saying the most despicable things. Wasn't Chris Mathews also the one that said he forgot Obama was black because he was speaking so eloquently?
