Members s4001 Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Why anyone votes for incumbents is beyond me. That's what happens to someone when they stay in that corrupt echo chamber too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 That's frustrating to watch. I've actually known a guy who didn't pay income taxes. He's one of a group who believe that paying taxes is unconstitutional or something like that. So, they declare themselves corporations, don't pay taxes and spend a lot of time in court defending their right to keep their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Its a tough video to watch. I can see why Reid was trying to alter the framing of the discussion, after all, the interviewer clearly had an agenda and was trying to frame the discussion, himself. Still, a good politician should be aware of the agenda of an interviewer before going in, and they should be prepared for it. Reid wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ezstep Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Maybe he was referring to the Kennedy family. From what I have read and heard, he rarely paid taxes of any sort - income, property, etc. In fact, he [Ted Kennedy] established that he lived in FLORIDA, not Massachusetts, so his family could inherit his estate at Florida rates rather than at Massachusetts rates.

Members King Kashue Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Its a tough video to watch.

Still, a good politician should be aware of the agenda of an interviewer before going in, and they should be prepared for it. Reid wasn't. It wasn't a "discussion", it was an interview. The interviewer asked a question, Reid attempted to answer a different question, and in the process managed to make a statement that is ridiculous on its face. Rather than attempt to correct his statement, he made increasingly ridiculous and irrelevant statements in an attempt to substantiate a statement he should have recognized as false the moment he said it... This wasn't a discussion between two politicians, where they're each trying to make points, it's an interview where one person asks questions and the other is supposed to answer them.

Members bbl Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I thought the liberal media didn't have an agenda against Democrats. Reid was totally setup and blindsided! They were just having a casual conversation about their kids, then, WHAM! This guys gets all confrontational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't suppose something devious like an interview-ambush ever happened to, oh, I dunno, George W. Bush or Sarah Palin, do you? If the Cap and Trade had passed under Bush, the media would still be screaming about it. Sure, media bias is alive and well on both sides. Otherwise, why would so many people gripe about Fox news and not about CBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
