Let's be clear. According to the Republican platform, I agree with much of their ideology. However, it has become apparent to me that many of the more publicized voices that speak on the behalf of the party have ceased thinking completely and now only speak in 3 second sound bites that are vague and misleading propaganda to support some agenda that I believe they don't even fully understand themselves. They have turned into a party, not of thinkers or doers, but of repeaters. They seem to believe that if you repeat the same bullshit often enough, you can make any statement into a fact, regardless of how egregious it is.
Which brings me to my example for today. Here we have Kevin James, former assistant US Attorney turned radio talk show host. To me, it is scary that someone who talks in such vague and WRONG language was that high up on the food chain. Of course, I don't hear anything about him now that he is a radio show host, so he might not have the ears of many people (hopefully). God knows thought that there are enough empty headed people in this country that would grab ahold of something like this and take it to be gospel.

Honestly, this is the first time I have ever watched Chris Matthews but I am impressed. He handled himself very well, did not shout James down (like some other people) or completely ignore what he was saying. He addressed what he said, exposed the lie, and put his feet to the fire. We need more exposure in this country of empty-headed talking heads that are just marching to the beat of whatever drum they are told to march to without thinking about who is giving the order and what the order actually is.
Dangerous stuff people. You want to talk about Hitler!? ...don't get me started.
