Mitt Romney: 'Big Bird is going to have advertisements, all right?' - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Shibbey;33951195][img]http://saptapper.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/big-bird-396.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Yep. That's Big Bird.

It's funny because Mitt Romney claims to come out of the private sector but what has he actually done? Some shit in financial services?

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;33947823]Desperate times call for desperate measures. I don't like borrowing money from China so, as Paul says, Big Bird can have no ads.[/QUOTE] You do know there was an article on facepuch not too long ago that most of the debt is held by United States citizens, right?

Fuck Mitt Romney. How anyone can say that the NEA or NPR/PBS should be cut to save money when their total budgets don't even equate to one percent of the defense budget. The stupidity is astounding.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;33950009]He just wants to axe NPR and PBS because they do a great job of informing voters. And informed voters don't vote Republican.[/QUOTE] Goodness what a conspiracy theory. I swear you guys are worse than the guys who think SOPA (awful as it is) is explicitly formed to shut down the Web. [I]ALTERNATIVELY,[/I] perhaps we're in deep shit and we're trying to find a way out of it.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;33953034]Goodness what a conspiracy theory.[/QUOTE] If some guy on a forum can think of it, then corporate think tanks can think of it. Is it really that far-fetched to think that removing one of the last bastions of non-corporate media might be in the best interests of Capital?

I mean, you're going to claim this is an academic conspiracy and the universities in this country must be full of socialist hippies ruining our children, but...evidence leans towards the better educated voting left, yes.

I'm sure that data is true, and the facts behind it are true. I'll claim no conspiracy. What I dislike is the earlier poster's portrayal of Romney as a man so nefarious that he wants people uneducated so they'll vote for him. THAT's practically a conspiracy theory.

If public broadcasting is funded by private companies, what makes it public... ?

That's a source not even a mother could love.

What about BBC America? That's publicly funded, by a different government!

I'm a sesame street kid, and partially because of that I'm smart enough to never consider voting for this idiot

What do these idiots not realize?

[QUOTE=Mingebox;33955057]Ugly? That's a source not even a mother could love.[/QUOTE] [url=http://progressivepolicy.org/more-college-graduates-more-democratic-voters]Here's a better one[/url]. Yes, it's called "progressive policy" but their data comes from a gallup poll.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;33950009]He just wants to axe NPR and PBS because they do a great job of informing voters. And informed voters don't vote Republican.[/QUOTE] that's a dangerous gamble If the Republicans want to cut their funding who do you think they're going to support?
