With a viewership numbering in the hundreds, MSNBC may not actually qualify as "national TV", but it still catches an occasional nugget.

On MSNBC last night, host Chris Matthews had a telling interview with Kirk Watson, a state senator from Texas who is a strong Obama supporter. It's worth actually watching the video, which is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGeu_4Ekx-o , but here's a partial transcript, provided by National Review's Kathryn Lopez http://corner.nationalreview.com/pos...A3NjE4ZjU1ZGY= :
*** QUOTE ***
Matthews: "You are a big Barack supporter, right, Senator?"
Watson: "I am. Yes, I am."
Matthews: "Well, name some of his legislative accomplishments. No, Senator, I want you to name some of Barack Obama's legislative accomplishments tonight if you can."
Watson: "Well, you know, what I will talk about is more about what he is offering the American people right now."
Matthews: "No. No. What has he accomplished, sir? You say you support him. Sir, you have to give me his accomplishments. You've supported him for president. You are on national television. Name his legislative accomplishments, Barack Obama, sir."
Watson: "Well, I'm not going to be able to name you specific items of legislative accomplishments."
Matthews: "Can you name any? Can you name anything he's accomplished as a congressman?"
Watson: "No, I'm not going to be able to do that tonight."
Matthews: "Well, that is a problem isn't it?"

The Constitution isn't perfect, but it's better than the system we're using now.
LOL.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Ok real quick all you Reagan nuts, name me the top 5 things he did prior to becoming president of the United States in 1980. Hint, one of them was making abortion EASIER in California.
LOL. I saw your list in the what America means to you, you can't even dwell on a positive if you were paid to do it. If your dreams and hopes were to come to fruition I fear we'd be in a living nightmare.
For the record, hope can sometimes be a trap, and sometimes dreams are just dreams. It is action that actually takes you somewhere. Goals, not dreams, that will make something happen.
