While I enjoy the show despite the fact that I sometimes disagree with the host and the panel, people on the panel sometimes get under my skin. Case and point, Richard Belzer. I encourage people to voice there opinions, but I'm curious as to why someone not qualified to be a pundit is so loud and obnoxious. And why is the audience filled with such sheeple to encourage people like him?

Let's talk about the post election coverage when the black or mixed race or woman ISN'T elected. I just get so tired of Edwards and all the other candidates were completely marginalized. Why is it that even on your show everyone is terrified to discuss how the media controlled who the candidates would be since mid-summer of 2007?

In movies, we see the violence secret groups such as the CIA and Mossad cause behind the scenes for certain interests. In the real world, dont you think Bill that they have anything to do with some of the violence in Iraq?

PLease inform people that the lies that go us into Iraq are THE ISSUE!!!!
Bill, the country comes down to two types of people, those who like the pre-Bush America, and those who prefer the Post-Bush America.(Constitutionsists, and Anti-Constitutionists)
How would you like the Democratic Presidential candidate to "manage" the middle east? Does Israel get a blank check?
Thanks,
You da Bomb!

Why are you surprised about polls showing the racial breakdown in SC's Democratic Primary? After the abandonment of the black voters in Florida's 2000 Presidential election I could see very little difference between the Democrats and Republicans in the U. S. Senate. So you tell me: If you were an African-American today, who would you favor or prefer in this election?

I blame Iraq fatigue, Democrats wimping out on investigating the false case for war, wire tapping, etc. on the media. Why isn't the main stream media covering this? I am sure the topics are covered somewhere in NY Times, New Yorker or other papers and magazines but I would guess that a large percentage of Americans get their news from world network news.
I don't care about Britney's Paparazzi love interest, phone calls to Mary-Kate prior to making the 911 call regarding Heath Ledger's passing, etc.

Hi all,
I would love to have this question answered. In school, I remember the discussions of War and the economy. And historically, war seemed to be good for the economy particularly in terms of jobs in the defense industry. I have not heard of the creation of new jobs in light of th billions of dollars being spent on this war. With the global ramifications of a weakened US economy- where are all the jobs?

I've seen
too many times
Democrats argue and then
all the scared, sheepy people actually show up to vote
and send a stiff, jerk like McCain in to the seat
even if he runs a total DORK as a VP.
People need to be realistic, do you agree?

My question is why is it that whenever a candidate cannot answer a question, people yell at the press to stop asking? This was done with George Bush in 2000. He was asked all kinds of nut & bolt questions about his proposed policies; when he could not answer, the American people yelled at the press to stop asking because Bush didn't know. I thought that was exactly what made the idiot unfit to be President. The problem continues.
Whenever Barack Obama is asked specifically, exactly how he would unite the nation, he cannot answer in a detailed fashion. Yet the press is exhorted to give him a pass. In addition, each Democratic candidate talks about bringing about change but cannot explain exactly what they would change or how.Why does this phenomena of letting politicians off-the-hook continue when it robs us of the ability to gauge a candidates abilities to be President? Also, why should we elect Obama just because he is African-American, and just because it would make people look at the U.S differently. Isn't that the kind of superficial bull that this country needs to get away from?

Bill -
What do you think it will take to make the county wake up and pay attention to the war in Iraq again?
Do you think that our attention is intentionally being diverted because of the election?
