      As usual, a right wing jerk who doesn't want to to hear anything but what he wants to hear.
      Jerks, all of them.

      You are NEVER going to win this argument with Moore, Mr. Club for Growth.

      Moore and his organization are the poster boys for no-tax no-govt no-medicare no-social security, so on & so on ...

      Based on their resumes this is a battle between a highly educated adult (Mr Reich) and a blathering idiot (Moore). I'll go with Reich on this.

      I know Kudlow's frequently criticized here, and not without cause, but I like Larry, I like how he stays friendly with his frequent liberal panelists and I really wish he'd see his potential to fill the vacuum as a thoughtful conservative leader and stop following all the talking points handed down from Rush and company earlier in the day. Just to give one quick example of what I'm talking about, I heard Larry say a few weeks ago that Republicans will never get another chance to preside over a real economic recovery as long as they hold on to a xenophobic view of immigration. Certainly he should agree that the not-infrequent race-baiting isn't helping movement conservatives, either. He could make the difference for those guys at Little Green Footballs who've felt alienated by their peers in the past year or so.

      People put in new windows to cut heating cost but the windows are not free, health reform is the same thing, we can pay it now or we can pay it later at a higher cost.

      reich is a moron. first of all, preventative care INCREASES costs in the long run; that's not to say we shouldn't do it but it doesn't reduce costs. second of all, providing universal health care will lead to greatly increased demand...it's just a fact. like the saying goes: "if you think healthcare is expensive now, wait til it's free".

      Moore knows his role as FOX's WSJ guy, he is the face of business for people who don't read.
