Political Discontent Radio

This week brought us the First Presidential Debate. While we thought we were going to hear some of Romney's famed ZINGERS, we instead got an immediate pledge to shut down Big Bird and Sesame Street when Romney promised to pull government funding for PBS. The result was immediate on twitter with a call to puppet arms for a Million Muppet March. We decided to give you this debate uninterrupted and in-full this time. Stay tuned, as we analyze the polls later in the week to see how this Sesame Street Showdown will affect the upcoming election.

It seems the Romney-Ryan honeymoon is all but over. Right now, Ryan is calling Romney "the stench", while the Romney camp is referring to Ryan as Gilligan. One thing is for sure, our little buddy, Bob Denver, is rolling in his grave. We have poll numbers from the famed Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight, that says Obama will receive 320 electoral votes, which makes this race all but over. With 40 days to go, it is going to be a long green mile for that Romney Camp.

This week we have the devastating notion that the Romney Campaign is unraveling at the seams. Between his foreign policy gaff that he had to release on the night of 9-11 and the video of his fundraiser where he shows nothing but contempt for his voting public, this man is toast. And if you tune in, you get to understand the new hashtag floating around now #go_buy_a_tv Oh Joy! This is Political Discontent Radio.

This week we are covering the Chicago Teacher's Union strike including all aspects affecting negotiations. We have reports from on the ground, as well as the details of what is holding up a contractual agreement. One thing is certain, collective bargaining is a beautiful thing.

This is the Barack Obama speech from the final night of the DNC. We let it play in its entirety, as we follow along. Inspiring is an understatement. Compared to what we heard a week earlier at the RNC, this is what a statesman sounds like. Tune in and join us, as we listen to this speech and know that this job is not yet done. It took 8 years to tear this country apart. Lets come together to take the full 8 years to put the pieces back together and make us stronger than when we started. This is Political Discontent Radio.

On Wednesday this week at the DNC, we were privileged to witness one of the most dynamic speeches in the past 20 years. Bill Clinton stepped on stage and captivated us with a policy speech that systematically dismembered the republicans fact-free attacks on Obama. This is something special, and 20 years from now, we will watch this speech again with the same awe and splendor that we experienced the first time we heard it.

This week we got together to play MST3000 with the Mitt Romney speech at the RNC in Tampa. Like a used car salesman, he got his chance to sell us on all his ideas. To our dismay, all he was missing was his ideas. This was the most charismatic we have ever seen him though, and he sounded more presidential than we ever expected.

We've been on the air for one full year, and every week it only get stranger. With one week before the RNC convention, republicans are now arguing over the proper definition of rape. Oh, aren't they just charming little creatures.

This week is a must hear, as we have a special call in interview from Wisconsin. Autumn joins the show deep from the trenches to Paul Ryan, Scott Walker territory to discuss just how toxic the general discourse has really gotten. Keep your hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times and lace up them shoes, this is Political Discontent Radio.

Rachel Allshiny joins Loren once again. This time we tear apart a news article to get to the truth behind sloppy and lazy journalism. Good news is, in key battleground states, Obama is decimating the competition when it comes to the womens vote. This is Political Discontent Radio.
