Continue reading …There are two kinds of Republicans: hypocrites and honest hypocrites. There is one Republican value: winning. Values are something they use to win, but when they’re pushed to the wall, they abandon them all to the virtue of the win. Pat Robertson shows us how it’s done. Via RightWingWatch , a classic moment where Robertson quotes one of his favorite politicians, Lyndon Johnson: I believe it was Lyndon Johnson that said, ‘Don’t these people realize if they push me over to an extreme position I’ll lose the election? And I’m the one who will be supporting what they want but they’re going to make it so I can’t win.’ Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff. They’re forcing their leaders, the frontrunners, into positions that will mean they lose the general election. Now whether this did it to Cain I don’t know, but nevertheless, you appeal to the narrow base and they’ll applaud the daylights out of what you’re saying and then you hit the general election and they say ‘no way’ and then the Democrat, whoever it is, is going to just play these statements to the hilt. They’ve got to stop this! It’s just so counterproductive! This comes from the guy who says things like this : Robertson told viewers of “The 700 Club” on CBN that divorce would be OK in a situation that involves something as terrible as Alzheimer’s. “I know it sounds cruel but if he’s going to do something he should divorce her and start all over again,” he said, “[and] make sure she has custodial care and somebody looking after her.” If ever there was anyone who was forcing politicians into weird positions, it’s Robertson. He’s the guy who sends it out over the airwaves to grannies across the nation who are already scared out of their wits by the crazy email conspiracies they receive, courtesy of Liberty University and its friends. There’s a whole list here . Still, I give him credit for speaking the truth on some level. If you look past all the fluff, what he’s really saying is that these wingnuts are too vocal right now. He’s not against what they’re saying; he just wants them to quit saying it out loud so their frontrunner can lie enough to get elected. There you have it: right-wing values writ large in one short video clip.

Netflix has lost 800,000 subscribers in the last three months, according to numbers released as part of the company’s third quarter financial report on Thursday. The streaming-and-DVD site is down to 23.8 million users as of September 30, 2011, compared to 24.6 million users on June 30, 2011. The reason for the loss, per a letter to investors written by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells: Our primary issue is many of our long-term members felt shocked by the pricing changes, and more of them have expressed that by canceling Netflix than we expected. In June, Netflix announced the separation of its DVD and streaming services, which effectively made the cost of bundling the two together $16, a 60 percent increase from the previous price of $9.99. This price hike, and the seemingly callous way in which Netflix carried it out, caused an incredible subscriber backlash in the form thousands of comments on the Netflix blog and even more outraged tweets. The perception that Netflix was out-of-touch gained momentum in September when Netflix announced that DVDs would be available only on a separate website, called Qwikster; that the Twitter account @qwikster belonged to a foul-mouthed teenager did not help matters, and Netflix quickly reversed course and killed the Qwikster service before it even launched. Hastings and Wells analyze the saga briefly in the letter to investors: While we dramatically improved our $7.99 unlimited streaming service by embracing new platforms, simplifying our user-interface, and more than doubling domestic spending on streaming content over 2010, we greatly upset many domestic Netflix members with our significant DVD-related pricing changes, and to a lesser degree, with the proposed-and-now-cancelled rebranding of our DVD service. In doing so, we’ve hurt our hard-earned reputation and stalled our domestic growth. The devastating subscriber loss announcement comes on the same day that Netflix unveiled plans to open a website in the UK and Ireland, continuing an international rollout that began with Canada in 2010 and over 40 Latin American and Caribbean countries earlier in 2011. The letter to investors also cautioned that this rollout could push the company into the red briefly in the fourth quarter, as international losses could outpace domestic profits. Netflix stock is down to a price point of under 100 after hours; just before the price hike was announced, it sat at a 52-week high of about 324.
