I wonder if anyone noticed the republicans broke their pledge to "get right to it," by balancing the budget. Hell, even their most optomistic projections add trillions to the debt in more tax cuts and bloated defense budgets.
Let this be a lesson to you "TEA partiers," only so-called independents could be so silly to vote in the same guys who brought us the Reagan & Bush deficits, and think things would be different.
John Bohner's big idea is to raise the retirement age of Social Security. He wants to raise the debt ceiling. Cut back on unemployment for Americans but no one better touch Israel's money or the free military goodies they get.
Meet the Liberal Press is wonderful because is shows all sides......It shows the left side, the far left side, the very far left, and of course Rachel MadCow's view. Then they sit back and rub their bellies like they just saved civilization lol.....
all the arguing on this is pretty pointless, people dont listen to each other on the internet, and calling each other names and proclaming that everything you say is as absolute truth is absurd. i am getting tired of hearing both republicans and democrats doing this.
"We need to live within our own means?" WHAT THE FKKK? The eight years of G W Bush had the largest budget deficits EVER in American history!!!!!!! Are the GOP in denial?
@bsphenom You're RIGHT though about the endless wars against non-enemies though (which Obama and Clinton) also both participated in. Faux News is great at scaring people with lies. The Military Industrial Complex Eisenhower warned us about now runs America through bribes, lobbyists, and corporatism. BOTH the Left and Right are party to the treason that betrays America every day we are in unjust wars that strengthen the resolve of people who hate us. Watch this! Ron Paul - Eisenhower warned us!
@bsphenom Actually the economic collapse was caused by Dems FORCING mortgage companies to put people in houses who couldn't afford them. Watch, "Burning down the house. What caused the economic collapse".
BTW No republican today is remotely Libertarian except Ron Paul (who SHOULD have been voted in as President). ONLY he would have TRULY cut spending to balance the budget. ALL other Reps are lying NEO-CONS little different than Dems. BOTH sides now want to tax and spend and make us ALL poor.
One should ask the common Iraqui..."Are you better off today than you were 10 years ago?" I would ask the average American "Do you feel you are better off financially and that the government is in as good a shape as it was 10 years ago."
Rofl....you are absolutely correct about your facts about the chemical weapons in Iraq. But you didn't comment about the 110 other intel agencies who felt WMD was there. I know,I know...this will lead to Bush lied and Chaney and the hole broken record. And Obama is doing a great job cleaning up the mess...etc. Ho hum I guess only liberals have the answers.
I actually do watch Fox on a regular basis and I can tell you that they make an active effort to deceive the people watching. Viewers of Fox were far more likely to believe that we found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Again, Financial viability does not serve as a barometer to determine the integrity of a news outlet.
Lastly, I do not believe you when you say you look at other news. If you did you would not have used that argument that other media is just as biased.
@RoflDopolus Oh golly ...being pidgeonholed again. Sweeping generalizations. Oh and what about the 110 intelligence agencies that thought WMD was there...England, France, etc. Don't forget that saddam gassed his own people....that's not WMD?
@silverthundrwlf You are trying to throw ink in the water. We do know that Saddam had chemical weapons at one point. This is because the United States sold him those weapons. We also knew that those weapons were long sense expired. Chemical and biological agents are not stable and even when stored in perfect conditions most (the one we sold him) will break down in less than a decade. So all of those weapons were inert, we never found any, or any means of producing new agents.
@RoflDopolus So I guess Fox is a right wing plot to take over the gov't right ?...purposefully deceiving people. Get a grip. But go ahead and think KeithO is the end all of truth and honesty.
@silverthundrwlf As far as the comment to tooltalk. If you simply come to the forum and spout off a talking point that Hannity and Beck were using less than 48 hours ago with no new information you are wasting peoples time.
@silverthundrwlf Yeah, all that screaming and bad attitudes don't really help anything. Everybody sees the world through their own eyes. If a real common enemy suddenly appeared, we would band together like family to fight back.
@silverthundrwlf I listen, but nobody is saying anything. They obfuscate and ramble and take off on tangents that are not germane so often that it is ludicrous. What are repubs hiding? There are so many obvious problems that need to be dealt with, like two fucking wars we don't need and that benefit only big industries and undertakers. Talking in circles accomplishes nothing.
@tooltalk to be fair, most senators do not know how the bills they pass work. They do not sit and read 500 pages legislation; if anything their aids do. This was actually far more of an issue during the Bush and Reagan administrations where the legislative branch served more as a rubber stamp than as the second branch of government.
Your talking point sounds good if you do not know how government actually works. However, I think there in lies the problem.
@RoflDopolus : that's rather a sad comment. You don't elect someone to the public office so that they can delegate the law-making responsibilities to some Ivy-trained technocrats or professional reformers (or, worse, corporate special interest, unions, etc). The system has been running like this for a quite some time, but it's no excuse for perpetuating it.
Of course, Bush wasn't the only one, you libtards make a big deal out of only when the other party is doing it, in the same way that
@tooltalk regardless of how you feel, that is the way it works at this point. Legislation is so complex and the demands upon legislative branch are significant that senators do not sit down to grind through a 500 page bill that is always changing. This is a problem on both sides of the isle and it is just the way our government works at this point. How is electing the GOP into power going to change when they do the exact same thing and will continue to do this after they regain power?
@RoflDopolus : you libtards viciously attacked the prez for his war in Iraq / Afghan, only to play dead when Obama is doing the same thing.
Now, going back to passing convoluted legislation politicians themselves don't understand, you need to look no further than the misguided "liberal revolution" of the 60's by LBJ (social engineering justified by the Great Society) when so-called liberal intellectuals, aides to influential liberal politicians ran the show and crippled the nation's wealth &
@tooltalk Wow, almost a whole week. Pro-tip: If you can come up with your own thoughts you will be lighter on your toes in these types of arguments. Waiting for Hannity and Beck to give another talking point is always going to leave you at a disadvantage.
To set the record straight most liberals are upset with the president because we are still in Afghanistan and we do not think Obama is perfect. He just happens to be the better of two options.
@tooltalk Questioning Bush and the reasons why we invaded Iraq and being proven right is nothing close to a vicious attack. If you think so you prove your ignorance.
@Scipio2021 : oh boy, another self-righteous libtard. No, honey, I'm not a fan of Bush; but If Bush's policies were so bad and warranted criticism, where is liberals criticism of Obama perpetuating the same wars (or even escalate) in Afghan and Iraq? or renewal of the Patriotic Act?
Of course, if the war had been liberal's war, eg, Vietnam or Serbia, there would been deafening silence or attack on those who criticize, as was the case with MLK and his Call to Conscious speech.
@Scipio2021 : eh? You are not making much of an argument, other than vaguely saying "countless liberals", who are now in extreme minority, are for a quick Afghan withdraw. I don't watch TV, but listens to NPR quite a bit, so I am all too familiar with sudden changes in liberal's anti-war rhetorics since Obama's election.
But this is not all too surprising since most of liberals are mere partisan hacks who have no problem turning a blind eye to their guy's transgression (eg, Serbia).
@tooltalk Also if you were here for an honest debate, you would admit that those pro war supporters who attacked the patriotism of those opposed the war were as wrong as can be.
You're just a partisan hack if you deny it, or try to change the subject.
Throwing Bush under the bus when it's safe to do so doesn't lead me to wonder if you're just a hack that will refuse to listen to anyone who does not agree with you.
@Scipio2021 : You are lying if you claim that most liberals aren't blinded by their party demagoguery or favoritism. That was exactly the case with Clinton's Serbia invasion (when most liberal legal scholars refused to question/criticize Clinton's executive overreach; then cry afoul when the same question of executive privilege arose again during Bush's wars) or MLK during LBJ's war in Vietnam, which prompted him to make "Call to Conscious" speech (in return, he was immediately attacked by his
@tooltalk Personally I was against Serbia, however Clinton didn't once say Serbia was in defense of America, unlike Bush did with Iraq, so your point there is invalid.
And look at the cost comparison of the 2 wars.
I agree that often that Dems are on the pro war side and wrong, however the only valid point made is to vote 3rd party or Dems clean house of DINOS like those, not vote Republican unless Ron Paul is living in your district.
@Scipio2021 : eh? I find this discussion quite frustrating. I couldn't care less about your pathetic relative morality, double-standard, but let's analyze your sad broken liberal logic : so if it's so bad to abuse "national security" threat to start wars, why is Clinton's Serbia, based on false threat of "genocide" more acceptable? Against a country in which US has no interest or past infraction or pose any threat to US's national security, acceptable? In your sad irrelevant opinion, do you
@tooltalk How can anyone take you seriously when you defend Slobodan Milošević and make the outrageous claim that he's not a war criminal? Do you deny the holocaust as well?
The scale of negative impact of anything Clinton did in Serbia is microscopic compared to Bush in Iraq. Pretending to be ignorant of this will only make you look like a jackass once again.
@Scipio2021 : eh? logical 101. False dichotomy. tsk, tsk, your reasoning ability is... slightly a couple of notches below that of Bush's. So following your poor reasoning, I guess Bush did the right thing after all since Hussein's gasing of hundreds of thousands Kurds were clearly far inhumane than that of Milosevic? Do you want to go by dead head counts? Your sad last statement is revealing your true color and why modern liberalism fails. (or that you are not just too bright).
@tooltalk I'm against both wars because neither of them were for defending America.
Clinton never said Serbia was a threat to the US, Bush said Iraq was. If you want to remain ignorant of this huge difference, fine, you're only proving yourself to be ignorant. Continue to remain that way.
And how can I take you seriously if you're too afraid to admit you're a Republican? Are you that ashamed of your party? If I'm wrong, then what party do you belong to?
@Scipio2021 : think Hitler's taking over of Sudetland lesser offensive, b/c it didn't involve any direct threat, ie "land invasion", from Czechs?
And are you saying that Bush would be lesser evil if the war in Iraq had cost less, say Truman's Korean war or LBJ's war in Vietnam? How about all the servicemen died? In Korean war, only 30+K died, 60+K for Vietnam (two other undeclared wars). Hey, Bush doesn't look so bad now, does he?
Of course, liberals going as far back as FDRs years have been
@Scipio2021 : it's mostly liberals. As I said earlier, it's neocons (aka, far-left cold-war liberals, once influential lefty intellectuals under JFK, LBJ) that dominate the repub party politics today. They often use the same broken logics (bifurcation, big lies, propaganda) to rile up emotion and build support for their wars and bigger gov't (remember war is the health of the state); be it war on terror, war on poverty, etc, etc. We just need to eliminate those liberal elements out.
@tooltalk Then you help me make a great case on why we need to vote the GOP out of existence, since this liberal Neocon element is almost the entire party.
When 98% of the barrel is full of rotten apples, you throw away the whole barrel and start with something new.
And the GOP has done nothing to fight this Neocon element from within, thus proving my point that much more.
@Scipio2021 : still don't get it do you? The goal isn't to vote the GOP out of existence - our short-term goal is to eliminate neocons, aka liberals, so that we could eliminate the democrats completely out of existence
@tooltalk you're light years off base again. If the Iraq war was so right, you would have an indisputable reason why instead of changing the subject to Bosnia, as well as trying to deny that Slobodovan was a war criminal.
And you prove that the fringe right is even worse than what I said if they can be duped by Hillary's people from the left.
You saying this is above my head is like saying the Raiders won the last super bowl both are 100% false. But live in your fantasy world.
@tooltalk And if the GOP Neocons are secret liberals, that also would mean that every right wing mouthpiece, Rush, Beck, Hannity, O'riley, and many others have no credibility at all since they've been duped by this liberal element in their ranks for so long.
@Scipio2021 : always for more gov't intervention in foreign affairs as well as military build up, even anti-war liberals often in favoring military buildup's (in a misguided belief that any form increase in aggregated gov't spending is good for economy; eg, the WW2) - which continued until Clinton years, when the privatization of military started in earnest (also without any protest from liberals). It should be likewise no surprise that neocons were far-left liberal democrats
@Scipio2021 : influential liberals democrats who switched political party (from dem to repub) during Reagan years.
Now, you are yet to provide any evidence that liberals are in fact against the wars in Iraq or Afghan. I mean I could count Greenwald and, perhaps, Naomi Wolf among those who consistently speaking out against them, but they are rarity, not the norm. Most, like you, now dwell on technicality and are critical of the mis-managment of the wars, or even support them as it's necessary.
@Scipio2021 : *former* liberal allies and the media for questioning their great leader's misadventure in Indochina - so much for their pretense of egalitarian & peace ideals).
Who's questioning the war propagandas employed by Bush? I'm questioning liberals' not-so-sincere-or-principled criticism of the wars and their sudden conspicuous silence (less-than-genuine lip service) on Obama's continuation of the war.
@tooltalk Ok so we both agree that Bush's war propaganda was wrong since you don't question it. Nice to agree on something.
And since you're not a mind reader, there's no way you can make the case that 30% of the country that was against the war from the start, not out of concern for the lives of US soldiers or the cost, or impact of war, but for some secret liberal agenda.
@tooltalk countless progressives are against the Afghan war.
How can you even try to debate this topic when you prove to be so ignorant of the fact that countless progressives are for a withdraw from Afghanistan?
You did prove one thing however, that the "liberal media" is a huge myth because if it was liberal you would have easily known this information.
@RHODOAN You are young and obviously very liberal. I'm not going to participate in a spitting contest. I suggest you look carefully into the consequences of spending your way out of a recession and a multi-trillion dollar deficit. I pity you, your children and your grandchildren!
@silverthundrwlf Not so young at 61 and a father and grandfather who is very concerned about the future. Repubs have always been ruled by big business and will never understand that greed rules big business. You cannot put the fox in the henhouse and expect to have chicken dinner. I agree that a spitting contest is futile and I am too tired to do that anyway. I will be dead before things get really bad, so my concern is not for myself at all, but for everyone else.
That is very true. But Fox is not news, fox is an opinion network that actively seeks to misinform the public at the behest of the conservative movement and those businesses that support it.
There is no real fact finding or meaning full analysis of information. It simply leverages small pieces of data to support its agenda. This affirmation seeking approach to news is the very definition of yellow journalism.
@RoflDopolus Man you really have the blinders on my friend. I watch all the networks on a regular basis. And the other networks aren't "opinion" networks? What a joke!!! BTW...the New York Times is on the brink of being bankrupt!! I challenge you to watch Fox on a regular basis for a month and then tell me they are FIX news like my buddy KeithO likes to call them.
@silverthundrwlf to continue, ratings are not the issue here either. The issue is accuracy and integrity within the media. The NY times, which is considered a "liberal rag" by most conservatives has published many articles criticizing Obama for various policy issues and for his response to the Oil Spill and other issues.
You would not know this because you only look at one news source because it tells you what you want to hear. That is more your problem than mine.
I thought about voting for the GOP but they have NO SPECIFICS. And now they are trying to withhold unemployment benefits for the unemployed? What planet do the republicans live on? They are not the GOP of 25 years ago.
Now see there silverthundrwlf, that is a common misconception. The press is, in fact, not liberal at all. The right uses this excuse to justify their own brand of yellow journalism.
Republican's claim that the media has a liberal bias every time the media criticizes conservative policy. This is not an example of liberal media, this is an example of someone asking for a real answer to real question. The truth is, Republicans do not know what they will cut. They just want the power back.
@RoflDopolus I agree. Questioning of liberal policy is the real problem. I just have always felt the networks go along with a democratic administration for the most part. When the Republicans get in power their hair goes aflame. That is until Fox News came along....they at least always have a 2 way discussion. I know you won't go along with that but the ratings don't lie. Fox is kicking their collective butts and they are feeling it bigtime.
Good to know who your friends are and who your enemies are. Friends are those who promulgate truth, enemies those who deal in falshood. This is a HUGE falsehood. Nice to know.Forewarned is forearmed.
Interesting information here...For your viewers- Investment strategies will be important to protect what wealth you have- check out "Industry Watch" hosted by Al Korelin on the Evenkeelmedia channel for expert ideas on safe havens for your assets
Republicans aren't really concerned about deficit spending; that's just more empty rhetoric from the Ronald Reagan playbook. If they were, they wouldn't be pushing for millionaire tax breaks and filibustering to defend defense department boondoggles (like Richard Shelby).
Looking for a place to cut wasteful spending? Start with the billions upon billions of federal dollars financing ineffective and redundant intelligence programs, as documented by Dana Priest in this week's Washington Post.
@AboveAllNations republicans have become a straw man. It is the independent voters you should concern yourself with this time around. Those of us who pick our candidates based on the issues of the day. Repubulicans already in office, and democrats in office now, are the target for this November. They were all there when this crap came down, and none were effective at preventing it.
The first thing the Republicans do is unleash Darrel Issa on the Corruptocrats with an Uzi full of subpoenas. At least, that's what's keeping them up at night these days.
As a conservative I do not mind the criticism Pete Sessions is getting. If Republicans are not willing to be specific in their beliefs its only right for the media to hold their feet to the fire. The way he spoke in this video shows that he's out of touch, speaking in vague campaign-like rhetoric because he's too afraid of saying something wrong rather than saying what he believes right. He should have said "Hell yes we're going to repeal the health care bill, that financial mess too."
We are using the internet to investigate our reps and find out where they stand on the issues. The silent majority will be out there Voting in November. Go to YOU CUT Eric Cantor and vote on how to cut Big Government wasteful programs also tell the republican where you would cut spending. Like no more corporate welfare giving our money to big companies to develop and market products when that is what they do anyway. No more huge farm subsidies to big corporate farms getting paid to not farm.
The Republican party and the Democrat party are really just one sales team for the unconstitutional, inherently fraudulent, privately owned central bank.
Think about it. Who has more control over society? A politician trying to sell a "govt" project OR a unelected central banker that decides whether to finance the "govt" project into existence?
Ron Paul is the only Republican I would vote for because he really is a Conservative that wants to conserve the constitution.
@dlucas90 Of the 534 there are only 13 I'd re-elect the rest need to be fired. Ron Paul is the most honest politician out there. I would re-elect him.
How about we end the federal reserve and then we don't have to pay interest on our debt to elite banking families like the Rothchilds. Then we won't have wars of offense, a war on drugs, the welfare state, and corporatism. But then we couldn't have a world government that enslaves everybody.
More from the racist progressive libtard media circus clowns. Just propaganda crap that the weak minded of YT follows. Too bad most YouTubers either can't or don't vote !
Too bad that so many Americans are being fooled by the Republican propaganda stoked by totally nonsensical and disruptive ideas and attitudes.
The rest of us need to quickly wake up and actively make our disenchantment with the Republicans behavior heard loudly and clear soon .... or we will regret it !!!!
@MudScarf Well, it would be nice to think that however not one republican can articulate any of their claims. I won't vote for anyone who can't address an issue without specifics and the republicans can't do that.
Jesse Ventura said it best, "Republicans spend just like Democrats do...the only difference between the two parties is Democrats spend by cash & carry, Republicans spend by paying on credit".
@armonocracy Actually both parties spend on credit. Clinton only balanced the fiscal budget because of Newt and a Republican Congress. But we still had a federal deficit. Obama has spent 4 times in 18 months what Bush spent in 8 years. If we want to lay blame we are all are to blame by electing the same sleazy politicians for the past 30 years. All of us have been living to much on credit. The American people understand but Congress didn't get the memo. Its time to fire 95% of them.
"Same exact agenda [as under Bush]." Which got us into the worst recession since the depression!
What a flipping idiot.
Republicans have always had simply ONE IDEA and that's to give the richest pple tax breaks. It has always been the same stupid idea. It has NEVER WORKED.
Didn't work under Reagan, didn't work under Bush Sr, and didn't work under GW Bush.
Republicans are good when it comes to complaining and pointing out flaws, but not when they need to participate in any sort of productive reform. They lack the ideas and the will to act on anything.
The TOXIC dumbing down of the conservative movement (1950s to present): Buckley / Goldwater **Liberals & moderates pass Civil Rights Act.** Nixon's Secret Plan & Southern Strategy Reagan - Corporatism & MASSIVE DEBT Religious right hijacks Jesus. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Family values hypocrisy Fox "News" Bush/Cheney/Rove Flag pin "patriotism" Palin & "Drill, baby, drill!" Birthers Beck Neo-Confederates hijack GOP (GOBP) Tea Party. The abyss? Conservatives, you are HERE.
You people keep me in constant disbelief. Both of these parties no longer respond to anything but legislation or the threat of legistaion that has the greatest potential to draw out campaign funding. They will say what they can to try and sell you that their actions are looking out for you. It never ends up that way. NEVER!. Yet you fools loyally back one or the other.
Usual Republican poppycock....what he needs to say is we are the party of the entrenched wealthy elite who seek to re establish welfare for the wealthy and our corporate bennifactors....we have no spine...we are generally of low or lacking intelligence...we don't care about anyone except those who subscribe to our Darwinian view of the world....the rest of you can just starve to death...
u really stand with American public?! than Answer the damn question u hypocrite public enemy number one republicans!
they answer everything with "we stand with American people" while publicly admitting that they stand with corps and oil businessmen, and stop/defend every piece of legislation that meant to help an average American?
answer the damn question! oh wait! they're too dumb to think of a single answer that favors the average American LOL!
@TAMARLANE You need to look at the budget you would have to axe all military spending to balence the budget. Republicans need to say they will raise taxes to be taken seriously.
@zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1 It would be a mistake to reduce our military budget. To reduce our entelement budget is all that is left. Repeal this stupid health care bill. Repeal all the expansion of government spending aside from military. Cut the wages of all government employees by 10% across the board. Quit raising taxes. Quit damaging small business enterprise. Stop with the lies.
@TAMARLANE American federal government spends almost nothing on education and has relitivly few employees compared with spending. Unless your willing to have the elderly die on the street from lack of medical care your plan won't work.
@zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1 I am willing to return to traditional values where families, friends and neighbors take care of their own.One size fits all inefficient government laundering of our tax money is NOT the answer.
@1Makyo Most families and neighbors don't have the resourses to actually help each other. The poor will have the most trouble and be unable to fend for themselves. If the poor die of untreated diabetes who is going to make your happy meal?
@zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1 I beg to differ. My family and friends and neighbors are well equipped to help each other for awhile . The poor disorganized will be fucked first.
Even if he said something as generic as "Spend less than you take in", I could live with that. But its like these guys only live on talking points and buzz words without any real idea what the hell they actually mean.
You betray your complete lack of knowledge of American politics and the Democratic party when you refer to it as socialism. Save your comments for Fox News where you fit in.
i can't believe my ears! gregory has the balls to tell one of his political friends they aren't giving him answers. why is that, what's wrong with him, doesn't he care he might not get invited to one of their parties or have them accept his invitation to his program?
gregory is typical of what's wrong with the so called "liberal media". he hasn't previously had the balls to tell a politician he is bullshitting, wrong or downright lying. he's been more interested in being a washington insider.
GOP is kinda racist, it relies mostly on white voters and with the white population on the decline in the USA, it will have a harder time getting elected in the future.
Sessions kept saying "Let get right to it." and then say the same thing he said before. The GOP's got nothing. No ideas. No tough choices. Just the same run-of-the-mill conservative platitudes without any specifics. Maybe that's good enough for the Tea Party members but that is not good enough for people who are unemployed and demanding their politicians to get the economy going again.
Platitudes, platitudes, platitudes. GOP has NO plan. They have done NOTHING since Obama was elected except complain, moan, whine, fear monger and announce bravely into any camera that they will obstruct ANYTHING the Dems want to accomplish....and that's exactly what they've done. They are collecting taxpayer money, lobbyist money, special interest money, living the high life and not doing what they were elected to do. GOP is dead.
Seems oddly similar to Mayor Adam West on Family Guy:
-Mayor West, if reelected, would you increase the frequency of garbage pickup?
-Well, citizen, that's an excellent question and I thank you for it. I think it's great we live in a town where you can ask questions. Because without questions, we'd just have answers. And an answer without a question is a statement.
The GOP is a dying party. They still cling to proven failed ideas, they're whores to the top 1% of America and ignore the real issues affecting the average American. They're corrupted beyond repair and it's time that we the people vote them out of existence.
They're very much like the old communist party of the USSR that collapsed under their own weight.
Bush didn't put the cost of his two wars or his tax cuts into the budget. Let's get right down to it, the GOP are liars who are in the pocket of BigCorpElite and will make the rich richer if given a majority in D.C. again.
Until the GOP gets rid of right wing versions of big government like the drug war and wasteful military spending, they will have done nothing to prove they're for small government. Whining about deficit spending starting the same day Obama got elected is just an act.
@tejaspics It IS funny and does sound like Sarah the sock puppet... The biggest difference is this nitwit and other do-nothing, just say "no" Repubs are elected to office and are supposed to be doing the peoples business. Repubs have done nothing at all in the last year and a half....and, during the Bush years, they took the money and ran with it, spendinig it like it was their own...and letting the criminal Bush Admin get away with murder. GOP is worthless....
@tejaspics Oh I see Sarah is the only one capable of saying Republican lines and being genuine. She says nothing and knows nothing, that's "real american" or as nietzsche would say slave morality.
@the82spartans He's another one who yammers on and on about what "should" be done....without ever saying HOW it would be done.
He's too old anyway. Trust me on this. I'm a vigorous, intelligent 69 year old woman, healthy as a horse and active.....and I wouldn't fit for the office. Besides, all you have to do to know Paul is listen to his hairbrained son Rand...THAT's Ron Paul, his ideas, his ideology.
I wonder if anyone noticed the republicans broke their pledge to "get right to it," by balancing the budget. Hell, even their most optomistic projections add trillions to the debt in more tax cuts and bloated defense budgets.
Let this be a lesson to you "TEA partiers," only so-called independents could be so silly to vote in the same guys who brought us the Reagan & Bush deficits, and think things would be different.

The Military Industrial Complex Eisenhower warned us about now runs America through bribes, lobbyists, and corporatism. BOTH the Left and Right are party to the treason that betrays America every day we are in unjust wars that strengthen the resolve of people who hate us. Watch this! Ron Paul - Eisenhower warned us!

@bsphenom Actually the economic collapse was caused by Dems FORCING mortgage companies to put people in houses who couldn't afford them. Watch, "Burning down the house. What caused the economic collapse".
BTW No republican today is remotely Libertarian except Ron Paul (who SHOULD have been voted in as President). ONLY he would have TRULY cut spending to balance the budget. ALL other Reps are lying NEO-CONS little different than Dems. BOTH sides now want to tax and spend and make us ALL poor.

@silverthundrwlf You are trying to throw ink in the water. We do know that Saddam had chemical weapons at one point. This is because the United States sold him those weapons. We also knew that those weapons were long sense expired. Chemical and biological agents are not stable and even when stored in perfect conditions most (the one we sold him) will break down in less than a decade. So all of those weapons were inert, we never found any, or any means of producing new agents.

@TAMARLANE You need to look at the budget you would have to axe all military spending to balence the budget. Republicans need to say they will raise taxes to be taken seriously.

@zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1 It would be a mistake to reduce our military budget. To reduce our entelement budget is all that is left. Repeal this stupid health care bill. Repeal all the expansion of government spending aside from military. Cut the wages of all government employees by 10% across the board. Quit raising taxes. Quit damaging small business enterprise. Stop with the lies.

@TAMARLANE American federal government spends almost nothing on education and has relitivly few employees compared with spending. Unless your willing to have the elderly die on the street from lack of medical care your plan won't work.

@zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1 I am willing to return to traditional values where families, friends and neighbors take care of their own.One size fits all inefficient government laundering of our tax money is NOT the answer.

@1Makyo Most families and neighbors don't have the resourses to actually help each other. The poor will have the most trouble and be unable to fend for themselves. If the poor die of untreated diabetes who is going to make your happy meal?

@zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1 I beg to differ. My family and friends and neighbors are well equipped to help each other for awhile . The poor disorganized will be fucked first.

Even if he said something as generic as "Spend less than you take in", I could live with that. But its like these guys only live on talking points and buzz words without any real idea what the hell they actually mean.

You betray your complete lack of knowledge of American politics and the Democratic party when you refer to it as socialism. Save your comments for Fox News where you fit in.

i can't believe my ears! gregory has the balls to tell one of his political friends they aren't giving him answers. why is that, what's wrong with him, doesn't he care he might not get invited to one of their parties or have them accept his invitation to his program?
gregory is typical of what's wrong with the so called "liberal media". he hasn't previously had the balls to tell a politician he is bullshitting, wrong or downright lying. he's been more interested in being a washington insider.

GOP is kinda racist, it relies mostly on white voters and with the white population on the decline in the USA, it will have a harder time getting elected in the future.

Sessions kept saying "Let get right to it." and then say the same thing he said before. The GOP's got nothing. No ideas. No tough choices. Just the same run-of-the-mill conservative platitudes without any specifics. Maybe that's good enough for the Tea Party members but that is not good enough for people who are unemployed and demanding their politicians to get the economy going again.

Platitudes, platitudes, platitudes. GOP has NO plan. They have done NOTHING since Obama was elected except complain, moan, whine, fear monger and announce bravely into any camera that they will obstruct ANYTHING the Dems want to accomplish....and that's exactly what they've done. They are collecting taxpayer money, lobbyist money, special interest money, living the high life and not doing what they were elected to do. GOP is dead.

Seems oddly similar to Mayor Adam West on Family Guy:
-Mayor West, if reelected, would you increase the frequency of garbage pickup?
-Well, citizen, that's an excellent question and I thank you for it. I think it's great we live in a town where you can ask questions. Because without questions, we'd just have answers. And an answer without a question is a statement.

The GOP is a dying party. They still cling to proven failed ideas, they're whores to the top 1% of America and ignore the real issues affecting the average American. They're corrupted beyond repair and it's time that we the people vote them out of existence.
They're very much like the old communist party of the USSR that collapsed under their own weight.

Bush didn't put the cost of his two wars or his tax cuts into the budget. Let's get right down to it, the GOP are liars who are in the pocket of BigCorpElite and will make the rich richer if given a majority in D.C. again.

Until the GOP gets rid of right wing versions of big government like the drug war and wasteful military spending, they will have done nothing to prove they're for small government. Whining about deficit spending starting the same day Obama got elected is just an act.

@tejaspics It IS funny and does sound like Sarah the sock puppet... The biggest difference is this nitwit and other do-nothing, just say "no" Repubs are elected to office and are supposed to be doing the peoples business. Repubs have done nothing at all in the last year and a half....and, during the Bush years, they took the money and ran with it, spendinig it like it was their own...and letting the criminal Bush Admin get away with murder. GOP is worthless....

@tejaspics Oh I see Sarah is the only one capable of saying Republican lines and being genuine. She says nothing and knows nothing, that's "real american" or as nietzsche would say slave morality.

@zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1 Sarah raises tons of money for conservative candidates for office. That is all she does.

American Journalists have failed to serve America in the lead up to the Iraq war.
At least this politician is being asked a direct question. Why is this special? Why are American journalists so deferential to American politicians?

He's too old anyway. Trust me on this. I'm a vigorous, intelligent 69 year old woman, healthy as a horse and active.....and I wouldn't fit for the office. Besides, all you have to do to know Paul is listen to his hairbrained son Rand...THAT's Ron Paul, his ideas, his ideology.
