[neverlookback75]

lol, he was funny. They actually thought they'd get a straight answer from a politician.

[Flimmerjung]

Hypocritical Bastard, just look at him!

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Cantor is Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Cantor could ever be and is also MORE MAN than he is. Cantor wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants. This AIG faux pas is a clear sign that Obambi is a 1 term EPIC FAIL and Palin will PWN him in 2012 and become a 2 term EPIC SUCCESS! This country SORELY needs Palinomics right now for only it can save the world economy from a global depression!

[ianyoutub]

Palin for 2012!!!!!

Oh yeah. I can't wait to see that braindead imbecile re-enact some of her most memorable performances from last time. Hall-le-lu-jah!!!

[Zephyre187]

for real, I can try to arrange for you to suck baracks dick, because thats exactly how all you brainwashed idiots act

[jdp29824]

what a sorry sob . want stand up to involved in pointing fingers and not answering the question.

[justfiveyears]

It's amazing that this guy acts like he was not part of the first 700B bail out for AIG, they should really read the bills that they pass before voting on it so they can avoid this type of mess. DON'T reward the management that caused the business to fail to begin with. If the business didn't fail (like AIG or GM etc) then those CEO's can keep their bonuses, but since their were all failing I don't think they deserve millions of dollars of bonuses.

[TheRobReport]

Hilarious, Congress complaining about unwarranted spending. Oh the irony. That trillion dollars sure was well spent. Nothing went wrong or was done hastily. I'm sure I'll love the precedent this spending sets keeping the US perpetually in debt with the lower class dependent on the government, but what is important? Ahh the Republican wont tell us how hes gonna vote! Grrrrr, darn you Republicans!!!

[olof790217]

The new candid face of th republican party......

[Zephyre187]

jesus get over yourselves.

so what. the economy is still in shambles, and the only REAL thing your precious leader has done is NCAA tournament bracket picks and go on jay leno and say that his bowling could be is on-par with the special olympics.

I don't see anything on that?

[ianyoutub]

The only REAL thing Obama has done... right......Apart from the stem cell legislation, Guantanamo, the world wide diplomacy, the green jobs initiative etc. - apart from all those things yes all he has done is NCAA basketball picks.

You are a F-U-C-K-I-N-G R-E-T-A-R-D.

Did you get that? Do you need me to repeat myself so you can understand?

[Zephyre187]

By the way, you aren't going to put me down. Stop trying to act like a liberal bitch and getting your panties in a bunch. I commented this video because it's shit like this that is why kids today are fucking unable to formulate their own opinions. Nobody shows both sides of the argument. Every body just wants to blow off Obama, who obviously is in the presidency just for the show and image, considering, like I stated before, his option to go on Jay Leno and then pick NCAA bball picks.

[ianyoutub]

There aren't two sides to the argument, bitch. There's one and it's called progress. And you and other fuckwits like that fat fucking lardass Limbaugh can start suckin' on it.

[Zephyre187]

there are two sides of the argument...? Republican and Democrat?

jesus christ you are crazy...

how much time do they allow you to use the internet in your mental institution?

and i'd rather for your chocolate false idol barack to actually care for this shit thats happening to his country instead of going on 60 minutes and laughing about it

[tgear77]

And what was George W. Bush in it for since he did the worst job ever of being President? Was it just to get over his daddy issues? Eight years of driving this country into the ground because he couldn't bring himself to go see a shrink. When Obama starts doing half as bad a job as Bush and Cheney did, then you can bitch. Until then, shut up.

[ianyoutub]

Oh this is BEAUTIFUL.

He got that lying piece of shit by the balls and HE DIDN'T LET GO.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.

[Zephyre187]

EXACTLY MY POINT. You tell me how any of that shit has helped me, the common man.

It hasn't.

Stem Cells....are you serious? Jesus christ is it that big of a deal to you?

Green jobs....I thought we should get THE ECONOMY IN ORDER before making any jobs like this. Just like Roosevelt's New Deal did to prolong the Great Depression by 10 years.

How many Guantanamo Bay prisoners will go back to their country and kill our soldiers?

and if his world wide diplomacy is so good...north korea? Iran?

[Flimmerjung]

easy solutions for easy people!

[Zephyre187]

TPMTV of course another democrat media outlet. Jesus christ, can't anyone have some fucking non-bias these days?

[ianyoutub]

He asked the man a question - THAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE MEDIA - TO QUESTION POLITICIANS. CANTOR COULD NOT ANSWER.

[Zephyre187]

you are all dumbasses. It is illegal to have to tell other people how you are voting on issues. No matter how high up in the political hierarchy you are, that is fucking private.

[dakrus]

You idiot, it's NOT private! Once a congressman votes, everyone knows how he voted.

[Zephyre187]

Cantor Can't Say How He'll Vote on AIG Bonus Taxing Bill

"HOW He'll VOTE"

as in, he hasn't done it yet.

Politician or not, he doesn't have to say what he's voting for on MSNBC, and ther certainly doesn't need to be a youtube video about this

[hmoob7]

Not everyone, only the people that actually care.

[ashburn247]

no its not, all congressional votes are public record.

[ianyoutub]

REALLY? Then why didn't he just say "Sorry, I can't answer that because I am legally bound to keep it to myself. Look it up. Next question." Wouldn't that have been really simple? Let me tell you why he did not give that answer. Because that is BULLSHIT.

[TheRobReport]

Democrats control congress and they have controlled congress for the past 3 years. Still people blame Republicans? Wow, how the masses have downed the kool-aid. Newsflash: everyone in congress knew about this when they agreed to bail out AIG. Geitner helped write the bill and says he just learned about this last week. Reality Check: everyone who believes the politicians care about you are being played. Make a difference and use your vote and your money to change things. Vote ideas not labels.

[ianyoutub]

Oh jesus. Here we go. The Democrats controlled congress. THE REPUBLICANS WERE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THEY RAN CONGRESS FOR SIX YEARS. See that second part - THAT IS WHY PEOPLE BLAME REPUBLICANS.

[2rich2kare]

Watch a BOY

dance to BRITNEY SPEARS IF U SEEK AMY

its awsome and itll be awsomer when all of it is out!

check it out and subscribe please!

thanks!

[akfak0retlaw]

It's a stupid idea! most of those bonuses went to non-US citizens. A tax will not affect them because they don't pay taxes.

[awesomerepublican]

Republicans don't give a rat's ass how the country is doing; they just want to play politics to stop from going extinct.

[goodinohio]

It's unconstitutional, anyone care?

The bailouts are unconstitutional and punishing anyone with tax code is unconstitutional.

Every one of us is at the mercy of an unconstitutional government, we only have the right to beg them to treat us right.

We would not have these problems if the government had followed the constitution.

[alby711]

The interviewer is a fuckin idiot. There was a provision in the stimulus taken out by Sen.Chris Dodd with the help of Tim "the money elf" Geitner at the last minute which led to the bonuses being given out. If they would have left the bill as is we would need to vote to get 90% of our money back because we would have 100% of it still. HEY MEDIA: DO YOUR FUCKIN HOMEWORK AND STOP PLAYING THIS DONKEY VS ELEPHANT BULLSHIT!!! GIVE US THE TRUTH!

[PFWoody488]

Watching Eric Cantor fills me with contempt. He ignores a simple question and serves up his talking point platitudes as though no one will notice.

Nice to see him get called on his bullshit. Too often, the interviewer lets these guys get away with it.

Hopefully, when he runs for reelection, his opponent will air this tape. Then the voters can see what an 'honest, straight talker' Cantor actually is.

Weasely slimeballs like this are the reason that people despise politicians. What a douchebag.

[vincentjames70]

and I don't want a pickle....I just wanna ride on my motorcycle.......!!!!!!

[maunaowakea777]

it is silly to worry about a few million in bonuses when these bastards are stealing hundreds of billions of dollars from the u.s. treasury.

[KataVideo]

jo(k)e scarborough is in there trying to run intereference for that dumbfounded conservatard and vole impersonator can'tor. mika enables it all like a battered spouse.

o'donnell PWNED that guy anyway.

[noquitter702]

this room smells very homophobic,

the tax is illegal

[BigPurple121]

The tax is unethical not illegal

Taking 170 million in bonuses is unethical not illegal. Those MFers are still getting 17 million dollars. A lot of tax payers won't make one of those bonuses in their entire life & these people feel they deserve them. Maybe they should tax them 120%, make money off these MFers

[annarboriter]

The epitome of GOP leadership: he sticks his finger up his ass to know which way the wind is blowing.

[Plutonwolf]

He looks like more than a finger has found its way up his ass. And he sounds a bit lispy too. Did he "serve" on any committees with Larry Craig?

[abluecarrot1]

FAG!!!

Eric Cantor and Lindsey Graham should go get married. Bunch of fucking FAGS.

[KataVideo]

while I vehemently disagree with your homophobia, the current gop *is* filled with a bunch of hypocritical closet cases. lyndsey graham, mitch "miss" mcconnell and others vote against gay rights to please the crackers back on the farm while enjoying their own underground castro in d.c. they ought to just come out and then approve gay marriage.

[estvil30]

wow

[ogrish84]

Eric Cantor is a wanker.

[canadamonster]

just get the money back. some bonus money went to a canadian bank i think. why not just vote for the 95 percent tax on bonuses. a quick vote will get the money back. tons of bs discussions just gives time to the accountants and lawyers to figure out a way keep the bonuses.

[tradercris]

I'd rather someone take a stand I disagree with than waffle like an indecisive wimp.

[wayne388]

Well, here is the result: Cantor voted for the tax. Boehner voted against it.

[spazzovision]

WHAT A "flake!"....he is for whatever is best for him.

[digiring]

"How you going to get that money back?"

"waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle"

[pig5689]

Cantor is a perfect example of a Republican who lusts for power and greed and is incompetent. He won't answer yes because he's afraid of pissing off his whoring banker buds. He won't say no because he thinks the general voters will be offended and he may loose the next election. This is an egomaniac who will go down wherever path serves him best for himself, not the taxpayers. A weak and loathsome coward. He makes McCain look like a charitiable genius.

[chrisclub]

Who voted for this Cantor Dick? What an asswipe banker asskissing wimp!

[ver506]

Wooohooo, well said! Cantor's a tool!!!!

[sexdrugsRnR]

the fed is the real asskisser..

[sachaput]

Can these guys NEVER answer with a yes or no? Damn!

[delsonlv]

What a weiner! Here that double talk by Cantor? Typical Republican. Wait until you hear what these same double talkers say AFTER the Bill is passed this afternoon!

[MVX12]

ahah that reporter ripped Cantor a new ass hole.

and i love how in the end Scarborough was trying to rush to Cantor's aid like the little republican bitch he is.

[xlioilx]

HAHA republicans cant vote against the crooks they are controlled by

[schmiggen]

I'm glad the interviewer pressed him. You can't just always let people dance around questions. There were no interruptions when it sounded like Cantor was moving in the direction of an answer.

It's completely reasonable to be fed up with politicians trying to sound amenable to everybody by talking out of their asses at every second. There should be no problem with answering a "how are you going to vote?" question with "yea," "nay," or "not gonna tell you right now," but directly in any case.

[vasymolo]

Shameful! Shameful! We are paying these turkeys' salaries and treating them like little gods and godesses. Here is a man who cannot or will not say straight out what he really stands for.

[stengevarsel]

Way to put words in someones mouth. He wasn't even able to complete a full sentence before the reporter guy started to act like an asshole. That's a reminder to all who think they know what a bill is about, before reading it.

[conboy11]

I agree. The reporter was grandstanding just like all the politicians. Democrats screwed up and the reporter knows it and he's trying to pin it on Cantor by being a hard-ass.

[BayAreaLen]

um ah um uh uh um ah um yeah, I mean no. Maybe, I guess.

[WKaliberr]

I voted for Ralph Nader

[c2thew]

politics. he never answered the question, just filled it with fluff.

[voyeurdug]

Glad someone (not Cantor) - FINALLY pointed out the "bailout" involved was TARP (Bush Administration)... but then, went nowhere, having established that little factoid.

Taking Obama or Geithner to task for failing to pre-preset retro-retroactive conditions on TARP is even more idiotic than Cantor looks.

And, Cantor's auto-grin looks almost as idiotic-creepy as McCain's auto-grin.

[SquallCloud]

voyeurdug: Amen to your whole comment and it made me giggle too. lol

We only have 1 prez at a t time President Obama said while he was still Pres-Elect and that last one fucked UP. i wish his advocates and cronies ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE would just acknowledge what they did and look to the future while supporting a new way of doing things. The problem is they're all so entrenched in the old ways.

[makeyanoticeme]

I am so fucking tired of listening to these damn interviews where no interviewee can answer a god damned fucking question. Then the interviewer talks over them, hurting my ears. I could not have that job, I would be looking at these politically motivated assholes dance around yes or no questions and I wouldn't be able to argue. Just stare or fucking walk out of the studio. These people are jokes, corp. news is a joke, most of the people in our government are just jokesters.

[valgehiir]

lovely last 30 seconds, their meaningless crap merges into one unpleasant noise

[alwan11]

typical republican who loves to beat around the bush everytime they are asked a question. If your not going to vote for it JUST SAY NO!! how hard is that?!?

[volumedealer1]

So now Cnbc is our savior and is finally starting to ask the real tough questions to these weaselly A-holes in congress who answer with no real answers.

Like i keep saying evict all the assholes in politics,save a few.

They are the real reason this country is fucked!

[spencerdev91]

I know why he didn't say anything! He forgot to ask Rush!!

[zed4785]

Typical 2009 Republicans: this is what we want, but we have no idea how to do it, and ask the Dems to come up with a way for us. Then we can obstruct it, and everyone is happy, right?

[davis80smusic]

nicely put - thumbs up - the GOP should put up or shut up

[Vladimir0538]

Scarborough Shut the fuck up...bitch.

[SandorFne]

If Cantor were truly anry at AIG, he and his Party would propose legislation to remove the crooks running AIG from their offices. Instead, Republicans claim that the free market will take care of AIG management. Unfortunately, AIG and their cohorts in Bank of America and the like, continue to define and set the terms for American free market capitalism, with full Republican complicity.

[smcmillan88]

Finally people are starting to realize politicians just sit there and spew out bullshit in hopes that you'll forget what you asked.

The day of firm politicians with clear thinking is coming back.

[planetsean]

Mourning Bloat would be better discussing the salad oil Eric uses on his hair...

[jenisoutofhermind]

They are all TOOLS

[snipzor]

This guy is apparently the future of the republican party, the possible "grand poobah", and he can't even answer a simple question he should have known yesterday.

Anyone familiar with that Mayan Calender bullcrap? I'm placing all bets on the death of the republican party to be that year. Not because of the calender, because election season is then.

[Karlfalcon]

Goin' the way of the Whigs and Federalists.

[xxcommonsensexx]

Oh please, dems & repubs, they are all the same. They are both to blame for the way this country has turned out. The only difference is each party comes up with different ways to maintain the same failing system.

[lamouchemorte]

that is one way of looking at it.

[davis80smusic]

I have to disagree - I see what you mean, that they are all part of the same system, but seeing that the system is a given, and not going to be overthrown in the foreseeable future, then how can anyone look at the last 8 years of Bush/Cheney, and the first two months of Obama/Biden, and say there's no difference? Internationally. Public policy. Tex policy. The differences are obvious and huge. There are not blinders big enough in this world that can mask the difference!

[carrierexchange]

I'm gonna.... I'm gonna... I'm gonna,,,.. and a fucking fake piece of shit.

[burntonion05]

Translation: Let me ask Mr Rush Limpbaugh first.

[battierpeeler]

eric cunt whore

[jfkjrlover]

HAHA! That

[jfkjrlover]

(continued) is awesome!

[trxjw]

This guy is a joke.

[rasser5]

taxs this is not the way to fix ,all it dos is go after the simptume .the problem is all the congressmen that voted for this without any rules on how to use it. every one should be voted out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobhardball]

The GOP is running out of ideas. Obviously.

[moregravyplease]

Now it all makes sense. Bait the trap with the paltry 168 mil, then Dems get to sit back and laugh their asses off at the Republicans who turn socialist to get the money back.

[vdubs4life1964]

while the fed is printing Trillions,,,  we are bitching at 165 million.. Thats funny

[AstoundedAtheist]

Tool!!!

[robinvan1983]

damn how hard is it to say yes or no

[437thx1138]

Depends on how the wind is blowing. One must be slick. lol
