Weekly Republican Address 9/17/11: Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL)

[3martijns]

At first I thought 'fmn..' comments were a Joke, since they are Sooo Ridiculous.

But then I saw his page and realized he has Many Years of Personal Anger that he is Venting on Bush.

Sad & Tragic to see a blogger Wasting their life with Bitterness.

I forgot Fast & Furious scandal - Horrible that DOJ is responsible for Helping Thousands of Guns go into Mexico, so Blood on their Hands!

AG Holder caught Lying and is to Testify more - so Arrogant & Aloof, like obama.

[ThugIntel]

I challenge any Republican to stop the constant flow of bullshit for just one day. It's not possible, is it?

[zaxineohp]

@ThugIntel

I challenge you to stop with the ad hominems and come up with substantive criticisms. If you have a plan for solving the current debt crisis, let's hear it. And it better be something more substantive than let's tax the rich.

I believe both parties have contributed to the mess we are in. In this case I do believe it is better to remove as many barriers on the regulated market as possible. (It's no longer truly free.) Let's encourage revenue growth at its source.

Multiple Scandals against obama have been Piling Up for his Entire term, more and more, worse and worse.

Solyndra, Light Squared, Black Panthers, KSM, Gibson, Boeing, Czars, etc......!

[3martijns]

obama administration is simply Against Capitalism and Free Market Enterprise.

They are All For Government Control of Everybody and Everything.

Their Actions Prove these Facts!

@3martijns

Even though that's not true...

The republicans murdered innocent woman, and children in an illegal war, how nice of them. The economy was destroyed in Bush's term. You think a new president is going to clean up 'that' mess in 4 years? Nope, it will take 8, and I guarantee you, it will be another 4. Republicans started destroying the U.S the second Bush become President. It will take a generation to clean up that fuckers mess!

Peter we need you in the Senate! I hope you run against Durbin!

[martranz]

This is right on the mark. As a smalal business owner, we understand just how awful this adminsitration has been. And for those of you who have responded that its still Bush, or Obama looking out for the middle class, get your head out of your ass and get a life. Pick up the clue phone, dial reality and listen: You don't create jobs by attacking the job creators, or DocRocz, commoonly referred to as corporate America. Just look at what Obama has done with his NLRB picks.

[stevenryhudi]

Are these people trying to hypnotize the people who listen to them? They use certain words over and over and over again. It is really bizarre. Just listen to this representative and the number of times he says regulations and job creators. Where has oratory gone?

[JRayMalcolm]

@stevenryhudi it's not a republican thing, it's a politician thing. it's called rhetoric, it's used to drive a point home or emphasize something. for example "pass this bill" (see what I did...because...obama... never mind) but everyone does it. I wish more people like you would notice and filter through what politicians say. 98% of people say congress is flawed but the same 98% say it's not their congressman/senator thats the problem.

[stevenryhudi]

@JRayMalcolm In that case I would say the 'repetition cycle' within the rhetoric is getting shorter and shorter

[stevenryhudi]

@JRayMalcolm Also ... the more partisan the member of congress, the less she/he represents everyone that she represents. Our congresswoman is often in the company of the current Speaker, at least on TV. But she hold the same seat as a former Democratic Speaker of the House - Speaker Tom Foley.

[JRayMalcolm]

@stevenryhudi the job of a congressman isn't always to represent their constituants, thats why America is a republic and not a democracy. But ya, since the internet and 24 hour news channels came around rhetoric by all levels in politics has exploded. Most presidential candidates didn't even campaign before the 20th century because it was seen as arrogant. look at us now.

[Planetsacramento]

Bush ruined America

[DocRocz]

Given that the political policies haven't changed since the Bush administration, where has this uncertainty come from? The same regulations were in place during the Bush administration and nothing happened during that administration for job creation. In other words since nothing has changed why is there suddenly a level of uncertainty.

I'll tell you why, because the Republicans are pulling for corporate America.

NOT MIDDLE America!
