Rep. Ted Poe Regurgitates Debunked Czar Attack

[exenrontexas]

I drive by Halliburton's Houston office every day. The HQ are in DUBAI and BILLIONS of Halliburton money is hidden OUT of America to pay NO US taxes. It is TREASON to start a war based on LIES and then have your DUBAI company supply them. ALSO HAL is responsible for DEFECTIVE support of GIs that were KILLED because of HAL negligence. Should we arrest Bush and Cheney for MURDER? I think so. AND everyone who works for the president is a US citizen and the president was freely elected unlike BUSH.

[poodin2011]

@exenrontexas No, the HQ is in Houston, TX, but they have offices all over the world. And yes, what they do is very unique. Schlumberger is their #1 competitor (a French co.). You are obviously suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome & don't have your facts right. Are you suggesting Bush wasn't freely elected? You have some issues that I can't fix. Have a great life.

[poodin2011]

@exenrontexas Companies don't pay taxes. Consumers pay taxes. You don't even understand basic economics. Consumers ultimately pay all corporate costs, one way or the other, usually when they purchase the product or service that companies offer. When class envy liberal Democrats attack companies & want to tax them more, they are really attacking the companies' consumers---the American people. I doubt you can comprehend this basic reality, but just giving it one last try.

[exenrontexas]

@poodin2011 Not just WRONG but TOTALLY WRONG.YOU don't understand the marketplace. Consumers ALWAYS have the choice to buy from whom they wish or NOT buy it at all. The FOUNDERS never envisioned a personal income tax but they DID envision CORPORATE taxes. Do you always repeat the corporate LIES without thinking? If a corporation engages in activities that the PEOPLE do not want then they are taxed. If they are inefficient then they lose market share. Why do you reward CORPORATE SOCIALISM?

[poodin2011]

@exenrontexas I don't know who you are, but I own 2 small businesses, one is a gym/fitness center. When the Obama Regime imposed tanning bed taxes, we raised our tanning bed fees. If our taxes go up, either our protein shakes or dues have to go up to cover the higher cost. You think you are smart, but you are clearly misinformed & you have been brainwashed by the leftist liberals who have become anti-capitalist & anti-free markets. You are a socialist/Marxist/communist & you don't even know it.

[exenrontexas]

@poodin2011 Misinformed?? NOT AT ALL. The CONGRESS raised those fees because your tanning beds CAUSE SKIN CANCER. Perhaps you would rather take the private enterprise solution that YOU buy health insurance for ALL of your customers in case they have any skin condition? How many BILLIONS in uninsured healthcare, deaths and lost production are caused by YOUR production. It is only fair that YOU pay for it. NOT socialists at all but free markets. The public chooses.

[poodin2011]

@exenrontexas You are such a stupid jackass, mr. bitter & hateful enron fool. Please go f yourself & don't send me any more responses. Skin cancer which is rarely ever fatal is even more rarely caused by tanning beds, but the gov't bureaucrats use fear mongering just like you are to tax, spend & regulate us into oblivion & dolts like you are slobbering at their coat tails & cheering them on, all the while we continue to lose our freedoms b/c of willing idiots like YOU. Get lost!

[exenrontexas]

@poodin2011 You even talk like Cheney. My, my is that YOU, DICK? I thought one of the good legal moved under GHW BUSH was the lawsuit against the tobacco industry. They purposefully and knowingly cover up evidence that cigarettes cause cancer and other deadly diseases. Skin cancer is ALSO a killer. Maybe we should file on YOU, DICK.

[exenrontexas]

@poodin2011 Have you murdered any of your customers today? What are you going to say to them when they are dying a horrible death cause by your arrogance and reckless disregard for their lives?

[exenrontexas]

@poodin2011 Yet another example is the tobacco industry. At ENRON, they banned cigarettes long before it became the trend. Why? And now listened closely since I was in the senior exec meeting where this decision was made. They made that decision for MONEY. They were self insured and they had to set aside less money for claims due to fire and less money for health insurance. You idiots are so superficial.

[helpmakethingsbetter]

Rep, Ted Poe voted against the "Audit the Federal Reserve" bill. Is this the Rep. Ted Poe you voted for?

[exenrontexas]

Perhaps Mr. Poe should learn something about our government and THEN he might understand that the czars he ranting about serve the PEOPLE. But like so many of his conservative allies, he wants a government that serves that PEOPLE to collapse & replace it with a fascist dictatorship where the people get NOTHING & are forced into WAR after WAR. I'll bet Mr. Poe didn't creak a peep when Halliburton got their NO BID contracts for Iraq. Which were let by Sec. of the Army, Tom White, an ENRON exec.

[poodin2011]

@exenrontexas Czars are appointed, not elected, so by definition they serve the man who appointed them, Barack Hussein Obama, NOT the American people. Would you rather have an American company, Halliburton, or a French company, Schlumberger, get the Iraq contracts? They are the only 2 companies in the world that do what they do & are capable of fulfilling such contracts. You don't know what you are talking about! LOL!

[exenrontexas]

@poodin2011 WRONG! Halliburton is a DUBAI company and therefore pays very little US taxes and you are TOTALLY wrong about them being one of the few companies that could do contractor support. When I fought in Vietnam the GIs themselves did their own support so 100% of the money was recycled back to the states. With Halliburton the money goes to Dubai and a dozen ME companies and ZERO comes back to the states. This is TREASON and Poe and Cheney and BUSH should be arrested and tried.

[poodin2011]

@exenrontexas Halliburton headquarters is in Houston, TX, although they do business all over the world. How do you know where HAL's revenues/profits go? It's a publicly traded company FCOL! How is it treason to hire an American company to support our military overseas? If you worked for Enron, I can understand your bitterness but don't take it out on Bush & Cheney & Halliburton. You didn't respond to my czars explanation so I take it you stand corrected on that point.

[splicedenergy]

@poodin2011 Reagan had czars idiot and all potus's since. stfu

[zzztek]

It is funny how if it "agrees with me" they are non-partisan.

[usucdik]

This guy sounds like a washed up radio host trying to be edgy. Just listen to that closing line. Who else does that?

[earlymid90schild]

He says that at the end of every one minute speech he gives on the floor of the House (can you tell I'm a C-SPAN fan? lol). Walter Cronkite must be rolling over in his grave (and I think he was saying BEFORE Cronkite died as well).

[MassiveLemon]

Ironically, Czars and Communism only existed together briefly... They split ways after the Communist party killed off the Czars and got rid of Russia's monarchy. Moreover, the word "czar" does not appear in any of their job titles/descriptions; they're just a scare tactic. I mean, why didn't they cry about the first president to have a Czar, Reagan? Remember the Drug Czar?

[Francebrasil]

I just heard about the Idiot´s czar.

[exenrontexas]

I am ashamed to admit that Ted Poe is my Congressman. However, I am proud to say that I have OPPOSED his election in the past and will CONTINUE to OPPOSE his pompous grandstanding in Congress like he did as a local judge before. He would hand out sentences based on the defendents ability to guess the amount of change that Poe had in his pocket. ALL Texas should work to keep this man AWAY from any position of responsibility.

[Metzae]

I think we need a moron czar to keep guys like Poe out of office.

[iLLynch]

& BeantownJim

[iLLynch]

when u think hes gonna stop saying czar he says another one... im with TheBravo345!!

[TheBravo345]

poe rocks

[TheBravo345]

how about getting these czars off my payroll

[BeantownJim]

We need a birth certificate Czar. I volunteer!!!!

[chingon711]

I need employment....can you make me a czar for the porno industry?

[FriarTuck1961]

How much do all these Czars cost. If they get paid by the government then Congress should have to approve their appointment.

[BeantownJim]

Got Czar?

[classc63]

AMAZING....I still like to know where was all this concern under Bush and every other president that has had political advisors over the last 40+ years???????? WTF Don't we have bigger problems to deal with in this country than this continuous parade of idiot beating this subject to death??? Just goes to show that the GOP's has way too much time on their hands and their priorities of what's best for America are F'ed UP!!!!

[BeantownJim]

Paralell govt' made up of socialists communists homosexuals and theives i don't think God will bless us much for this!

[classc63]

WTFE!!! As opposed to GOP fear-mongering hypocritical liars?! Not to mention their delusional NUT JOB constituents!!! Yeah you keep thumping that bible of yours and why don't you have a Republican or two put their hand on it and see if they don't get burned.......

[BeantownJim]

It's one thing to have counscel It's another to have that counscel's ideals values morals and ethics derived from Karl Marx or Chavez or Kadaffi or Ayrs or Rev Wright.

That is crossing the line!

[classc63]

Why don't you use turn off FAUX News every once and in awhile and expand your education...Learn how to spell MORON!

[BeantownJim]

I wonder how Van Jones is doing did obongo get him a new job yet?

[USAPatriot1966]

It's about accountability and who is making policy. At what expense. Bush czars were not paid with the exception of 3 or 4 and did not require a staff.

Whats best for america is for you libs to go take a long walk off a short pier!

[classc63]

Why don't you go take your meds with a BIG ole glass GOP koolaid!

[USAPatriot1966]

Kool-aid good, MMMMMM-MMMM-MMMM!

Mine will not be poisoned.

 Better why don't you go line up for H1N1 shot. That is what your messiah wants you to do. HAHAHAHA!

[classc63]

Now don't forget where you put your tinfoil hat...we wouldn't want the sun to bake what's left your brain. FREAK!

[USAPatriot1966]

So let the name calling begin....HAHAHA

Checkmate!

[USAPatriot1966]

GLSEN founder and creator is now the school czar. You want someone like him in charge of your kids school implementing policy and directing funds?

There is a video out with him encouraging an underage kid with an adult of the same sex having an encounter.

[MassiveLemon]

You mean a 16 year old kid having sex with an older man, even though the teenager was of legal age of consent?

[USAPatriot1966]

Either way, 16 having sex with an older man in my opinion is perverted. Yeah he is a pedophile and 16 might be of legal age but if you know the law like I do. Some states have a three year age difference and the 16 year old is not of sound mind to give consent. IE, he lives with his parents or gaurdian.

[MassiveLemon]

Even if you consider it perverted, the kid was old enough to give his consent. Some states have a 3 year gap, but did that state have one? Also, just because he lives with his parents does not mean he is not of sound mind, just that he's not financially stable.

[USAPatriot1966]

You said it also. It was a perverted act. SO WHY IS THIS MAN A SAFE SCHOOL CZAR AND ADVISING THE PRESIDENT?

I believe this was done in mass. From what I can see there is a three year law gap. What are you a member of NAMBLA?

[MassiveLemon]

I said that if YOU consider it perverted, it doesn't matter if it fits with the law. However, Jennings has apologized and admitted that he should have handled the situation differently.

[USAPatriot1966]

Again, why is this man advising the president?

And yes it is perverted!

[MassiveLemon]

He's advising the President because Obama believes that he has insight into the school systems and how they could be made safer. He says the reason he handled the situation so horribly was because the schools hadn't prepared him for that, and he hopes to be able to do a better job now.

[USAPatriot1966]

So, why him? There are thousands of other educators that could be chosen. Jennings wites book about making schools safe for gay & leasbians. He created GLSEN. Member of NAMBLA

My point is he is another person with confrontational background or past that should not be near the president.
