"Washington Is Institutionally Corrupt" - Gov. Buddy Roemer, Morning Joe @ MSNBC

[catdogandrat]

I want to see a debate between this guy and Ron Paul

[heinj98]

I just turned 30 last month. I've known for awhile that the media steers elections for the elite that really run the country. The next president is chosen long before the candidates are chosen. I've known that for awhile as I started studying the illuminati when I was around 19 or 20. Anyway, I've found out how the media steers elections. People like Mike Gravel and Buddy have sparce interviews on tv, but outside of their interviews, their names or speeches aren't ever mentioned in the msm.

[heinj98]

@heinj98

Meanwhile, the other establishment candidates are scrutinized, and their names thrown out there, daily, by the msm. Whether it's good publicity or bonepicking publicity, their names are constantly in the news. So the establishment candidates are pounded out in the media, daily, by talking and scrutinizing their every speech and action, while the candidates the elite don't want in office get zero air time or mentions in the msm outside of their sparce interviews.

[heinj98]

@heinj98

I'm finally starting to see how the 'conspiracy' works. The elections are just a farce. The media makes up the minds of the people on who to vote for, and the person they vote for are who the elite of the country have chosen. Thus providing the illusion that the people actually have a choice and are somewhat in control of their government, when in reality, they're not. They're conditioned to vote for the person the elite have already chosen through propaganda from the media.

@heinj98

I've read that's kinda how it works through my research, but you have to understand, I graduated high school in y2k. As I was too young to pay attention to the Clinton elections, I haven't really been around long enough to see very many elections to see this whole scam play out. However, the past couple of elections have given me quite a bit of insight into how the scam is played.

[heinj98]

@heinj98 Wish I could edit my posts on this: "So the establishment candidates are pounded out in the media, daily, by talking and scrutinizing their every speech and action" That should read like this: "So the mainstream candidates who are the establishment candidates are pounded out in the media, daily, by talking and scrutinizing their every speech and action"

[jittauni]

The one thing that this guy has going for him is that he is extremely passionate about what he is talking about. he seems angry as hell and that resanotes with most ppl. we are fed up to here with all this rep/dem bs. someone just pls put aside their political beefs and help save this country!! am i the only one whos scared?

[IggleOckle]

He said: "soldiers on oil duty."I see why the GOP and the media have ignored him. He may be speaking the truth, but the truth is not always profitable and that's what the GOP covets most: Profits; over human lives and majority opinion. "Consume and obey. Immigrants will help rebuild America. Slave wages for the middle class to get industry back home. The Rich will rule the peasants openly for they have FAITH in the market. Worship the great Market, for it is ALL!"; the GOP paradigm.

[TheEricleeparker]

Buddy Roemer would like Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate

[626718]

I voted for Obama, and if Buddy gets nominated, i will vote for him in 2012. Unfortunately, he is running for the wrong party. He should be running as a 3rd party candidate.

[aciarlo123]

I am for Buddy! I sent him my $100, no questions. This guy has the best plan and makes sense. I believe he is the only one who can fix this mess we are in. He commands reverence, respect and honesty. He is true. This country needs him to kick its but and clean up the fraud and greed going on. It has to be done.

[LordProfBear]

Look at what the Republican party used to be. I disagree with a lot of what Buddy thinks, in terms of politics; but I can respect the guy. Try to find a Republican these days that you can genuinely respect. I hope he does well.

[aciarlo123]

@LordProfBear what do you disagree with? i haven't heard anything i disagree with myself...i have from every other b.s. candidate out there though.

[PurpleHoneyBear]

It was no shock that Obama won. He should have beat McCain by a much larger margin considering McCain's record, platform, and the fact that Obama outspent him by a long shot.

[CmdSheperd]

I don't like this guy, he's too reasonable. I like my politicians to be hard headed, uneducated, stubborn talking mouths for whoever gives them the biggest pile of money.

[rhinnawi95]

@CmdSheperd Hahahahah, nice.

[MrSunstar81]

If he doesn't rely on pac money and stays independent then we'll never have to bail another piece of shit corporation again.

[HENRYPATRICK1736]

Joe always reminds me of Frank Burns from Mash.

[HENRYPATRICK1736]

Buddy needs to bite the heads off some baby chicks so he'll get some cred with the republikkan base. Maybe pee on some homeless people from the window of a limo. Whatever he chooses he should do it fast, the crazy train is pulling out of the station!

[harryslide]

He's good, but he's not "cute" enough for the razor thin, superficial, lefty wacko women. The electorate in this dumbed-down country is fatally stupid.

I see very little hope for us.

[aciarlo123]

@harryslide lefty-whaco women? say something positive because people don't always understand

[tattoorichie100]

this man smacks of all that is good about presidential politics. He gets my vote if he runs, even if its only because hes renewed my faith in an otherwise down the toilet system.

[harding10B]

If the powers that be thought for a minute that this guy could get ellected they would arrange an accident .

[brennieb64]

So far, I really like what I hear. I'm certainly open to hear more and if his record backs him up, I'd vote for him.

[132411guy]

Don't interrupt him, man! Can't you see you're talking to the next President of the United States?

[ortiz275]

I am a democrat and if he turns down pac money then hell I might vote for buddy

[hardrocktobi]

This guy is just great. I have been a fan of Ron Paul for a while but wow this guy.

[rrhynes]

@hardrocktobi Ron Paul is better , all the way around. I don't think anyone can match him on knowledge or voting record. The fact he takes PAC money isn't a big issue as he already trashes theentire system. He's just smart enough to use it against itself....just what Roemer should do.

[igspal]

Would LOVE a debate between Roemer & Ralph Nader, better yet they should RUN TOGETHER!!!!!!!!! Since I'm still DREAMING...would ALSO have Dr. Joseph Mercola as Surgeon General, Jesse Ventura as Secretary of Defense (YES, him), Oliver Stone as Secretary of State (YES, him), Eliot Spitzer (YES, him) or Mark Freeman (of PA & NJ) or Robert L. Byman (of Chicago), or even Erin Brockovich as Attorney General...either this dream COMES TRUE or we MUST SWITCH TO A RBE (refer to my channel 4 more info)!!!

[66752063686172]

I'm a communist, and I hope he runs for office. He can destroy the USA twice as fast and rebuild it in the image of our leader Karl Marx.

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

I'm a socialist, and I'm actually liking this guy. Hey, he's far from socialist, but at least he's better than Obama in fighting corporate greed. Which is kind of sad. Obama with his empty promises. I'd vote third party, but they don't have a chance in hell of winning. So it's about striking a balance between good politics and actually having a chance of being elected.

[ramblingliberal]

Oh wow he is a Democrat I always thought he was a Republican!

[rrhynes]

@ramblingliberal He's a Republican. He used to be a Democrat, until the nominated a half-breed liar for President.

[ramblingliberal]

WOW... I'm a democrat, but right now this is the BEST THING I'VE HEARD FROM ANY CANDIDATE.. If Obama doesn't get serious about taking on the special interests then Buddy Roemers got my vote...

[trenchcoatbob1]

I hope he makes some noise. I'm not even a republican and I would love to replace obama with this guy!

[JefferstChmilst]

@trenchcoatbob1 Same here, except I only wouldn't mind* to replace him. This guy is surprising.

[FloridaLiberal]

He came in 3rd place in Louisiana's 1991 Gubernatorial race... behind David Duke aka the Grand Wizard of the KKK.

After seeing that fiasco, I seriously doubt he can beat ANYONE, much less Obama.

[neomax1]

@FloridaLiberal Hey, look ... they voted for Edwards whose bumper sticker was Vote for the crook, it's important. That was Louisiana, you know.

[ironsky99]

This guy is awesome, the more i research him the more im convinced hes the only one who can beat obama, and hes the only one who will actually make america better and get rid of the corruption and pernicious influences that are destroying our once great country. Support Roemer, donate, volunteer, take our country back and give it back to patriotic americans, do your part.

[ironsky99]

Im voting for Roemer, hes the only one who is speaking the truth about our country and hes the only one that is trying to lead a peaceful revolution of real Americans against our corrupt cronie politicians that are all bought and sold, you all know it, if you really love America we need to vote for a man like Roemer and donate, make him free to lead and clean up our country.

[rmleider]

Agreed. #1 issue by far is the corruption of our govt. with election money. Billions of dollars spent on campaigns--only for the benefit of the mega-wealthy wall st gangs and corporations that are only interested in their bottom line. All elections should be 100% publicly financed. NO other money should be allowed into the political process.

[Georgetownrun]

Governor Roemer is a great Independent middle of the road statesman, who is not elitist enough for Mika and her elite core of liberal snobs!

[PatriotInChief]

Roemer/Thompson '12

[Tranacria]

Don’t know anything about this guy, but his campaign finance ideas sound reasonable.

[rrhynes]

A bible thumping idiot that has no business in politics.

[woosailor]

@rrhynes ......maybe you can give us your credentials.....or do you just look for the R and say NO

[rrhynes]

@woosailor I'm not running so I don't need credentials. However, I do vote and I can't stand people yammering on about their faith when that has nothing to do with the position they're begging to fill.
