Congressman's Paid Consultant Disrupts Opponents' Campaigns

[GradStud28]

John Kline represents neither American nor Minnesotan values. He is dishonest, has worked against American and Minnesota workers, constantly supported the Bush admin and (astonishingly since he bills himself as a "military man") has voted against vetrans benefits! (Okay, Kline's not really a Minnesotan - he's an Easterner/Texan - but still, it'd be nice if he were a decent person.)

We need to elect someone with true integrity and Minnesota values. Sgt. Steve Sarvi seems like he'd do a fine job.

[sfvcubster]

I'd have socked that old bitch...then snatched her fly ass goggles.

Investigative reporters are awesome when they're on your side.

[tsenzei]

Investigative reporters are awesome when they're doing an honest job.

[East17A]

alot of people ask from american people to wake up what the hell we spouse to do really we have let them grow up and in return they rip us of and we still see this new as holes want from us to vote for them elected to congress office one of them telling us congress need to act yeah right act rip us more and more feeding us by this fake patriotism i don't to hear it we have reached this patriotism thing to the point alot of idiots become dumb

[tsenzei]

I'm interested in your thought, but I can't tell what it is due to lack of punctuation, grammar, and capitalization. I'd love to read what you're trying to say if you're willing to type it in a way that it makes it easier to understand the relatively complex thought.

[NoReligionInSchool]

conservative republicans need to stop inbreeding

[saadasim]

If Republicans didn't have double-standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all!!

[beltman713]

Ha ha, that was a good one.

[segits]

this video doesn't interest me.....too internal, where there's always propaganda, spying shit goin on.

[akesling]

Excellent investigative reporting.

[Bolgernow]

Kline's a sack of shit for sure...but I wish I could of heard his answer to the students question...

[avzett]

People need to wake up and understand that Democrats and Republicans are both on the same team, and all these primaries and elections are just puppet shows to keep Americans inline and believing they are free.

American elections and the Congress have about as much credibility as Soviet elections.

[RandleEl11]

I couldn't have said it better myself, avzett.

[flug747]

Hallo veracifier,

It's called "DemocratIC Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton", remember?

[oaklynlen]

if jeff flake could not get support for his bills targeting earmarks from within HIS OWN PARTY(75% to be exact), than what does that say to the so-called fiscally conservative republican party?!

[mycolebee]

This is great.

To koch46: You're a typical Republican. Lowering the bar and name calling.

[ximmise]

Thank you for your well thought-out and cogent post.

I am sure that the Ivy League masses will be signing up to your no doubt upcoming lessons regarding Debate 101.

BTW...I have this pot, and I've heard you have a kettle. Is it black as well? Please...do tell.

[koch46]

Mike McIntee is just another mud slinger keeping politics where it has been for a long time looks like both sides in this race are doing the same things instead of stating real solutions to the problems they can change from their position and how they will pay for it

bunch of nanny nanny poo poos im telling monmmies

[jjoshaugh]

A truly steller piece of Journalism. to Mike McIntee, extremely well done.

(And for the record, i don't know the guy at all :) )

[HotDogChiliePepper]

great job. please email this to all your friends. everybody needs to see this.

[codingkriggs]

I was about to comment on the really professional tone of this report, as well as the well done voice-over. The note at the end that Mike McIntee has over 30 years experience is no surprise to me. Good job!

[UpTakeVideo]

Thank you! I rarely worked in front of the camera. So this is fun to do.

Mike McIntee

We need Ron Paul to clean up our GOP and get rid of these scumballs.

[facezy]

It's pretty obvious that the majority of Republican politicians are slithering disgusting cheating evil-doers!

(minus Ron Paul)

[legalizeliberty]

Ron Paul can still be president!

google dvds4delegates

google campaign for liberty

[justmom66]

Lord tell me one government official that is not corrupt or on the road to being corrupt. I do not think you can. Out entire government needs to seriously be dismantled and remade the way our founding fathers intended it to be.

[Mel1334]

The GOP is over.

[moejardines]

The GOP is on the verge of overplaying their hand, and I hope they do. People who can't recognize the bullshit of mainstream GOP tactics are either intellectually dishonest or complete morons.

Class from the GOP? Is it too much to ask? This party is a shame to the legacy of Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Goldwater.

[bbburton]

That's how all of the neocons operate. Their magic is all done behind closed doors, never to see the light of day until the havoc they wreck has been cemented in legislation. Republicans and democrats alike are involved in this type of chicanery. We need more statesmen like Ron Paul to get our gov under control instead of gov getting the people under its control.

[spencerdev91]

Republicans are so corrupt.

[Organjic]

Now they are(well most of them)

I just became Republican, last year, and I consider myself a true conservative founding father Republican.  This country survived on Republican values for a long time until they broke their oath to office. Even democrats are not following the law, the Constitution. History shows that when that document is followed, America was secure, free, and prosperous!

[Organjic]

END CORRUPTION! Check out Ron Paul!

[moejardines]

Ron's a lost cause for Prez, HOWEVER, question for texans: Could Ron Paul mount a successful senate campaign? The right needs its own version of Russ Feingold in the upper house. I'm not a Paul-ista, but I absolutely believe he's the kind of principled politician that the country deserves, left, right, center, whatever.

Integrity means a lot to me, and I'm a left of center Obama supporter rooting for a Goldwater republican in this case.

[Organjic]

Ron Paul doesn't need to win the Presidency to be my Leader, or even this country's leader!

[moejardines]

That's a ridiculous statement there brother. C'mon and get a grip. Senate would be a stretch for Ron, and most of America thinks his policies are pretty radical.

I like the guy, but your statement is eviscerated by reality. GODDAM REALITY!

[Organjic]

Want to talk about Reality? Look at the USA before the Federal Reserve(1913). OWND!

[moejardines]

How am I owned again? You stated :" Ron Paul doesn't need to win the Presidency to be my Leader, or even this country's leader! "

That's just silly dude. Talk about the Fed all you want, but your statement was just stupid. Ron Paul got a lot of traction in his bid, but his policies are not all sensical, nor are the marketable. Last time I checked we lived in a democratic republic, so you have to sell the stuff to the people. Some stuff he's peddling is silly imho.

[Organjic]

not worth it, you too brainwashed. Have a nice Fascist/Globalist/Socialist society!

[wtfoof]

Tell me about the depression of 1894. Tell me about the first National Bank of the United States, chartered in 1791.

Tell me about The National Bank Act of 1863.

[Organjic]

They failed and were removed.  Look at who owned those banks. Look at their corruption, media distortion, and removal. Central banks have been attempted and fail but now we accept a central bank. BUT ITS FAILING! Enough with the bullshit already!

Ron Paul Supporters have done the research. If an Obama or McCain supporter started reading and doing research they would eventually find themselves a Ron Paul supporter. Facts suck, get used to it or get used to fiction.

[tsenzei]

Actually, as an Obama supporter, I have done the research, and while I certainly see the problem, I don't think that Ron Paul is the person to fix it (I don't think Obama is either, but I agree with more of his other policies). Personally, I think that Ron Paul can do more good as a Congressman than he would as a President in this day an age.

[Organjic]

As soon as you learn history(watch Money Masters) and as soon as you learn daily current events, you will wake up more and more. Keep reading and researching!!!!

[tsenzei]

In spite of the best efforts of the recent President, the Legislative Branch is actually the most powerful one. It's perfectly reasonable to consider Reps and Senators to be your countries leaders, even if it isn't a "normal" view of things.

[Organjic]

Your leader does not need to be even a person, it could be morals, principles and values you hold deep in your heart. Its the reason I do not want these corrupt "top 2" candidates.

[DillonX]

It's sad and unfortunate that we don't have more ppl like Ron Paul in our GOP now -- so many are "on the take" from special interests.

[LarryNocella]

AWESOME. Take it to 'em, Mike! I love it. Anyone who would vote for those clowns yelling racial stuff and lying on camera is a dolt. Why do so many idiots not quite seem to get how video works? You can't lie on video and then expect it won't come back to get you. Sigh! I'm off to subscribe to UpTakeVideo now.

[loki3692]

Did you even watch the video?

I would say no because you seemed to have missed a lot.

[Seb1l]

This is very good reporting

[fubar28]

mike mckintey, you have beautiful eyes.

[dingorex]

This is so biased. When are you going to go after the socialist America-haters with equal ferocity?

[neuroticrobotic]

Any report has it's own bent. The bias of this report were outlined in the beginning and end of the video. As a viewer, it is your job and right to weigh bias against the report's content. Also, to define this as ferocious would be a misuse of the word. Lastly, could you point out the socialist america-haters in the video? I didn't catch any..

[twylightsky2007]

such a sad way to run a smear campain. like a coward. I suppose her oppinion helps that she's been paid good money for it. Can I get paid 50,000g for my oppinion between elections? lol

[kasdri]

ha ha ha ROFL ,, great stuff

[dafttool]

Good reporting. Bratlie's last quote is inexcusable. Elected officials have a reponsibility to be reponsive to their constituencies. They are to represent the people, first & foremost. You can't do that if you don't ever speak to the people.

[annarboriter]

Quite simply an inspirational act of journalism. This is what the 1st amendment was meant to foster.

[1000orsowords]

nice work!

[BeondaPale]

Awesome job Mike

[luvangel330]

They are all in bed with each other....

[xusword]

If only every reporters in the world are like Mike...

[charliebaird13]

He doesn't blink

[mcresearch]

OK so Karl Rove has his hand up Kline and Bratley's ass too.

[ShaxomophoneLuver]

Karl Rove approves!

[Psilo007]

hopefully this will give the push to get the incumbent out.

[KingHotChocolate]

Eww, I can see the corruptness on his face.

[twhichy]

awesome report. Kline should be deeply ashamed of himself.

[CynicalSavior]

I'm in MN myself! Kline is a douche and Ijust don't understand who votes for this guy when he's done NOTHING for us.

Could you PLEASE do an expose on Norm Coleman as well? His attack ads are the stuff of pure comedy.

[pfannyguy]

Well done, Mike

[givennot]

Reps love to use the Rove method of campaiging. I wish I lived in Minn so I could help throw this Kline out.

[loki3692]

So do you see any problem with asking a question and changing the answer to what suits you better?

[thereallurker]

Another scummy Republican, but is it news?

[asdffd]

Well done. Kline and his supporters are creeps.

[Plutonwolf]

Standard issue dirty tricks straight from the RMN playbook.

[tralliboll]

5/5

[moikl]

that's a really good video - well done uptake!

[ScottishViking77]

wicked hehe...great work!

[GOneScUBa]

Thanks for posting!

[RKingFaraday]

God, this reporting may be good, but this dude's face is distractingly hideous

[chumashfalcon]

usually when someone says mean things like that, it is out of insecurity about ones self.

[sachaput]

Unbelievable! Good video report.

[swankrecords]

Excellent episode!
