"GOP 2012: A Lot of Reasons Not to Elect Them"

[MrBushlied]

If the American people give the Democrats a huge victory in 2012, they will squander it just like the did four years ago. Perhaps it's better if a Republican won and ran America into the ground. Perhaps America needs a Dr Kevorkian instead of a Marcus Welby. That's why I support Michele Bachmann. I can't wait to see Marcus Bachmann dressed in an original Holston at the inauguration ball!

[noelparisian]

We all know that net job creation comes from small and medium businesses. Why then do Republicans call large corporations 'job creators' and insist on lowering the corporate tax rate? And complain about the debt? Buncha headless chickens

[cat1012000]

LOL these comments R a joke right? You want to continue this giving to corporations? WTH do you think the EPA & the Dept of Education are? THEY ARE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. Many departments within the government are. IF FACTS DONT SCARE YOU, then google or here on youtube -- check out public private partnerships. AND DO YOU LIKE THE BANK FEES TO USE YOUR DEBT CARD? DO YOU? Will, you have the Dodd/Frank bill to thank for that...

[musker18]

@666braniac: the poor may start a business, but once they have enough money to HIRE and PAY someone... they ain't poor no more: They're RICH. Your bias prevents you from thinking rationally.

[musker18]

@coruscantooo: 9/9/9 flat tax! Owned!

[sga86]

I kinda agree with this ad, but so far Obama is doing a shtty job. So I would go for the Libertarian Republican Dr. Ron Paul who's honest, consistent, and right about almost everything for the past 3 decades. Bring our troops home, end the FED, and restore sound money as competition currency.

[nottinmatterz2day]

This ad is wrong

Ron Paul is right, 2012

[TimelordR]

@nottinmatterz2day Are we talking Barry Goldwater Right or Dick Cheney Right? 

[matchbox555]

@nottinmatterz2day RON PAUL SUCKS, I HOPE SOMEONE KILLS HIM

[nottinmatterz2day]

@matchbox555 he sucks at being bribed like normal politicians

[tdrml]

Another good ad for republicans paid for by the DNC. A lot of these "likes" are from republicans themselves... For some reason the DNC doesn't understand that people educate themselves and know what each of the 2 second clips refers to. They know that these statements are actually for the benefit of the middle class-- Cut edu: stop paying for cpus, ipads, etc. for students. Obamacare: get rid of an unfair tax and cost for the middle class. EPA: get rid of it to promote small business.

[punanibuzzed]

ron paul

[TheLibertyMinute]

No inclusion of Ron Paul, and good on you for it. Ron Paul is the only candidate who will fulfill President Obama's promise to end the wars and actually make a stand AGAINST the corporatocracy by cutting off the corporate welfare gravy train! Obama said he would end the wars and take on the corporations, but he didn't. Elect the guy who WILL. RON PAUL in 2012!!

[ninuxy]

How about we repeal all their citizenships and throw them in to Mexico and Somalia where their brilliant ideas can continue to flourish more poverty and economical subjugation.

[pf91rodman]

Ron Paul was the only candidate not in this video!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Paul 2012. Look him up

I'm just spreading the word because the bullshit media won't.

[asg102]

I know must of you guys do not understand freedom, but take some time and attempt to understand it. After that listen to Ron Paul.

He speaks the truth

[MrKermit09]

how strange, Ron Paul was not shown speaking in this video, isn't this supposed to be a video against ALL republicans?

RP 2012

[bigtexansfan]

Republicans have not done a single thing or have passed a single policy in favor of America or the the American people in 30 years! Not a damn thing! They fail to realize only conservative are fucking dumb enough to believe letting corporations pollute the air and water, and Wall Street gamble with our nations treasure, credit card companies rip us off, and the health insurance cartel continue it's abuse of it's customers will somehow create jobs and is in our best interest. fucking morons!

[TGtube1]

Great Story , As seen on NEWSBAD

[007ephraim]

wrong for the freeloaders that is

[1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh]

@007ephraim Yeah, those "freeloaders" who get up and bust their ass from sun up to down, for shitty pay, no benefits, and the magically disappearing pension when it's time to collect. Now they're such "freeloaders" because they want their air and water clean, their kids educated, access to affordable quality health care without being denied, and for banks, credit card, and finance companies not to make their asses bleed for having need of their services. You people are real pieces of work.

[ShaganOverman]

Also we need Ron Paul because he will end the Federal Reserve that prints money out of thin air debasing the currency which makes anyone who uses the dollar more poor. By traditional calculations and not the corrupt CPI currently used we had 9% inflation this year due to Bernanke's QE policies. That money didn't help the middle class or the poor losing their houses. It went to Wall st., Big banks, and worst of all ...foreign banks. Research RON PAUL. Hes not your normal republican candidate.

[Stingerbillion]

So their solutions to creating jobs are defunding every program helping the middle class/poor without touching the rich? Wow GOP, you're making progress. You know, it's easy to see what these Republicans will do to this country: Just take a look at Republican ran states: More poverty, less education, more pollution, horrible healthcare, etc. You want GOP to run this country, then go for it.

[ShaganOverman]

Someone will most likely mention GE not paying any taxes this year. Trust me most TEA party members think this is wrong. GE also moved a lot of jobs outside the US... yet their CEO is pretty good friends with the Obama's. Anyways... most TEA party members feel there should be flat fair tax without any loopholes for corporations to exploit. Look up RON PAUL. His belief is that taxes on EVERYONE should be minimal. No taxes on tips of waiters too. He also believes the wars should stop!!!

[Stingerbillion]

@ShaganOverman Give me a break: GE is not paying taxes because of tax loopholes, not because Obama is buddy with the CEO. Also, GE is leading creator of wind turbines, solar panels, gas turbines, trains, etc so it's also getting subsidies from the government. GE is investing in US and the world where demand is, it's common sense business strategy. Really, learn some facts. It only makes you look stupid.

[ShaganOverman]

@Stingerbillion GE and company's like GE find any way they can to get out of taxes. We need a flat tax code where corporations can't get around paying what everyone else has to. I'm also saying it looks bad on Obama when he talks about American jobs during his speech while at the same time his wife is chatting it up with GE's CEO who just moved a ton of US jobs out of the country. Subsidies are BS too. We need to elect RON PAUL. End the wars. End the income tax. End the pointless bureaucracies!

[Stingerbillion]

@ShaganOverman Well i agree with you on that.

[ShaganOverman]

Also if you are curious why unemployment is high... Business's are taxed 35% here in the United States. In almost all other parts of the world business's are taxed 16-25%. The current administration's only answer is to increase taxes so they can increase federal spending. Here's another option. Don't tax job creators so much. Businesses and innovation will have a incentive to grow in the US. People get jobs / better jobs / higher pay from these businesses. Everyone wins. Its a complicated world.

[Rabsputin]

@ShaganOverman "job creators"

you sound like a typical republican here. just be honest and say "the rich".

[ShaganOverman]

@Rabsputin Fine. Call them the Rich. But you can't get around the fact that they make the bulk of the jobs in the United States. When you tax them too much. They don't make jobs. My father owns a small business. He pays 52% of what he makes in taxes when all is said and done for the year. Now they want to tax him more. The current administration wants to tax businesses that create jobs till they move out of the country where taxes are lower. US business taxes. 35% Other countries 16-25%.

[666brainiac]

@ShaganOverman Your claim that the rich creates jobs is a myth. Many businesses in our country started in the home, in the garage, in the basement, in the back yard and grew to be big business, in other words the poor started the business, the poor created the jobs.

Americans are people who started at the bottom in a land of opportunity. Take your myths and get lost.

The rich today is paying lower taxes than the rich did 50 years ago and 50 years ago America was better off than it is today.

[Rabsputin]

@ShaganOverman "My father owns a small business. He pays 52% of what he makes in taxes when all is said and done for the year."

clearly your father doesn't know what the fuck he's doing when it comes to filing expenses or his accountant isn't worth shit. if all of the big corporations are managing to dodge paying their taxes, what do you think they're doing different?

if you're not rich you're voting for the wrong party, and i don't give 2 shits who your family votes for "traditionally".

[1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh]

Q: Who is actually so fucking stupid they believe a lack of education, giving corporations free reign to pollute, and lack of access to health care giving the health care cartel back the right to abuse their customers is good for America and will create jobs?

A: Teabaggers/republican partyline voters/libertarians and other fucking morons who simply hate a Black family in the White House.

[8151Michael]

@1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh

Wow. That's quite the partisan rant. I think some of the candidates were pointing to the fact that the less federal bureaucracy in education, the greater improvement in scores. Yes, that would include the No Child Left Behind Act passed by Bush. I think that is different from not having schools/ any education (as you believe) since education, I believe, a STATE function. Any time a kid can mess up a test purposely & affect a teacher's salary, there is something wrong.

[1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh]

@8151Michael No child left behind is a straight up FAILURE! To be honest basing achievement and readiness on standardized test alone is also a huge failure. You have people who are brilliant and perform flawlessly in a hands one environment but struggle greatly on paper. Teachers should be paid way more and more of a priority put on educators. Why do you think Asian kids are mopping the floor with American children? For one a teacher in Singapore is paid like a Wall Street day trader in the USA

[VITRUVIANMANNOLA]

Who would have ever thought that a US political party would run on getting rid of the EPA? Well, since Supreme Corporate Justices have allowed corporations to buy our officials they have paid them to get rid of the EPA. Why? B/c the EPA wants to keep the air you breathe clean or the water you drink clean & from catching on fire but that means big energy companies have to operate safely & safely means some money & that's unacceptable to big corps. IT'S ALL ABOUT GREED & being able to harm whoever

[mrdeanignacio]

The people in the video are the scourge of the Earth.

[homeschoolmarm]

Seriously DNC, is THIS the best you can do? If THIS ad is it--Obama is TOAST--One and Done in 2012!

[Aaron767]

Reason number one not to elect the people on that stage: They are Republicans!

[TheRockeieio]

I saw nothing but reasons to elect Republicans.

How is that "Hope and Change" working out for you?

I'm just hoping I have some change left when 2012 rolls around.

[hekesq]

Of course the GOP wants to eliminate the Dept of Education, EPA and repeal Health care. The GOP wants people uneducated and sick without any health care. THeir real constituancy, the rich, can pay for private education, drink bottled water and pay for their own doctors.

[ycfightingirish1]

RON FUCKING PAUL.

[LiLrick258]

Haha.... Fa'sho! Great clip, Let's do it; Obama 2012!!!

[ShaganOverman]

The Department of Education creates more red tape than school administrators can deal with. When you have administrators spending more time on regulations than actually teaching you end up with the terrible results the United States is currently displaying. If something is broken... you fix it. The department of education is beyond broken and needs to be scrapped so our children are given the environment needed for success. Do your homework on the subject!!!

[mainebud19641]

@ShaganOverman Republicans do not like for children to be educated...it would not be to their advantage.

[Rabsputin]

@ShaganOverman "When you have administrators spending more time on regulations than actually teaching"

when i was at school the teachers did the teaching, not the administrators.

[ShaganOverman]

@Rabsputin I'm seeing a lot of ignorance show up in these comments on the Department of Education. Regulations from this department tie the hands of administrators and teachers to following strict guidelines in order to receive funding. They are forced to teach everyone the same way even though its proven that not all people learn the same way. Good teachers aren't allowed to succeed. If you are curious why the United States ranks so low on an international scale you now have your answer.

[Rabsputin]

@ShaganOverman ok so the department of education isn't firing on all cylinders, i get that. but what the GOP are attempting to do here is continue to dumb down america, just like the church, they don't want the little people to be able to think for themselves.

if the DoE is in bad shape it needs to be reformed, not trashed like these insane hillbillies are calling for.

[ShaganOverman]

@Rabsputin No! We wan't the federal bureaucrats who never do anything correctly out of the business of teaching our children! Administrators need to be able to fire bad teachers that are riding tenure. Good teachers have one hand tied behind their back because of all the regulations put on them by the DoE because they control the funding. Why do you think rich people send their children to private schools... because those schools aren't controlled by a fundamentally flawed bureaucracy.

[Rabsputin]

@ShaganOverman "Why do you think rich people send their children to private schools"

so they can have their kids' brains washed with fundamentally flawed theology. also for the status, you seem to be ignoring the fact that most people who have money are vain as fuck and look down on people who have less money than them.

[Rabsputin]

@ShaganOverman "No! We wan't the federal bureaucrats who never do anything correctly out of the business of teaching our children!"

i think you'll find the scenario is exactly the same when your old white money GOP are in office. those idiots can't even accept what scientists have agreed on for several decades and they seem to think they know what's best for the population? give me a break. greedy money grabbing bastards the lot of them.

[zenvisicam]

when is it ever okay to fuck with education?

[bobbysaysyo]

Republicans are in it for the interest of the rich.

[kogcc]

voting Republican is like taking your abusive spouse back because he promised that "this time it will be different," or that he's "changed." Voting Republican doesn't make you a victim of abuse, it makes you an accomplice.

[AlphaGeminorium]

During the debate on Sep 22, audience members did what the candidates can't do publicly. Booing a US serviceman who has put his LIFE on the line is thoroughly unAmerican, and precisely what each and every one of those candidates would have done if they weren't in front of a nationally televised audience. Indeed. The GOP and the Teatards have totally lost touch with reality. And you can guarantee that those boos came from people who haven't served a day of their lives for their country.

[shadowym1]

You have to have brain damage or Alzheimers to vote for a Rethug.

[LeeFoxRox]

Is this really the best democrats can do in their ads against Republicans?

[zenvisicam]

@LeeFoxRox do they need to do more?

[LeeFoxRox]

@zenvisicam

Yep.

[appauled25]

Hmm I think you guys should take a look at Ron Paul. The rest are flakes.

[pitter43]

For every reason liberals can think of not to elect any one of these candidates, I can think of one reason that overrides any objection, obama.

[tegab]

@pitter43 what reason, you have to explain yourself. obama simply is not an answer....

[pitter43]

@tegab obama is exactly the answer.

[Trafalgar1961]

This is a great ad. Damned by their own words.

[krunk1980]

Dems, Im one of u and im on ur side but COME ON!! Now is not the time for subtly! Bachmann said she wants NO TAXES and then said she wants to build a wall at the border. Santorum wants gays to cease to exist and he played with his dead fetus for a day before burying it. The facts about these people are outrageous. EXPOSE THEM! PLAY HARDBALL.

[swollenturd]

the EPA has overstepped its boundaries. ie. its RRP ruling for contractors. more red tape and SHITLOADS more paperwork. it does need to be overhauled. will it? highly unlikely. the rest, c'mon. education. last i checked we needed that one.

[sassycat21]

@swollenturd Being able to breathe clean air should be considered rather important to those who need to breathe, such as every living thing on this earth!

[swollenturd]

@sassycat21 has nothing to do with air quality. if you think thats all the EPA covers you've short sighted the department.

[coruscant000]

I truly believe that the GOP has lost its touch with reality...really, close down the Department of Education? Are you serious... Oh don't tax the wealthy, instead, let us cut the loopholes out, now that's a good one, they are going to cut the same loopholes that help them cut taxes out of their returns.... I can't trust any GOP candidate as far as I can throw them....morally corrupt idiots!!!

[DeathByTarantula]

@coruscant000 The Department of Education has been going downhill almost since it was implemented into by the U.S. Government. You've not provided examples of HOW it is good yet people give you thumbs up. People seem to enjoy capitalism but always want to move towards communism/socialism. In a free market where corporations aren't as big an issue, schools would compete with each other to be better and thus get students who pay more. If schools get paid by Governement, why should they bother?

[coruscant000]

@DeathByTarantula This is a typical right wing response....seeing that someone made some common sense (and let's all face the facts, the Tea Party is really short on giving facts out but is quick to the whip where they can cut down other races and homosexuals) and the people liked what was said. It really doesn't make sense, maybe it makes more sense to reform the department, but to shut it down, first wave of facism in our country.

[DeathByTarantula]

@coruscant000 Correct, I am a fiscal conservative, and socially liberal. I think that in a capitalist society you shouldn't replace free market policies with keynsian economics or communist policies (I know the media likes to say socialist agendas, but it's communism let's face it).

[coruscant000]

@DeathByTarantula Maybe, we should tax the wealthy since these so called "job creators" have not created jobs since the market downfall in 2008. What are they waiting for? They hide underneath this cloak of creating jobs, while getting richer off of the interest they collect. They want to cut loop holes? I just don't buy it. They need to be taxed at a higher rate and not live off the middle class.

[donochoajapan]

@coruscant000 The main problem with the liberal "tax the rich" argument is that those wealthy enough to be classified as "rich" in the US don't pay income taxes. They do not pay income taxes because they don't work for anybody else earning income. They usually pay capital gains taxes on capital that earns interest or profits. Capital gains tax rates are usually much lower than income tax rates since politicians on both sides of the fence won't raise them.

[coruscant000]

@donochoajapan They use the loopholes in our current tax system from paying the majority of their income taxes to the government. I'm no dummy, I use to do tax returns, some of my clients are wealthy with substantial income they create over the years. I just don't see this or any congress where they are going to cut the loopholes of our current system. They need to be taxed, there is no question about, but how to go about it, I don't know....

[BeardedWeirde]

@coruscant000 flat tax is worth a try. our tax code is so bad we have to hire people to do our taxes and then we still get it wrong, even our senators get it wrong.

[tdrml]

@coruscant000 Good arguments... They want to cut back funding on Edu to save money and make the schools use the money wisely. More money doesn't equal better edu... They never say don't tax the wealthy... If you listen the do want to get rid of loopholes by redefining the entire tax code. Obama is the one that appoints rich ppl that cheat (don't even bother with holes) on their taxes... And way to end it the classic liberal attack *relevant* name calling

[BeardedWeirde]

@coruscant000 so who do you trust in your voting? Do we need a history lesson here? Your statements to the GOP works for the DEMS as well. You know they cheat on taxes to right? You know our education in America is failing and we spend more than every country whipping are butts, right? Stop being a puppet for the far right and left folks, they are but the same in America. They wine and dine together. We expect rich dems and Reps to watch are backs?

[AceHoale]

So why would ANYONE elect you you gimp?

Or any of the other cuntidates?

Lack of a proper choice, is that it?

If he was a patriot he would excuse himself, but....

Peas.

[PatriotInChief]

Because Obama is "great" for the middle class

[PhilipPorter]

Remember, not one of these people are waging this battle so they can help you, they are doing it so they can help corporations, but ultimately themselves!

[uche007us]

@PhilipPorter true for all but one. The only one who did not support banker bailout, the one who did not and still does not support the wars that kill middle class children whil enriching the MIC that benefit from it. Sadly the dems are also corporatist, their party leader signed into law a govt loan to Solyndra that was initiated by the Bush admin. Establishment dem is just as bad as establishment republ;ican.

Vote 4 Paul or the dem version of him which I think is D. Kuch/Sanders

[pitter43]

@PhilipPorter Can you name one liberal that wants to get elected to help the people they're elected to represent? Not one.

[PhilipPorter]

@pitter43 Seeing as you ask, all those that voted for medicare which was a vote AGAINST corporate greed and a vote FOR poor people. All those that support welfare programs. Specifically Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, Gabi Gifford.

If your arguement is "your lot is no better than my lot" then that is a very poor standard to go by!

[pitter43]

@PhilipPorter Tell you what. Cut all their pay by 3/4, make the pay some of their premium health care ( liberals and republicans alike ) and see which run to support the people they represent. You think they're not alike? Start thinking.

[PhilipPorter]

@pitter43 You asked the question, I answered it. At least do me the favour of acknowledging the answer I gave you. Ignorance is not an argument.

No, I don´t think they are alike. I don`t say there aren`t corporate shills on both sides but I KNOW that Conservatives have the lions share.
