Ask a Republican - Big Oil vs Poor People

[mixmastermeeks]

The guy is funny. Perfectly fair satire of Republicans. But it is shitty to write in the description that this is really a congressman from Ohio. Liberals just can't tell the truth.

[owlandtree]

Ignorance is bliss Narcissism. Until we focus on eliminating ALL poverty (like a civilized society should)in our country the USA does not deserve to be restored to former S. Power status.If we can spend Trillions of dollars dropping bombs on Iraq and Afghanistan we can afford to feed our own voters who need it. The poor didn't tank our economy and embarrass our nation, they simply do not have the access to resources to do that. It was the rich, politicians and big business. Deflection.

[akori18]

This is why he's a FORMER Congressman. XD

[crossafix]

Poor people don't pay taxes. If the oil companies pay more taxes, they will just pass it on to us, higher gas prices. Oil companies only make 2-3% in profit where banks make 30%. I'm glad a capitalist company can bring gas to market at half what they pay in Europe. Oh and they reinvest their money to create jobs. Or tax them and let the govermant waste the money,

[LeBaronDePropane]

@crossafix HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHA!

[TheArabguy45]

@crossafix gas may be cheaper here but gas companies lobby congress to slow down the importing of technologies that can increase our gas mileage. Europeans may pay more for gas, but they fill up less often. We still pay more than Europe for our gas. Research before you spew.

[mixmastermeeks]

@TheArabguy45 So I guess if we didn't have a government bureaucracy capable of limiting imported technologies we wouldn't have a problem would we?

[ericzum]

This guy sucks.

[GorillaPHX]

Satire or not this guy is a douche.

[OrganNLou]

"the GOP is fast becoming regionalized below the Mason-Dixon line and increasingly associated with some of the South's worst ideas."

[AssistingHealth]

@OrganNLou America: "Wah Wah WAHHHHHH"

[Vhalado]

Dis Guy cld suck a DICK =_=

PUTO

[crustycrayon]

How is this a liberal audience? they are all laughing at the jokes.

[crustycrayon]

@crustycrayon ha, he fooled me sooo well, because he is so close to what republicans truly believe.

[sactowncr1minal]

this is not satire its actuallity.

[hempartist420]

satire or not this is fucked up because this is republcans to a T

[Cuddlebunzzz]

i'm so glad that this is just satire. i heard him on TYT today and was afraid that he was really a congressman. the fact that i had a hard time telling that it was satire just shows how accurate his portrayal of far-right conservatives is.

[Doughnutchef]

I think the guy was just being cocky,we all do that,but not at the expense of poor people.The truth is poor people don't pay the bulk of income taxes,the rich and middle class do!But,poor people suffer from the rich in many many ways,some unintentionally.This country has many things,but honestly i think they need to spend more time on compassion

[HistorysMysterys]

Just as long as he isn't serious.

[crustycrayon]

what a fucker.

[jazzbo66zz]

We must carefully maintain free market mechanisms to insure the elimination of the unwanted and unfit. Society should never have been allowed to care for them in the first place. It is a scientific fact that social progress interferes with the balance of nature. The unfit must be prevented from reproducing and die out. If we allowed the free market to do its work without government interference we would soon defeat the inferior races and be their masters as God intended. Das Kapital Uber Alles!

[FortMillstone]

Hmm... WOW!!!

[hoyle1911]

Parody is important. Shows how absurd the conservative position is on gays and corporate welfare. On tax breaks though, the poor do get relief. They only get taxed 0%-10% of income, and have social services that are paid for by the middle and upper classes.

[utprince23]

Everyone needs to relax. This is a character created by Paul Gilmartin. He's been on Adam Carolla's podcast a couple times and he's the same guy who host's "dinner and a movie" on TBS. It's a joke, please take it as such.

[DanNinjaMan]

what a fucking bigot

[AstroMen2911]

This guy is a jerk. What an idiot.

[Coolflames101]

I'm pretty sure its stand up of some sort lol

[AstroMen2911]

I hope so, otherwise he just made a fool out of himself.

[Eirelav111]

Was this a comedy act, or was this guy serious? i've never heard of him.

[Hostile]

Paul Gilmartin is the man's name, he's a brilliant comedian.

[paintballmoreyo]

Listen to him on the Adam carolla podcast, he hates gays , hates jews, and his kids are fukced up, one mutilates cats and he thinks its ok

[Deadleader555]

People are to fucking stupid to understand sarcasm -.-'..

[hiiamrick]

I bet his jokes were funny a few years ago? But today since so many others have gone to the good ole unemployment line.

I guess the joke is on him?

I still got mine!

[arkhampatient76]

this is funny as hell and 'm a Republician. I do have a sense of humor. Whoever gets offended by this just has a stick in their ass.

[powervoltage]

His name is Paul Gilmartin.

[hangdsobs]

Anyone who wants to know the REAL truth about Bush's career in the ...Guard?

Call you local Air Guard unit and tell them you want to be a pilot....Like Bush did. Tell them you have a college degree with a low GPA.

then listen to what you have to do to JUST GET ON A LIST!... to go to Officer''s

s school FIRST! Every ROTC college grad & Res officer would be AHEAD of you.

+ When you get enough "time" in, you ask for "inactive" status, it's automatic...or was then when I was in it too.

[steev0jackson]

i wouldn't say bush served much of anything, thats like saying the fat retarded kid participated in gymnastics.

[steev0jackson]

what a douchey nigger.

[EvanLarimore]

THIS IS FUNNY and Im lib.

[simont7]

PEOPLE he is a comedian!

[theLement5]

this can't possibly be a former congressman

[nennothist]

Conservativesaregood who do you think serves in the military? Is it people from Bush's soc/eco class? I don't think so. So don't ever say poor people don't give something to this country. The give the only thing they have left that is of any value. It's called their life.

[dantelabon]

If he is not a comedian, he needs to do us all a fovor and take himself out of the gene pool. Walking Douchebag.

[Conservativesaregood]

The poor peopel are the ones who are messing up the country why should they get a tax break

[bluejulian]

He's a christian but he makes fun of poor people? oh yeah, that's what christianity is now.

[YouuTuubeVideozz]

why do people like this be allowed to exist

hthey should be extint just like their lord nazi hitler

to be honest i hate blond peopel cos most of them are racist pink skined feake washed out yellow haired nazi fuck

and if u were wondering...i am not proud to be white and i will not endorse evil

[jon0738]

This a joke just like Colbert. Nothing he is saying is serious. For someone to take any of this serious is moronic, closed-minded, and ignorant. He is doing a satire on the media perception of republicans. No one actually thinks this way it is a joke.

[dantelabon]

Oh yes..repugs DO think this way. Where have you been?

[redphoakis]

great stuff, at least this guy isnt affraid to tell the truth

[Vunhopper]

This guy should be beat down

[padude64]

I say put the people responsible for price gouging to death! That will be a great example!

[weird0bot]

this is funny.

[ThePinballEffect]

This is satire right? I mean...this guy can't be serious.

[Roth517]

@ThePinballEffect It's comedian Paul Gilmartin and, yes, it's satire.

[itpduder]

@ThePinballEffect, go, Dick, go!!!!

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!!

Last I saw, it's true, my twin turbo diesel truck-boat-truck does NOT run on poor people. It runs on natural substances like gas. It came straight from the ground. How bad can the stuff be? Straight from mother nature!!!!

[halorulesyourface]

@ThePinballEffect it might as well be real

[desertcafe]

Oily. The man disgusts me.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

no shit man........but just think this is what most of them if not all laugh about behind closed doors

[Falloutmoon]

"homosexuality takes the dignity out of killing "...awesome :)

[ZGGuesswho]

It's like the Colbert Report...but hideously real. I found myself wondering if this was satire upon every response.

[bs2174]

A repercussion of Hillary taxing "Big Oil" would be that she would be taxing the investors of "Big Oil." We the people would be taxed once again, and with her brood of viper lobbyists at her disposal you can be certain this would bring about another round of birthpains, the first of which was brought about by the (One Who Should Not Be Named.)

[catbuffalo]

What if we regulated companies to put more in stocks? Some how i think you middle class masochistic republicans would find a way to refute that too.

[bs2174]

I support the Fairtax which for the most part right now both parties are refuteing. The embedded taxes and corprate taxes would go away insted of being rolled over into everone elses taxes. Read the Fairtax book and go to fairtax dot org.

[gdogg2000]

Hilarious! Typical Republican...

[GeneKalmes]

How can you not find him funny...Humor is freedom...only by attempting to understand how other people think can you truly be a righteous judge of character...Both parties have been infiltrated by control freaks...we have to learn to judge individuals...Humor is a sign of a higher intelligence...It employs multi-layered thinking patterns that don't necessarily reflect an exact perspective...so there.

[karendavies1234]

Very funny,

And if you add on the cost of securing the route of oil out of the middle east, well then I'm not sure how much a gallon anyone is paying really

[schroats]

$4 gas in some places while big oil companies make record profits? Enough is enough!

Congress votes soon on whether to make price gouging a federal crime...let's tell them we demand action.

SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS:

[moseley101]

America needs more of this kind of humour

[ArchiAngel]

"Big Oil" is Federally Subsidized and without that suoort it costs "Big Oil" $5-$7 a gallon to Pump and Ship the Oil to the wholesaler/refiners. With Federal Help "Big Oils" so called "Billions in profits" is 10 cents a gallon. Wholesalers set the market value after their costs of refining and shipping and storing and they also are the one taxed by federal,state,city and county governments and pass the cost to Gas Station owners that make 2 cents a gallon profit on a good day

[ArchiAngel]

Ooops, Support not Suoort...lol. In any case "Big Oil" is the Federal Government's bigest Welfare recipient that SHOULD be cut off and let Gas go up to it's true Market Value of $15-$27 a gallon easy just because it will be funny to see all the people bitching now about $4 a gallon while still putting gas because that is the type of Car they CHOOSE to drive cause it stll is the most Economical ones to use.

[Crusae]

His mom spanked/scared the gay right out to his mouth. He's good and gay.

[decriticize]

Is this supposed to be funny? /sigh

[BellaHellfire]

Yes, it's supposed to be funny. If you hadn't caught on to the joke, this guy isn't really a republican congressman, he's a liberal comedian.

[moseley101]

fool!

[kyoput]

Jesus Christ this dude is funny

[Imerica1]

"The last time I checked, my car didn't run on poor people!" LOL

[filmphobia]

Super. Very funny.

[cxcoulte]

This guy is quite funny, and has good timing.
