Grayson on Republican Presidential Candidates: "They're living in a dream world."

[JokerLurver]

*sigh* Delusional Republicans.... if only those two words DIDN'T go hand in hand. Then we might be getting somewhere.

[treid100182]

uhhhhhhhhh....

Do Republicans really ignore the 8 years under BUSH where they went along with the most expansive abuse of executive power in U.S. history?

[Imdroppingdimes]

@treid100182 Listen to Romney's stutter. He nearly admitted to it (last ten...uhh last three years.)

[bleedingxhearts2]

democrats nearly unanimously voted for the use of force in iraq

[Sora90Kairi]

We have Senator Bernie Sanders in the Senate fighting for the middle class and the Poor. We need to elect Alan Grayson in the House once again. We need to elect politicians that will actually affect change and help the American people. And BTW, Re-elect OBAMA 2012! Do we really want Herman Cain (or Mitt "Flip-Flop" Romney) to be the next president of the United States of America?

[jerrypecks]

Grayson 2016!!!!!



[SquirrelFromGradLife]

It would be so great if every democrat voter out there would change their voter registration in time for the republican primaries and then just vote for the most retarded republican candidate like Bachman. Not that I am afraid of democrats losing the election but it would highlight how retarded these people really are and how stupid and dangerous their ideas are.

[manonthemount]

Cain: Of course I still say that, listen to how many fools will applaud that nonsense

[teeterharris]

Speaking of living in a dream world... WE HAVEN'T HAD A FREE MARKET AS LONG AS WE'VE BEEN TAXED AND REGULATED. How did the Free Market not work when it never existed? I appreciate Grayson's work in trying to audit the Federal Reserve. That was the correct thing to do. I don't like Herman Cain either, but the 'new topping plan' comment was ignorant. Have some tact. Most people don't like bickering, which is why Perry is dropping steadily in polls.

[Jelly50cent]

I want tot know when Alan is going to run for the presidency. PLEASE

[DerrenBrown100]

Why is everyone obsessed with Ron Paul? The USA should be obsessed with Alan Grayson!!

[Newenlightenmentnow]

@DerrenBrown100 Exactly. Grayson has Ron Paul's integrity, but he also has actual knowledge of economics. Ron Paul wrote a book about economics, of which he's unqualified to write. To paraphrase "bones" from star trek "Damit Jim, he's a doctor, not an economist". So all he did is read some nonsense from the Austrian school of economics, which is never sited, because it doesn't work. Alan Grayson, however actually worked as an economist for 3 years. That makes his opinion more valid.

[Asher8328]

If Ron Paul had a heart, soul, and brain he still wouldn't be in the same class of candidate as Mr. Grayson.

[jeremyshambles]

a right honorable gentleman, the people need you in washington mr grayson, swiftly!!

[DoubleWW]

Free market was not keeping the housing bubble up, the fed was. The free market was trying to burst the bubble early to get rid of the malinvestment.

Grayson seems a bit lost on economics tbh

[weslenforever]

Costs also go up when you add a profit for some corporation to the bill.

[Asymmatrix]

Romney is the frothier frothy mixture.

[mjmanning123]

Look at all those clapping rich white people

[BornPatriot]

yea, Ron Paul could use you as a running mate.

[Stingerbillion]

I hope Grayson runs in 2016. He has potential to win. If he's not running, i will not vote.

[Stingerbillion]

Romney is moderate Republican. It's really sad he's selling himself and his principles to get votes. Pathetic. I feel sorry for Ron Paul, he's more sane than all of Republicans elected today, and he's not getting deserved attention. Btw, did you guys know Alan Grayson also is in favor of getting rid of Federal Reserve? He is.

[Stingerbillion]

None of these idiots gave any ideas on how they will do better than Obama. Their deluded plan is: more deregulation and more tax cuts.

[Charmer4856]

Cant believe all those damn dummys clapping in the audience. Its not like everyone pissed off their boss and got themselves fired. They got laid off!!!!

[cariboubill]

Alan Grayson makes more sense than any other politician. I'm on your side, Alan.

....Bill

[TehHermgirl]

And you called it all that time ago, Alan, when you said "The republicans *have* a healthcare policy for the poor...die quickly!" and those people in the crowd at the last GOP debate shouting "Let 'em die!" about the hypothetical uninsured 30 yr old.

You called it then, and you're The Man now, *please* run for president, we love you!!!

[mujerado]

Put them all together and they still don't equal a viable candidate.

[OtakuRebel]

The "free market" has had a decade of tax cuts and accelerating deregulation and neglect to create jobs and empower the people in the country. They have not. They have no obligation too. They would rather increase their short term profits than invest in the people.

Yes their profits go up. But what does it cost? Look around!

This "excessive regulation" is a scam to give them even more power to screw you over. This is now their country, not yours.

They said: "Fuck you America"

I say: "GTFO"

[Wooohooohooo]

3:53 Dear Herman Cain, you are discharge of your position for lacking a rational political figure& unqualified realistic political speech. Effective immediately, your term of employment at our Federal Reserve Bank as Chairman, has been terminated. Your last paycheck will be issued in two weeks, and your locker must be cleared out by the end of the day.

Regretfully,

We The People.

[draoi99]

This idea of "blame yourself if you're poor" goes right back to the social Darwinism of the 19th century gilded age.

[ubtri]

Please run for President, Grayson! You got my vote if you do.

[kazooga1234]

@ubtri he cant he wasnt born in america and i found that out from a TYT interview with him :(

[Wooohooohooo]

@kazooga1234 Are you certain, wasn't he born in the Bronx, New York?

[kazooga1234]

@Wooohooohooo i am sure he told TYT and said that he couldnt run for president eventhough a lot of people want him to and i could try to find that interview but it might be hard and it surprised me as well

[kazooga1234]

@Wooohooohooo when i looked it up on google it says what you did but i could have sworn that he said he wasnt born in america on TYT but i guess i could be wrong finding interviews is hard they talked to grayson so much i want him for president to or somebody like him who isnt a sellout

[TheMetalPerson]

@kazooga1234

He wouldn't be able to win anyway. He's an idiot when it comes to economics, and the majority of people don't like him. He can't even hold a seat in congress. What makes you think he can become president?

[kazooga1234]

@TheMetalPerson yes he could and would because he isnt an idiot he knows exactly what he is talking about and he knows facts and he only states facts and he knows the consitution unlike the republicunts and he isnt a sellout and that was because people where just pissed and he lives in a purple state you fucking moron a lot of republicans that shouldnt have won won because of anger

[Charmer4856]

@ubtri We need a Alan Grayson for California!!!

[ProudAtheist90]

I am getting tired of this Ron Paul obsession. He has said time and time again that he does not believe in separation of church and state...which would allow churches to make laws. Is that what you want? Do a search on some of the things he has said...you may change your mind.

[maddies1]

2:32 - the housing market

"and i don't think that the free market was what was keeping it up, the free market was what brought it down." very, very wrong!

it was government intervention what caused all the trouble.

-> /watch?v=4ECi6WJpbzE

[Will224000]

@maddies1 Because the Govt was paid off by the Banks to shoot down Glass- Steagall and let the Wolves of Wall Street loose on the People.

[MrGiggity890]

grayson says the free market brought down the housing market....yes....free markets burst all gov't created bubbles....that's the point of the free market ya tool....

[TheMetalPerson]

8 dollars an hour to deliver pizza is a great job with great tips and provides good pizza to everyone in the community! It's a great job for teenagers and immigrants looking to start their lives!

It just goes to show that Alan Grayson is totally out of touch with reality.  Those savages, charging a whole 15 dollars for their delicious pizza while providing great jobs. Why don't they just pay minimum wage if they're so greedy?

[123gwf]

I'm pretty sure Romney didn't have to fake it.

It really says something about the people around him that a guy like Romney seems like a reasonable person.

[optionsupdate]

under cain's 999 plan buffett tax rates falls from 17% to 1% or less

[repfreedomforce]

Ron Paul black out continues...

Thanks for nothing Alan. Why didn't you mention Ron Paul? The only one on that stage to bring up the war, militarism, debt, collapse, corportism, national sovereignty, Liberty in general... these ideas did not come up in the questions, but rather when Ron Paul brought them up, and he always got strong applause for doing so.

[MrGiggity890]

@repfreedomforce agreed....RON PAUL 2012

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce have you Paul zombies thought about what kind of congress you wanted? NO! you are too obessed with electiing a messiah that can't win a primary that is rigged against him. By the time you do think about it the democratic primaries will be over and we will be left with bluedog dems vs warmonering republicans and very few of the congressional races a and maybe one or two senate races will have a true populist as the democrat. Ron Paul revolution is a scam n you r the suckers 

[repfreedomforce]

@captcrais101 It seems to me that if you support anyone besides Ron Paul, it is YOU who is the zombie, blindly supporting and following status quo politicians to this nations demise. Good luck with that. How has that worked out so far?

I support Paul, not as a messiah, but as a principled, & consistent philosopher and educator. I don't think Ron Paul has magical powers, but the philosophy he advocates is precisely people need to understand right now.

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce in 08 Ron was all about taking voteds from Dennis K. Now he is about taking voters away from legislative democratic primaries. Paulers don't consider what kind of congress they want. They are only focused on the president and not on the congress. I am voting third party in the pres. I am voting dem in the rest of the races and participating in the primaries. Ron is about dereg, cut domestic spending, cut taxes. All this will not create jobs. Ron would end the wars...

[repfreedomforce]

@captcrais101 "I am voting dem in the rest of the races" So you vote straight-up party lines rather than by principle? How is that NOT status quo? How is that any better than a Republican that does the same thing on the Republican side. Cheers for voting 3rd party though. I consider that a "none of the above" type of vote, and for that, much respect. Take care my friend. And please reconsider your love for the state.

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce Ron would end the patriot act and bring back Habeas Corpus. He is against free trade unlike his son who voted for the last three agreements that were passed. But he would not bring back Glass Steagal which would break up the banks. The Sherman anti-trust act would breakup the monopolies but Ron has no support. He believes in the lie that the private sector polices itself. This depression is proof it can't do that.Too much privatizing. Mild Private sector gov is mild fascism

[repfreedomforce]

@captcrais101 The patriot act has given the executive branch unconstitutional, dictatorial powers to harass, spy on, detain, or imprison American citizens. Further, it was used by Obama to justify the assassination of an American citizen. You support this?! Habeas Corpus provides a legal barrier for the individual against this type of government over-reach. You're against this? Paul supports free-trade in the true since of the words. The free-trade agreement has been used to suppress free trade.

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce Grayson is not the Status quo. Neither is Sanders. Zombies do not read voting records, campaign donor reports or who is corrupt according to C.R.E.W.'s website. I do read this stuff. I am very informed. I have valid reasons for not supporting the cult of Paul. I want to defeat Scott Brown. I want to vote in the senate primary. I don't agree with Ron's record of votes totally and I don't like him. THat is another reason.

[repfreedomforce]

@captcrais101 Is Grayson or Sanders running for president? I was referring specifically about who you choose to support for president. Which candidate, besides Ron Paul, is NOT the status quo? I don't appreciate Grayson's or Sander's partisan rhetoric, but they supported Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill and helped create a powerful, bipartisan coalition, and for that I give them respect. There is nothing status quo about Federal Reserve transparency.

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce there isn no third party running in Mass for US senate. A third party vote will not get rid of Scott Brown. Second I have read the open secret campaign donor reports on Tom Conroy and Elizabeth Warren and they are not owned by big time corporations or banks unlike Scott who is totally owned by wallstreet. In fact the only Mass dem running for US senate this year that is owned by the banks, Alan Khazei, dropped out already because of Warren's run.

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce I have voted for John Kerry's Primary challenger when he ran for reelection, Ed O'reilly. Not only did I vote for Ed I campaigned my heart out for him. He won 32% of the vote which means he still lost but it was still a good run for someone like him. The primary vote is really the only vote that maters in a race like that because when Nov. comes by you are left with the sellout republican and maybe a sellout democrat if he is just as bought off like Kerry or Coakley were.

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce the free market policing itself is status quo.That is Ron Paul. Along with the idea that voting reublican, no matter who it is is useless to me. I will never support him. All republicans are sellouts including Ron. If you were to say that Obama is too, you would get no disagreement from me. I plan to support third party for president.

[captcrais101]

@repfreedomforce I am more concerned about the Senate race in my state. I want to get rid of Scott Brown. Therefore I can't support Ron and vote in the dem primary to help Elizabeth Warren or State Rep Tom Conroy win the race anyway. So to me, forget Ron.

[optionsupdate]

Grayson is awesome, i wonder if the bankers conspired to topple him and replace him with the criminal

[JoeyPencils]

it was Glass-Steagal repeal not lack of Dodd-Frank

[jjcale1111]

@JoeyPencils You sir are correct...

[defect530]

ron paul ruled that debate.

[M0US3P0T4TO]

@defect530 He usually does.

[kazooga1234]

@defect530 ya and he wants to kill everybody and i can prove that the easiest way to prove that he wants to kill everybody is just by him wanting to get rid of the EPA and FDA and its sad that the one who is winning is either corportist robot romney or murder everybody paul

[defect530]

@kazooga1234 hie your wife and hide your kids.

[kazooga1234]

@defect530 or just dont vote for ron paul or any republican for that matter its not like ron paul is so much of a creeper he wants the government in your house just allow states to be in womens uterises

[chickenlips3000]

Those Tea Zombies in the audience are scary as hell.

Herman Cain: Poor and middle class people suck!

Tea Zombies: YAY! Braaaainsssss, oh, lord, BRAAAAIIINNNNSSSS.

[MrGiggity890]

@chickenlips3000 hahah! nice!

[cheguevara1970]

1ST!
