@lionel200000000 Correct. Get out of my uniform for unofficial business thx

[lionel200000000]

This is bullcrap. No one should be using their uniform for a political purpose. You would think an E6 would know better.

[shagster1970]

@lionel200000000 Why not? - he probably earnt it.

[lionel200000000]

@shagster1970 No, you don't "earn" the right to wear a uniform for politcal purposes. If he retired, he has earned the right to wear it at approved times, like weddings, some ceremonies, funerals. The armed forces have NO business being involved in politics. Thats how you end up in coups.

Totally Awesome !!!

Ron Paul is a Republican and not bought yet!

(which hopefully never happens).

So not all Reps. are puppets.

Obama took more from Wall St. than McCain.

"It wasn't the banks it was DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS that did all of this. Get a clue."

Wow, just wow. Watch Fox much?

Listen, both Democrats and Republicans are to blame as both parties are beholden to their corporate masters.

More than 84 percent of the subprime mortgages came from private lending institutions in 2006.  Can't blame government for that.

CAN"T FIND JOB. BETTER BLAME WALL STREET.

[atxvideotest]

@iamjafoo WallStreet wrecked the economy, that isn't for debate. Now we have a 4 to 1 ration of job seekers to job openings, so yes, Wall Street is to blame.

[iamjafoo]

@atxvideotest How exactly did wall street wreck the economy? I've never exactly gotten a straight answer. I'm not trying to pick a fight, I just really want to know. And none of the protesters seem to know either.

[atxvideotest]

@iamjafoo Youtube won't let me post links, but google this: "causes of the united states housing bubble wiki" and read up.

Check the bottom of the wiki for all the references.

Right on John!

[TheRokitLady]

This is my son. I'm SO proud of him. I just can't find the words to express how wonderful it is to be his Mom! He is one of 4 sons, second oldest. He is amazing and is a loving and caring person. I am a teacher and Jon's younger brother is also going to college to be a teacher. YOU ROCK, SON!! WE are the 99%

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

Im also a former Marine, so please take the fucking glasses off. You're pissed at the wrong people 99%'ers. It wasn't the banks it was DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS that did all of this. Get a clue.

[allgoo19]

@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 "wasn't the banks it was DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS .."

John Buhler is right, you are wrong.

Banks paid *some* Democs, and *all* Repubs to get rid of the regulations they didn't want.

Banks are the one calling the shots.

Tell me what Democs did wrong that banks and big corporates didn't pay them to do.

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

@allgoo19

Um Fannie and Freddy? Franks and Dodd? ever heard of them?

[allgoo19]

@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 "Um Fannie and Freddy? Franks and Dodd? ever heard of them?'

Yes, and what about it?

Any relation to your original comment?

[Raisingeyebrows]

Thank you John for your service. I hope one day we can resolve these issues because it has to stop somewhere and now is a good time. Thanks for speaking out for the people.
