  • this guy is my new hero!

  • ANTHONY WEINER 2012!!

    

  • I love this guy, I hope CNN or some station has the balls to give him his own show!

  • This guy is fucking awesome lol... and too the people who were saying it was a bad thing that he did this? I think you're stupid lol, He was just saying that the Republicans refuse to follow the rules.

  • What a douche bag. This theatrical display doesn't help in the passage of legislation. All this does is create PERSONAL animosity between lawmakers and prevent any cooperation. Oh but Weiner thought he was so special --- and pride goeth before the fall.

  • so happy this nitwit is gone. what a weiner.

  • I just ordered this book for my AP Government and Economics teacher.

  • The senate mouse... mice... the senate mice-ez... yeah

  • I am not condoning Anthony Weiner's actions because what he did in my mind is indefensible. However, I do like him as a politician because of what he fought for. I also know enough about him to say that he'll will be back on television soon because he is not an average politician and was a media savvy politician. Speeches like this one did not make him too many friends in Washington,so for that reason, he was ultimately forced out of office.

  • Next, he's gonna read from 'House Mouse, Trouser Mouse'! Keep your distance, kids, it has pop-ups!

  • Maybe if Weiner knew the Constitution, he wouldn't be in favor of a disastrous health care bill that MANDATES that EVERY AMERICAN BUY A SPECIFIC PRODUCT. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that says the power-hungry government has the right to make you buy ANYTHING! Maybe 'House Mouse Senate Mouse' didn't cover that part of the Constitution, but this sarcastic loser should take a moment or two to read the Constitution if he feels he needs to throw it in the face of others, or just shut up!

  • The problem with american people is that instead of supporting politicians based on their stances, they often judge them on their personal lives.I know plenty of candidates from the GOP that have committed actions far worse than this.

  • @maxwoob How many GOP presidents have been impeached for scandals like this? How many GOP writers of the tax code have been nailed for cheating on their taxes, yet get to continue bankrolling on the taxpayers' dime? "instead of supporting politicians based on their stances, they often judge them on their personal lives",...... that's exactly how Obama won the election. It was WAY more like American Idol than simply electing the most qualified person to be the leader of the free world!

  • Comment removed

  • this is a public flogging by illegitimate government of a politician that stood up for the people's interests

  • telecommunications company domestic spying for corporate scum that think they have the right to govern.

    why won't the press tell us who Weiner's carrier is that allowed such a breach of customer security?

  • People are so fucking judgmental. This guy is hilarious, he's clearly intelligent and a good congressman...unfortunately, he's only a man. Given this limitation, he will make mistakes. Apparently the rest of us are immune to this, or at least the neo-cons are. McCormickn, I don't understand how Anthony Weiner's sleeziness is at all relevant to what happens in the rest of the world. Oh, and there's plently of reason to hate the military...they kill people. That's their nature.

  • Maybe he has a poem about about his weiner that he reads to his twitter friends?

  • press 2 for weiner strocking his dick

  • US press is a GOP dependentd

    the most highly paid welfare class in the country

  • famale recruits and cadets are raped daily

    but the press has no interest in this

    it's sex between consenting adults that object to a corporate dictatorship that interests them

  • @sonbarably

    You can't seriously be defending this guy. I don't understand how what happens in the rest of world is at all relevant to Anthony Weiner's sleeziness. Except for the fact that you're obviously liberal and have an overall hatred of the military (for no good reason). Sex between consenting adults is not the question. It's just dirty for married men to be sending explicit pictures to young women online. Made worse by lying. He didn't do anything illegal, just REALLY REALLY greasy.

  • Well its too bad the RAT FROM NEW YORK, Weiner, will no longer be able to talk about the Senate and House mouse. The POS will be booted and hopefully we won't hear from him again!

  • man, what a douchebag

  • @fasfsdfasd it all depends on what I can call the "President's" success or "congress's" success. Congress writes the bills and passes them so i dont know I can really call any bill he passed "his" success, so that takes alot off the table. Bin Laden was definitely his success since he is responsible for putting the taske force back together. I guess you could say he did help to clean up americans image, but that is more of requirement than a victory, it all just depends on how you look at it.

  • Anthony's WEINER is more popular than Anthony Weiner

  • @fasfsdfasd what is up with you people, You dont have to agree with me to have civil conversation,

    as we can see, there is no right or wrong in this situation, just a different way of doing thing. Thats why what I see as a success is not what you see as a success.

  • THE GENTLEMAN IS RIGHT IN SITTING DOWN!

  • The fact that Weiner did this isn't as big a deal as the fact that he went before the cameras and lied about it like a 12 yr old lying to his mom about the Playboy under his bed. Not only that, but the truculent, and insulting way in which he lied proves how immature this guy really is. They say he's brilliant........hmmmm, ya right!!

  • I wonder if a cigar was being used?

  • @fasfsdfasd you and the other idiot are the only tards on this video.

    You are over playing the office of presidency , i bet you are in another video saying Obama is puppet of the rest of the democrats, you people are hypocritical. And by the way, there is a difference between being about to hardline some one and actually being able to force them to do something.

  • @fasfsdfasd Thanks for the vote of confidence.

  • This is funny, all the stupid liberals YouTubers that defended Anthony Weiner, before his apology, cursing & swearing at us here on YOUTUBE, calling us liars - now when we want to call them out, clicking reply to send them a message saying that now they are a laughing stock pile of crap for defending this pervert - their account is gone, LOL. So funny! When the crap hits the fan, LIBERALs are the first to duck for cover.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor i HOPE your ignorance isnt directed at me .

  • With phone sex you don't have to worry about getting a girl pregnant both you and female win It's a trend with people not kids people it's called Imaginary sex

  • Comment removed

  • Another liberal hypocrite !

  • @sardanapolis How is he? Oh, wait he's not.

  • @sardanapolis Another one of the "chosen people" supposedly with glorious path to morality, and honor! - His crotch brought him early political mortality! - Like Eliot Spitzer his idol, and mentor. Both human thrash.

  • @Drwilliamsm45 Says the man who's fuhrer followed the gloriuos path

  • @dsjj251 GAS will be $5 a gallon by the end of this summer. Avg car has 20 gallons per tank, how much is that a week dumbass? Have you heard of the BUSH tax cut, which OBAMA reluctantly extended? Obama printing money to BAILOUT the UNIONs have devalued the $, so its worth as much as the paper its printed on let alone worth a barrel of oil. STATEs like CA are bankrupt by OBAMA UNIONs, so they need the high GAS PRICES(State, FED, gas tax), higher tuition, property tax, to make up the deficit.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor again, you blame Obama for things the president has no power over.

    the power to make Laws and print money lie with in Congress, not the President . California was bankrupt long before Obama even took Office, how you can even try to blame that state being broke on him is beyond stupid.

    and obama hasnt raised Fed gas tax, and if the individual states do it, then that is on them, not the president.

    again, Obama controls nothing you named in either of those post.

  • @dsjj251 OBAMA democratic goons whore themselves out to the UNIONs have bankrupt CA. The democratic congress under BUSH, have passed all those UNION entitlements, which has bankrupt this country into a RECESSION, & blame BUSH for it. While OBAMA made it worst with QE1, QE2, with trillions of $ to bailout the UNIONs & the BANKs. OBAMA is a UNION supporter. OBAMA BAILOUT GM, GE, & the banks AIG, GOLDMAN, which the UNIONs have their pensions & deposits with TAXPAYer revenue.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor bailing out those companies has nothing to do with unions, google the companies you just named, they employ around 3 percent of all americans. if they go under, unemployment goes up to 12/13% and you think that is fine ?, by the way, most of them have paid back when they were given.

    and maybe you should should do a little more research on who passed union entitlements.

  • You are a dumbass, morons like you cannot read. The unemployment rate for people for young adults from 16 to 24 year old is 46.6% just released this week by Dept. of Labor. If u factor in real unemployment, like kids that stopped looking for work or those that cannot find work it statistically close to 75%.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor Ok, what is your point ? and how is it that you say i cant read, when you never posted that information. all you said was unemployment is at 50% for teens and young adults, i simply said i am part of the other percentage that has a job.

    we aren arguing over what the percentages are, You said i dont have a job and i do, that is where you fail because youre now trying to change your argument to something irrelevant to the conversation. you are a true idiot.

  • @dsjj251 You are an idiot that saying guess what I am part of the 50 that is employed. Saying it with such pride & stupidity. That is abyssal % number for our younger generation. FAIL or not, you & President OBAMA is still an idiot for the other 50 percent not are not employed.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor wow, you are a dumbass.

    you said you dont believe i have a job, all i said was i am part of the population that does, thats not a pride thing you simple minded dumbass, its refuting your ignorance.

    and LOL @ " you & President OBAMA is still an idiot ", if your going to insult me, atleast do it right. And how exactly is unemployment at 50% for teens my fault or Obama's for that matter, i would love an explanation of that ?

  • "And how exactly is unemployment at 50% for teens my fault or Obama's for that matter, i would love an explanation of that?" Speaking like a true dumbass, how do you like OBAMA's hope and change? The younger generation that voted for OBAMA are now unemployed by OBAMANOMICS? They enter college in 2008, & will be in debt by the OBAMA UNIONs with no JOBs in 2012. IDIOTS like you voted for OBAMA into office, along with all the democratic clowns to the state legislators.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor im the dumbass, yet your own post proves you are a dumbass.

    Obama was elected in 2008, i was 16 at the time, I didnt vote for him dumbass, so you ever answered my question of how it is my fault.

    And you never answered how its Obama's fault either, You say Union this and Union that, But Obama's union jobs have nothing to do with the the teen population as less than 5% of teens are part of a union.

    you have destroyed your own argument DUMBASS. You are a stupid bitch.

  • @dsjj251 Again, you are dumbass, you only worry about yourself. Im talking about the college kids that voted for OBAMA since they got into college in 2008, you keep worry about yourself which is typical of liberal ass stupid kids like yourself. The kids I see in my college class are going to graduate with no JOBs due to OBAMA catering to the UNIONs that has squash & taxed the private sector so that there is no private sector job growth. OBAMA taxed their parents to pay off the UNION deficit.

  • @dsjj251OBAMA has ballooned our total unfunded liability of debt to 61 TRILLION with his OBAMAcare, & printing money to BAILOUT UNIONs & the Banks while raising TAXes to small businesses & the middle class which are under water with their mortgages due to all the TAXes passed by OBAMA democratic clowns in the STATE & with no JOBs in the private sector, so families are out of work. While his UNION cronies spend & live in the lap of luxury driving up inflation.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor are you really that fucking stupid because you are acting like you are

    "EngineerDoctor", HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA,

  • @dsjj251 Keep laughing dumbass. Speak volumes about your ignorance.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor LOL, my ignorance ? you are the one who keeps saying I think only of my self when you keep talking about personal experiences about me having a job or my ability to vote at the time. You showed that you have a dumbed down intelligence.

    the worst thing is that you seem like an intelligent person, but instead of looking at the facts, you are more worried about winning an argument. Why are you blaming Obama for the problems of Congress, you never answered that question .

  • FORD did not get BAILOUT. Would u like WALMART, TARGET, or APPLE, to go bankrupt, than PRINT money to BAIL themselves out, & on top of that TAX you for the rest of your life, to pay for their workers pensions & health benefits? STATE employees represent less than 5% of work force in CA. But the 95% of us work as their slaves. The UNIONs backed by OBAMA, have bankrupt the company that feed them, & they go to OBAMA or ask the TAXPAYER to pay more.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor You realize that Bush had a 700 billion dollar bailout passed before he left office right? why arent you mentioning that. and all union works arent state workers, so what is your point with the 5% and 95% comments.

  • @dsjj251 Thanks for making my point dumbass, I did not like it when BUSH passed the 700 billion financial BAILOUT, cause by the UNIONs entitlements crushing the private sector, enacted by the state legislators, bankrupting GM, & state budgets. But OBAMA stimulus package, plus QE1 & QE2, is will over trillion dollars. But BUSH is no longer our President. OBAMA printed all this money, & our economy is still stagnate & unemployment is still over 9%.

  • He is simply genius :D

  • @Greenslime300 The only genius about him is his pervertedness. Or lack thereof.

  • I hope weiners state throws that bum out and the humiliated wife needs to do the same. I feel sorry for her and children. His credibility is shot. Well it has been, he's a lib... Clinton, Edwards, all Kennedies, Arnold who is a hollywood lib at heart now weiners. The list goes on and on. Funny all Obama supporters. Lies lies lies lies. I hope fox news tears him a new one. Weiner gate I like watergate has been solved. Now where is the real birth certificate. Ha ha ha ha ha

  • @klst56 you are a dumbass on about 10 levels

    1. they dont have any kids

    2. sending pictures to other who arent your wife is not grounds for dismissal

    3.and LMFAO at you acting like Dems are the only ones who cheat, 3 of the republican dumbasses actually cheated on their wives, and with men.

    4. you fail hard.

  • A perverted scumbag, just like the Kennedy's, & corrupt like the UNIONs & OBAMA.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor  yo mama is corrupt

  • @dsjj251 I am an orphan dumbass.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor  so are half the people you just named, dont talk shit on the internet if you cant take it.

  • @dsjj251 I do not talk shit; Anthony Weiner, the Kennedy's, Bill Clinton, Edward, the UNIONs & OBAMA stupidity does all the talking for me. You are 20 the last time I check your profile. You probably still live at home, running up your parents credit cards. And have no idea how the real world works.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor Yep,im 19, i live at home, i have a job as well as going to college and I pay bills, i vote and pay taxes, how exactly is that me not know how the real world works ?

  • What is your job? major? You are only 19, so making about $8/hr, in CA, you will be taxed almost a 1/3 of your salary due to FEDs & the state tax by democratic idiots. So you bring home about $5/hr. Working 20 hrs a week, than you barely make 100 a week. Gas, is almost 100 dollars that means you have $0 bucks left in your pocket thanks to OBAMA. With tuition costing $30K a year, your parents have to pick up the tab, on top of their other TAXes, which you like to give to OBAMA.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor I live in alabama, i make 12.35, my major is Business administration , I am on a scholarship, so all that is paid for. I work at the beach so i take the Bus, not my car.

    Gas is almost a full dollar cheaper in my state( or atleast where i stay) compared to California. and Its summer, I work a 32 hour week( it varies).

    by the way, Tax laws actual gave any one making less tan 15 dollars an hour a tax break, so where did you get your information ?

  • @dsjj251 Business major? Thats a basket weaving major. In CA, the STATE tax rate is 10%, on top of Federal, which is 20%. That makes it close to a third of your income. For small businesses in CA it could be almost double that due to fines, fees, permits & TAXes. The unemployment rate for teenagers & young adults is over 50% right now. So I highly doubt that you are employed. Let alone being paid $12.35 for a high school education, when college grads right now cannot even find a job for $10/hr.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor wow, you doubt im employed ? LMFAO, ok dude, there is no need to even argue with you about this any more.

    but i will leave you with this, i have had this job since march 2008( my 16th birthday), I gotten raises, i didnt start off at 12.35, i think it was like 8.90 when i started. the place where i work is next to a concert venue, so its always busy.

    and can you not read your own post, you said the unemployment rate is at 50%, well guess what im part of the 50 with a job.

  • @dsjj251 LoL, you are the 50% with a job. Who cares about the rest, speaking like a true OBAMA supporter. What a dumbass. You work at a concert venue, basically a food stand or gift store. Thats great, those are the kind of JOBS that America needs right now. You probably belong to a UNION, good luck paying for the rest of tuition. You probably graduate with $50,000 of debt. Dont quit your job because there will be no jobs left by the time u graduate.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor first off, I never said i dont care about the rest.

    you said you dont believe i have a job because there is 50% unemployment with teens, i simply stated that i am part of the other 50% that does.

    and i already told you my classes are paid for by a scholarship. but considering you couldnt comprehend the first part about me simply saying i have a job i doubt you can comprehend what a scholarship is.

    you continue to call me a dumbass, but the only dumbass is you.

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor and LOL at you saying Gas is 100 dollars, WTF LOL. And even if it was , how can you blame any of that on the current president. the current tax laws where passed by Bush 2( yea, thats a big whole in your entire argument)

  • Comment removed

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor  you like that word dumbass dont you.

    well #1, if you dont like the bush tax cuts, then why are you arguing agaisnt the people trying to repeal them

    2. Gas prices have nothing to do with the administration, you are blaming Obama for something no president has ever had control over.

    3. Obama does not print money, the Fed does, which still take an act of Congress , which AGAIN Obama does not control

    you blame Obama for alot of things you should be blaming Congress for

  • There once was a congressman name Weiner,

    Who had a very contentious demeanor.

    He snapped a pic of his prick,

    and sent it to this chick.

    Now his career has been taken to the cleaners.

  • I'm not political or a democrat but I love this guy. He is so right

  • I'm not political or a democrat but I love this guy.

  • You idiots are the biggest bunch of misinformed cunts I have ever encountered. You idiots just lost your 4th 5th 6th and 8th amendments, and you fucking imbeciles are worried over a picture of a Crotch? You morons are a fucking joke! No wonder why this country is in the shit hole its in! Yet you retards are allowed to vote, Tragic!

  • What a schmuck. I hope Weinergate bites this pathetic piece of shit right in the ass. I've got nothing but contempt for the brain dead voters that are responsible for this rat bastard.

    God bless America, God save this once great republic and God save Israel.

  • @GutpileCharlie God does not exist and if he or she did exist, why would he or she save a country that murders innocent people?

  • @deeppurple28 What can I say? You are a miserable, pathetic schumck. Sounds like you need a little attitude adjustment.

    You are repugnant.

  • @GutpileCharlie Yes its true, The Israeli scum Murder innocent people. You want proof? Type in the search box, "Israeli Army Kills Civilians"! You pathetic brain dead half wit! Fuck you turd!

  • @deeppurple28 You pathetic bag of shit. You are really screwed up aren't you? You are a total and complete zero in the morals, ethics and common sense department.

    You are not worth even responding to.

    You are going to encounter someone that someday will unscrew you slimy head and shit down your neck.

    Now go fuck yourself you piece of shit.

  • @GutpileCharlie You truly are the load that bitch you call mom should have swallowed! What the fuck would you know about morals and ethics you pathetic waste of Life!? You are a waste of Oxygen you shit for brains, Israel has placed an Illegal Siege on Gaza fuck bag! Israel responds with MILITARY Force against Palestinians whom have NO MILITARY! YOU Dumb Cunt, don't tell me about morals and ethics you Bitch

  • @deeppurple28 Some day, some time, someone will approach you and just clean your fucking clock you pathetic, embarassing pile of shit.

    You are completely lacking in any kind of morals.

    Some day, some time, some one will approach you and just clean your fucking clock.

    If I were you, I would be ashamed to show my face in public. You are beyond repugnant, you are nothing but a steaming pile of odoriferous excrement.

  • @GutpileCharlie Is that all you can say you pathetic rancid waste of oxygen? Listen you cum swallowing shit for brains, Israel is a piece of shit country that kills innocent people! Israel is a scum nation that attacks a defenseless populace that has NO Military to defend itself from the IDF! Fuck you you pile of donkey shit! Go ask that BITCH You call mom why she didn't swallow! Matter fact, do us all a favor and go drink the Blue Stuff under the sink Bitch!

  • @GutpileCharlie Fuck You BITCH Anf Fuck Israel, Stupid CUNT! Fuck you pull your head out of your fecal encrusted ass hole and pay attention you brain dead half wit! Israel is the Scum of the Earth! Stupid Bitch! Fuck you and Fuck that bitch you crawled out of CUNT!

  • @deeppurple28 Are sleeping better at night after your comments here? It truly depresses me that there are people out there like you who are completely comfortable spewing hatred of this sort.

  • @totaleclipse666 Yeah I am sleeping better, but you know who is not sleeping better, or at all sometimes? The children of Gaza who have been killed by the Israeli Army!

  • Weiner is a mouse. A dirty rat!

  • I believe Weiner. Any one with brains does. That said, so few seem to possess the gray stuff now.

  • @MissBondable You are a blithering idiot. Tell me something else funny you pathetic piece of shit.

  • ROFL GET PWND REPUBLICANTS

  • LOL, while I believe you must dumb it down for the American public, those people in congress know exactly who they work for and what they are doing. It is their idiot followers that must be read to like children. If you can still vote for and follow the people trying to convince you that millionaires and billionaires deserve tax breaks or that Reganomics works or that we are fighting a deficit because poor people aren't suffereing enough, then you are the idiots I'm talking about.

  • How many times do these people have to stick their Bushes in our face before we whip out our Weiner? WEINER/SAUNDERS 2012

  • @Tanfeliz Don't you think Weiner/Edwards is a better combination? Both have proven they can rise to the occasion and seem to be incredible representatives of true leaders.

  • Wiener is a great guy if only his forign policy ideas were not so retarded

  • Anthony Weiner for pres!

  • One smug politician deriding another arrogant politician. Yippee

  • @captainofiron actually it was one smug politician laying the smack down on one who doesn't understand how a bill becomes a law.

  • Love this guy. Hilarious!

  • Anthony Weiner for PRESIDENT!!

  • Congress mouses.

  • Zing! BooM! Ohhhhh!!

  • I'm not even a democrat and I still find this awesome.

  • He just won congress.

  • i love this guy more and more everyday

  • Madam speaker madam speaker I please yield 2 minutes to the man from new york, mistaaaa weena

  • Rep. Anthony Weiner is great and he's correct. The majority party absolutely deserves to be talked down to for that pseudo bill. What a waist of time for a useless token to their extreme base. The House is being childish, so he's just keepin' it real.

  • @phendformyself you still think this now? :D

  • @spameister Oh, my comment angered you, huh?

    Clearly his actions, in regards to the scandal, were lewd and inappropriate. He made the right choice stepping down, although I feel he could have survived the bad publicity. However, I still feel that he is a good politician and that we have not seen the last of him.

    Btw, no offense, but speaking in hindsight makes you look unintelligent. :D

  • @phendformyself No offense, but your reply makes you look like a massive cunt.

    :D

  • @spameister U mad bro? lol I see. Your comment seemed unintelligent because you ARE unintelligent! I get it now, my bad. :D

  • @phendformyself yoisdisniggaserious.jpg

  • @spameister lol That's funny XD

  • @phendformyself am loving life thinking of you xoxox

  • Weiner. Brilliant. Conservative idiots can suck it.

  • i love weiner

    

  • I wish my representatives had balls like Rep. Weiner.

  • I fucking love Weiner!!

  • OWNED!!! lol

  • republicans get BUUUURNED!!!

  • President Anthony Weiner 2016, I wonder who the GOP will have in 2012?

  • LOL

    

  • Hahahahahahaha, beautiful.

  • The Republicans are riding a wave of emotion, facts are just inconveniences for them. This is not to say that there is no deficit/debt/entitlement problem. However, real thought-out solutions are just a bit too much work for them. If only they would extend the mantle of responsibility they preach to the poor to their intellectual responsibilities.

  • Seems 11 teabaggers watched this video (at the time of this comment).

  • Even money every word in that book goes over the heads of 3/4s of baggers in the House.

  • the guy after him was like fuck I can't top that. lol

  • This video has 466 up votes. Anthony Wiener is a hero. He will not yield.

  • Hysterical!

  • You have to like Anthony Weiner

  • @56captvideo That guy is fucking cool.

  • @caesarmoridon Hahahahaha, good one man. You sure know how to act like a crazy person.

  • Comment removed

  • Boom headshot

  • oh man he powned them!

  • That was hilarious.

  • man i dont think you can get anymore dissed hahahaha he made all of them look like fools hahah

  • Wiener is amazing. Seriously. He's awesome.

  • It's sad how predictable our Legislators are. The Minority party constantly cries foul over every rule or procedure that is not followed while they're the minority. Yet once they're in power they toss the rules aside, claim they are acting under a "Mandate from the People", and cram whatever they feel is best down everyones throat. Both sides use this EXACT tactic. I get so sick of both parties playing the same "I'm the reasonable good guy" card only when they're the Minority.

  • @mccormickn Uh, what?

    Despite having a supermajority they sat around amending healthcare for months before passing it, even cutting the public option.

    Tell me, when did the Democrats break any rules that they themselves instituted that session?

  • @override367 I won't pretend to be an expert on the rules and procedures of the legislative branch. I seriously doubt anyone here is...

    Democrats sat on their hands because they knew they were doing something that the people did not want. They saw the tidal wave coming and even sitting on their hands couldn't stop it. I mean honestly not a single Republican voted for such a fundamental change to a system that effects everyone. By the book or not do you honestly think that is good form?

  • @mccormickn : Democrats didn't sit on their hands and wait for the "tidal wave coming", they tried very hard to get a Senate budget bill passed last year, and every time the Republicans said they would filibuster, and the Democrats didn't force them to actually go through with it, so nothing got done. When Reid finally said he gave up, that he'd pass the bill they wanted him to pass, they still wouldn't pass it. How hypocritical can they be? How do folks not see through the Republican charade?

  • @override367 ... The state specific credits/funding put in place to pass the recent healthcare legislation come to mind. For example, the "Cornhusker Kickback" looks like it's being repealed. While perhaps not breaking the letter of the law, Obama's back-room deal with insurance companies certainly looks dubious as does mandatory coverage, which is a tax paid to insurance companies. That is why even fellow democrat Kucinich didn't want to go along with the bill (before his Air Force One ride!).

  • @mccormickn I notice it's always the majority party who complains about the filibuster. They never get rid of it though, because they know that some day they'll be in the minority and will need it.

  • @PissedFechtmeister I agree the filibuster is a crucial part of our check and balances. I would not want to get rid of it even if my party was the majority. It is a good way for the minority to have their thoughts and opinions heard, or at least put on record, without getting completely steam rolled at every turn.

  • @mccormickn I challenge you to find a recent bill proposed by the Democrats that blatantly ignores parliamentary procedure, or demonstrates a lack of even basic comprehension of how our government works. This is the problem, Democrats elect lawmen, Republicans elect people with lots of fire, but little in the way of substance.

  • @Ginyustyle I think he means more like about how the Reps shoved the Medicare bill through using less-than reputable tactics (to which the Dems shat their pants and cried like little bitches), then the Dems did the used the same tactics to pass the new Healthcare bill (to which the Reps shat/are shitting their pants and cried/are crying like little bitches).

  • @ipodcrazy523 You nailed it. Thank You.

  • @Ginyustyle haha I like iPod's explanation there! Pretty much sums it up. Theyre both cut from the same cloth. They bend,stretch and sometimes break rules when they feel justified. As I said above I'm not an expert and honestly I cannot give you an example off the top of my head. But I do know that if you think Democrats are all little angels following the rules and holding doors for everyone than i'm sorry. Both parties use underhanded tactics whenever they feel its benificial to their cause.

  • @mccormickn I'm not saying politicians aren't slimy as a general rule. I'm saying that there is a profound lack of understanding of government that is leading to Republicans putting their feet in their mouths. Nothing about showing your lack of knowledge about the constitution is beneficial to the Republican party. Thankfully for the GOP, they use scare tactics and spread ignorance to get elected, not respect for their constituents and a strong grasp of the issues.
