  • Republicans attract people with rhetoric and not on their policies. That's why they get people to vote against their best interests. They can keep driving the original problems home, while stating the solutions and ignoring the new problems created from them.

    Stating your policies does NOT work well in elections, even if you hand them on a platter. LANGUAGE USAGE ALWAYS WINS.

  • The poll shows how stupid people are in America, and getting even more stupid by the day.

  • This isn't hard to get. Most people are fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

  • In America, "Liberal" = weak bitch with his head in the clouds. "Conservative" = level-headed and noble.

    The problem is, a lot of Liberal's are weak bitches. But of course a lot of Conservatives are fucking psychopaths.

  • @MrGoldenTracks I wish I didn't agree with you over 'Liberals being weak bitches' - but using the word 'Progressive' instead of 'Liberal' demonstrates weakness.

  • @MCsuperChristina Yeah I refuse to be ashamed of the world liberal. In fact I take it as a compliment. I wish someone like Sean Hannity would try and call me a traitor like he does other liberals. I'd point out how he never served his country and I have, and how he's a scared pussy chickenhawk.

  • @MrGoldenTracks Yeah, I used to buy that stereotype about liberals too. Fortunately it's not always true. I mean you have people like congressman Grayson who take absolutely no shit from the right.

  • @IAmLikeWhatTheHell Forgive me. I should have been more clear.

    no, not because they disagree with me.

    What I meant was that an electorate who votes for superficial reasons like

    "my family always voted for X so I'll do that too"

    or

    "that guy looks cool so I'll vote for him"

    without educating themselves on the policies or records of the candidates.

    That is what I think is the enemy of democracy.

  • I am the complete opposite of this big headed douche bag

  • In Canada Liberal is centre, NDP is left, Conservative is right.... but conservative is all over the place in the country.

  • @L0OOOooooOOOOOOOOL I'll agree with you that Star Trek is awesome....how about that?

  • also in 2012 the world is ending so dont forget about that

  • @L0OOOooooOOOOOOOOL Jean Luc Picard 2012. He has it all over Ron Paul. Picard is for a society where humanity no longer works out of greed, but to better themselves (See Star Trek First Contact).

  • @Newenlightenmentnow If you love the idea of Star Trek future, how do feel about feel about the present? Do you dislike the division of liberal verses conservative? Do you think the lines that exist to divide us really don't exist?

  • @L0OOOooooOOOOOOOOL Jean Luc Picard 2012. He'll not only abolish fiat currency and the FED, he'll abolish currency.

  • The Word conservative is deceptive. Replace it with TRADITIONALISTS. Then we won't get confused.

  • I bet Jesus looked a lot like Michael Shure.

  • where can i buy that hoody?

  • STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR OBAMA.

    If you don't want to act on the policy that you run on, than don't run on it. Otherwise, expect criticism, unrest, angry citizens and then expect not to get reelected. It's that fucking simple.

  • My Mom says she's a republican, but she likes the progressive tax?

  • @arc175 She's just another arsehole housewife, who gives a shit what she "thinks". Republicans are scum and anyone who supports them is brain dead scum.

  • @nilbud I would say she is brainwashed. She's also Christian :(

  • I want that hoodie

  • To me the survey just shows that most (not all) Republicans will say Yes to Anything their party says, even if it's misinformation. Also that the Democrats like to try to be level headed and question things further, even if the information comes from their own party. To me that's why Democrats seem to be divided, again because they question things. Also it proves a lot of people need to inform themselves better about politics and what's going on.

  • Tragedy of the commons. Most people have no incentive to care about politics, because there's nothing any individual can do to make a real difference. You're far more likely to get struck by lightning than to cast a tie-breaking ballot.

  • They don't think of themselves as liberals because of the CONSTANT demonisation of liberals by the Far Right.

  • @dangerouslytalented the far left portrays the right wing as a bunch of Rednecks and Nazi's.... both sides resort to scummy tactics.

  • @AnnaKasparian You feature "doctor" David Duke in your page. The guy who got his doctorate in antisemitism. You YOURSELF portray YOURSELF as a redneck and a Nazi.

  • @dangerouslytalented David Duke is not a National Socialist. He Stands up for White civil Rights, the same way Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stand up for Black civil rights. He has always stated they every group of people on this earth is allowed to preserve their culture and heritage.

  • @AnnaKasparian u need help?

  • @AnnaKasparian No you're a liar Duke is a notorious anti-semite. Your morons drool about white civil rights just shows the deep lack of education you and your inbred family of fuckwit slack jawed minimum wage earners suffer from. Now get back to your menial job cletus, you living joke.

  • @nilbud Did you ever bother to LISTEN and READ what he has to say? It sounds like you just hate White people. Good Job being a mindless Bigot! There is not all white people who live in rural areas are "stupid". You know nothing about National Socialism you anti white bigot!

  • @AnnaKasparian It sounds like nilbud just hates everyone. Or else they are a troll. Either way, not worth the time and effort to have a discussion with.

  • @AnnaKasparian The guy got a doctorate in antijewish paranoia at a Ukranian university that is notorious for its antisemitism.

  • @AnnaKasparian The right wing ARE a bunch of rednecks and nazis. You're confusing dreams and reality again.

  • I want Michael Shure to start raping like Eminem in that jacket.

  • I hate michael shure, he is such an obama defending pussy

  • Someone who is considered "Liberal" in America would be considered as "right wing" in Europe.

    And someone considered "Conservative" in America would be considered as a "racist, dumb and backward - piece of crap" in Europe.

    just saying

  • @Doan84 Just because one person sees another as racist dumb and backward does not mean they are right. A terrorist sees a normal American as something to be hated. In England, the political party in power is conservative and as someone from the US, I find it too still be a very liberal country. Student aid is insanely high ($18,000 a year and tuition is only $8000), unemployment benefits have no time limit and 1,400,000 people work for the governments health programs alone.

  • @Doan84 Someone who is liberal in America would not be seen as right wing in Europe that is lunacy. With respect to what do you conclude this? Liberals in Europe spend their peoples money like Russian oligarchs - hows the Greek economy workin out for ya? Liberals in the US want to spend even more than 100% of GDP to presumably get closer to Greek numbers at 140%+. The 'crazy' 'racist' tea party is based around spending money you HAVE not DONT HAVE. In your world they are crazy for this huh...

  • @SevyShasha The Greeks are an exception, they were sold on horrible loans, the equivalent of American subprime mortgage loans, designed specifically to be high interest high risk loans for sale to those gullible enough to buy bonds based on bad debt. If you want to see what a liberal country working properly, look at Scandanavia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or South Korea.

  • @Doan84 In Australia, with his policies, he would be seen as a member of the nuttier part of the rightwing of our rightwing party. I mean, BOTH major parties support universal healthcare almost unanamously, PROPER universal healthcare, not this insurance mandate shit America got.

  • @Doan84 comparing an entire continent with a single country? are you really doing that? *rhetorical question.

  • @Doan84 Haha, truth.

  • To be fair, this distinction could just as easily be used to argue against Europe instead of against American conservatives @Doan84

  • Conservatives are not one homogeneous and unified group either.. Some are religious conservatives who represent the regressive element in America's Culture Wars. Others are economic conservatives like libertarians. Then there are political conservatives - The Neocons, the military-industrial complex, the media, Wall Street and the business community. Lastly, America's legacy of racial prejudice continues to divide poor and middle class citizens who too often vote against their own interests.

  • The problem with the poll is that most people don't know the virtues of being a liberal. Their perspective on liberalism is whatever Fox News and other conservative establishments have brainwashed them into believing. If you don't buy into the villification of the term liberal, more and more Americans would define themselves as liberal.

  • Just before the last poll info on the Tea Party he said "This is interesting..." but right afterwards he says "that doesn't surprise anyone." SO which is it? Is it interesting or not interesting? 2:20

  • I don't buy the argument made here.. With the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson saw to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 despite resistance from a far more conservative American public that Obama has to deal with..

  • @urbanverificationist The American public has always been split. Kennedy and Johnson CAMPAIGNED on civil rights. And they WON. But, as usual, the bigots would not have any of it. But that was the same a hundred years before with emancipation. The moment a president who was even slightly likely to free the slaves was elected, the South seceded and declared war on the North, and it ended up with hundreds of thousands dead, including the president himself.

  • I think we should be thinking not in Conservative or Liberal. We should start thinking pro-Establishment and anti-Establishment. We'll quickly find that there are many more anti-Establishment then pro.

  • @mrrossjonathan and many in the antiestablishment box have actually been decieved into supporting policies that are more pro establishment than any dreamed up before.

  • This is why America fails.

  • I have as much respect for conservative politics as I do for a bucket filled with sheep's piss.

  • @devourerofbabies

    ok, sorry about that. Its hard to recognize satire in these comments some time. I assumed you were one of the many ignorant conservatives who come on TYT and call people communist or socialist, not even knowing the meaning of the words.

  • @1corpoaratekochwhore " communist or Socialist, not even knowing the meaning of the words. " We are sure that Liberals and Progressives know the meanings of Socialism and Marxism, that's the problem. What we are also sure of is that many Liberals and Progressives don't know many Conservatives personally.

  • @MrSpencerport

    What point are you trying to make with your first statement? And what evidence to do have to support your 2nd statement.

  • @MrSpencerport Brilliant! You pulled that analogy right out of your ass. I happen to have conservatives (unfortunately) in my family, and used to be one of you idiots. Fortunately I gave up that bad habit, and like the smoker who quit smoking, I feel better for it.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow If I had one wish it would be to talk to the members of your family. That would be my wish.

  • @MrSpencerport And that would do you no good whatsoever. I'm a grown man, so I can do what I want, but it turns out my family is also liberal. My dad owns a small business and has voted Democratic since the 1960s. My brother worked on Barack Obama's campaign. So have fun with that. My immediate family's opinion is the only one with any real weight, and even then they have to convince me with evidence, which is why you contards have exactly no chance.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow I going to enjoy the next 10 months watching you defend the indefensible and President Obama's destruction of Liberal and Progressive ideology.

  • @MrSpencerport That's great, you'll be waiting a long time. I won't be defending him. I'll just point out where your side is full of shit. If your statement is intended to scare me with some delusional notion that Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney might be president, it's you who are in for a very rude awakening. Don't worry asshole, I'll pack your bags for you when you leave, although...I don't know where you'd go. No other place welcome contards like yourself.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow Are you now a person in the middle spectrum of politics?

  • @sholmesful It depends. I don't share the libertarian or conservative view that government is bad. Government is a tool. Its like saying, table saws are bad because sometimes they cut people. If used properly the government is useful. For example. The government is a better paying agent with regard to healthcare. The government is better at doing basic scientific research (which leads to new technology) because there's no profit motive in it.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow Sure! Then you end up with the NIH spending thousands of dollars per AIDS patient death in the US, and less than $100 for each prostate cancer death, heart disease death. Why? No profit motive. Private enterprise will allocate scarce resources by trying to save the maximum number of deaths, because it is more profitable. The question is: if you can save lives with a $million, do you want to save a few lives, or a lot? Govt says a few, Corps say a lot.

  • @luvcheney1 Well here's the problem, and exaclty why I don't share your religion of free market absolutism. Your proposition that the market allocates resources optimally assumes perfect information. This may be the case when dealing with oranges, and low fixed costs. However when you have natural monopolies and high fixed costs, government intervention is required, or may even do a superior job to private enterprise.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow With natural monopolies, like utilities for example, there are 3 options. 1) Private corp monopoly with heavy Govt regulation ( as in electricity.) 2) Private unregulated monopoly 3) Govt monopoly (roads. Electric utilities in US tell us NOT to use electricity! Govt begs us not to use roads! Why? They have immense shortages. Govt regulates electricity price to point generating capacity isnt built, and shortages push prices up, govt wont build roads too

  • @luvcheney1 More bullshit directly out of your ass. Look we tried it your way with unregulated monopolies as in California and Enron and that worked out great. The roads are in bad shape because they're underfunded. Period. Some states such as Wisconsin match federal funding with state funding, and it's in great shape. A better example of state owned roads would be the autobahn in Germany. The roads are flawless. So the government can and does often perform well.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow Poor baby is mixed up! Each year "Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds" make a report. THEY state the unfunded liablities at nearly $100 Trillion. The money "invested" in trust fund has been loaned to the Federal Govt, and spent. It is Govt debt. When SS asks for the cash, Fed Govt will need to either borrow it back, tax us higher for it, or print it. You are very confused, as are all your heroes.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow I am not saying private corporation or the market are always infallible. But: HealthCare is a bad problem, and even before ObamaCare 50% of the US market was govt financed already, from Fed, State and local levels. College cost a problem, heavily govt financed. Roads are in short supply. Housing is decimated, Fannie Freddie, FHA, VA, Ginnie Mae, CRA all heavily involved in housing loans, decisions. K-12 education far behind rest of world math/ science

  • @luvcheney1 The conversation is now over. I don't use fox news talking points such as Obama care, which is in no way a government takeover of healthcare. Its a mandate, requiring all citizens to buy private insurance. Its not Obama anything. Next point, education far behind the rest of the world? Do you really think the countries that do better have less government? Wrong. Germany, Finland, Sweden, Japan, have nearly exclusively public schools.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow ObamaCare, from "Social Security Online, Actuarial Publications, socialsecurity.gov" "Status of the Social Security and Medicare Programs", "SUMMARY OF THE 2011 ANNUAL REPORTS Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees". "an almost 30-percent reduction in Medicare payment rates for physician services is assumed to be implemented in 2012, notwithstanding experience to the contrary. report notes long-term viability of this provision is debatable.

  • @luvcheney1 I also love your username too. Way to take the name of a traitor who outed a CIA agent. Not only did he out a CIA agent, but that agent was working on chasing loose nukes. Thanks to Dick Cheney, it's now more likely that a nuclear attack will happen in the US. For that crime, Cheney, Rove, and Libby need to stand trial for treason and be executed.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow The Govt admitted that Valierie Plame was outed by Richard Armitage, not Cheney`s office. In fact, the Govt prosecutor knew from the beginning WHO outed her. No charges brought up on the man admitting to the outing. Libby convicted not for the outing, but on lying to authorities.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow Social Security has huge unfunded liabilities, as does MediCare, together 2 govt programs approaching unfunded liabilities near $100 TRILLION. Monopoly on fiat currency, dollar worth only 5 cents of it`s 1914 value, Govt created Fed Reserve, fueling investment bubbles and crashes, since inception. Sock bubble and crash of late 1920`s, DotCom bubble and crash, housing bubble and crash. These are all severe issues, far worse than BP oil spill

  • @luvcheney1 You just pulled that directly out of your ass. Social security owns over 2 trillion dollars in government securities and will pay out the entire benefit for another 20 years. Sorry, but your nonsense lies from the heritage foundation or any other bullshit think tank won't work here. My source is the congressional budget office. Your source is apparently your ass.

  • @luvcheney1 You also make the erroneous assumption that corporations never waste money. I find this absolutely laughable. Sure in industries such as grocery, where profit margin are low, there is little room for waste, but what about an industry such healthcare, where the startup costs are astronomical. Also, you point to your absurd example of the NIH. Ok I have a counter point (next comment 400 characters)

  • @luvcheney1 The so called superior US private health insurance system pays 1000 USD per MRI. The Japanese have a hybrid public/private system where the state replaces the private insurance. The Japanese government demanded that MRIs be cheaper, so that spurred innovation in that led to the cost of MRIs in Japan only being 10$. So no the market isn't always right.

  • @luvcheney1 Furthermore, the drug companies would be absolutely no where without the billions of dollars of basic scientific research conducted at our universities and government owned labs. For example, there is no profit motive in sequencing the human genome, per se. However, that breakthrough, has led to new biotech companies using that basic technology to create energy producing bacteria, to revolutionizing how drugs will be manufactured.

  • @luvcheney1 In short, the market has a role. I have no wish to have to government tell Kroger how much to charge for ground beef. However, to say that the government is always incompetent is laughable as it ignores private sector malfeasance, and to say that the market is always correct, is hopelessly naive and dogmatic.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow If you got so fet-up and tried of who was liberal or conservative, how would go about proving that everyone was in the middle? Who would attack first for the divisions we have?

  • @sholmesful I don't share the liberal view that....for example we must respect all cultures. I also believe there is an objective morality, BUT it isn't based on scripture, but on what maximizes human well being. So I'm not keen on being politically correct with regard to say Islam. I think Islam is subject to criticism the same as say a restaurant I don't like, after all a chef is actually real and has feelings. I am for immigration, but it should be controlled.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow Agreed! I also think all religions should be subject to criticism which includes christian and catholic faith.

  • proving once again, Cenk doesnt know jack shit

  • if you still believe in left and right

    well you are a ubber moron

  • @madtrade Left and right do not exist in the US. The establishment is called, well, the establishment for a reason. I think most people covering politics miss this...

  • @SevyShasha The oil pipeline will happen. With Stephen Harper in Canada and a sell out like Obama in America, lobbyists dictate everything. At the most, there are hiccups but they will ram this through. But even as a conservative who places a high value on economics, there will come a day when your type will have no choice but to also be environmentalists.

  • Don't worry, there will be more liberals than conservatives soon enough. Obama's lax immigration laws will add lots of new liberal voters.

  • @Vocizo Since when?! Obama's broken the record for numbers of persons deported THREE YEARS RUNNING. How the *FUCK* do you figure Obama's immigration policy is LAX???

  • This is more because of successful branding by right wing talkshow hosts than actual stances on the issues. Try asking people if they want European style universal healthcare, then when they say no ask if they'd like a system that put everyone on the same, effective plan, financing it through income tax, but in the end being less than half the price of today's insurance.

  • "conservative" implies that you are not "progressive"

    progressive coincides with liberal/left of that

    how can anyone be anti-progressive? -_-

  • Here we have Michael Shure promoting his upcoming feature length remake of Cast Away.

  • Breaking News -- Americans are idiots. More at 11.

  • @GenTsoChicken1 Sure, there are idiots in America but that doesn't mean All Americans are idiots. Name me any country on earth where some of the humans there aren't idiots. When people like you overgeneralize others, that makes You the "Idiot".

  • @GenTsoChicken1 Breaking News -- The world is full of idiots. More at 11.

  • @GenTsoChicken1 how is that >breaking< news? 

  • Michael looks like he was just rescued off an island somewhere. Dude clean it up a little.

  • fuck conservatives

  • Comment removed

  • @MASSRCOR you forgot "...and liberals"

  • @MASSRCOR hey, liberals are stupid on a ton of issues as well. There are some things people are conservative on, and things people are liberal on. 

  • Most Americans identify themselves as conservatives, but consistently poll left leaning on policies. Take the public option for example. It had plenty of support by the American people, despite the false label of being socialism spouted by outlets like Fox News.

    People don't like to use the word liberal because it is used as an insult so often in the media.

  • The young people coming of age now are the only hope for America

  • @demonorse They're morons, dumber than their parents.

  • of course there are more conservatives, the USA is based on a conservative philosophy so it's hardly surprising

  • still waiting for the day when TYT will finally admit, that ALL candidates AND OBAMA are totally bought lock stock and barrel by various lobbies - all EXCEPT Ron Paul.

    So no matter if you don't agree with all of his "crazy" ideas, if you want the US to get on a better track, there's no alternative to vote for among the candidates for the presidency.

    if you put your HOPE (tm) on Obama again, you're gonna be sold out cheap AGAIN.

  • Has this guy even heard of the tea party movement? The republican party split into polar opposites, no-cons left from the Bush days and tea party liberals (in the original sense of the word). The democrats are like different tints of the same color in comparison.

  • Michael Shure's problem is he only cares about social issues. Take off the blindfold. The world around you is crumbling. I'm a homosexual, and even I know that gay rights aren't the worst of our worries.

  • The poll sounds about right to me, although unfortunate, socially American is moderate at best and conservative at worst. Liberals/leftists seem to be a minority.

  • Obama is a shithead.

  • @ICIRCLE001 So are you

  • @MitchofSmeg In fact the beginning of the liberalisation of the British social system was a result of WWI, when it was found that great numbers of the populace were unable to fight because of the diseases of poverty such as malnourishment. The elite give nothing away.

  • @Ebolahill88 I think you may be feeding a troll.

  • @colourmegone its more of a pet troll, i get enjoyment from feeding it

  • @Ebolahill88 Sorry, far be it from me to come between a person and his troll...

  • @colourmegone lol, the new tamagochi

  • And they all watch FoxNews

  • @naym2011 And conservatives grovel at the feet of Big Business. It depends on who you trust more, the government which is answerable to population as a whole, or business whose only responsibility is to the bottom line and the elites who control them.

  • Spot on commentary by Michael Shure, glad to see at least one TYT host is not ashamed of the word LIBERAL.

  • @Chesedrosen Lol. They all call themselves libs and liberal all of the time.

  • Of course there are more unintelligent people in this country, look at the movies and TV shows and music and restaurants that make the most money here. Thus there are more people who think they are "conservative" while they cheat on their wives and snort crank and collect disability in their trailer parks.

  • The US is right wing, the people are right wing, the policy is right wing the religions are right wing even the fucking atheists are right wing. The signs are when people believe what oil companies tell them and allow their neighbours to be treated like animals have a death penalty and make their children pledge allegiance to a bit of fabric.

  • @nilbud If the US is all right wing - how did that left wing chap get voted in? Perhaps it was the evil right wing committing voter fraud - like they usually do - to elect the liberal to set him up to fail. I think you are right. That is why Obama is SO terrible - it is a republican conspiracy all along.

  • @SevyShasha Obama is a moderate.

  • @Chesedrosen To me, a crazy right wing douchebag, I respectfully disagree. He has been the worst president ever which is a shame as I would have loved the first black president to not suck so much. All he has left is rich vs poor class warfare, character attacks against Mitt Romney's record and 1 billion dollars of media funding which finances propaganda outlets like The Young Turks so they can deliver anti conservative hit piece after hit piece.

  • @SevyShasha Name a reason why you say President Obama is the worst president in history?

  • @SevyShasha You're a gullible fucking moron.

  • @nilbud thanks for the indepth analysis you add many flavours to the debate you dumb irish clown

  • @Chesedrosen "Obama is a moderate."

    Obama is an abomination. He is someone who has actually advocated infanticide. When babies are the target of abortion, if they happen to escape the abortionists intention and are born alive, he supported the idea that those babies should be set aside to die. Moderate?

  • @SevyShasha That is a blatant lie. Where did you get that information? Do you have a news article or proof that he said that?

  • @Chesedrosen he cast a vote against banning infanticide. Right now we have congress and Obama at war with each other over any issue that gets them...if we have Obama for another term do you think that will change? You want to continue with 8% unemployment and way higher among blacks for another term? We need a conservative to take an axe to Obama's huge spending.

  • @SevyShasha Conservatives were in charge for a decade. Why would you want to enact the same policies that we tried and did not work? And where on earth did you read that he voted for infanticide?! Your are either not being serious or incredibly ignorant.

  • @Chesedrosen At issue is a practice of children being born alive, with vital signs separate from the mother, and being left to die. Literally. They would not be provided any care, but just left alone until they were dead. Human babies born alive, and intentionally ignored so that they would die.

    Infanticide.

    Obama voted for legal infanticide. Not that he voted for infanticide, but he did vote to keep it legal.

  • @Chesedrosen It's living human children being left to die in soiled rooms simply because they are unwanted. They are not fetuses, they are not pre-humans, they are live, born, human infants. And Obama voted to allow them to be killed.

  • @SevyShasha Obama supports abortion in cases of rape, incest, or impending death to the mother, like an ectopic pregnancy. Not as a form of birth control. And secondly I am done with this discussion, you are obviously a fundamentalists who refuses to acknowledge the rules of logic.

  • @Chesedrosen What I said has nothing to do with abortion. Get off your logic horse smart fuck.

  • @SevyShasha Oh so then you are an ignorant cunt. FUCK OFF.

  • @SevyShasha Most abortions are not late term abortions. And, even with the few exceptions of late term abortions being performed. the fetuses could in no way be considered fully conscious, sentient human beings.

  • @technatezin infanticide is not abortion

  • @SevyShasha If you think obama is left wing it just proves my point.

  • @nilbud Because Americans are uninformed to the extreme. Stations like FOX news Fuel the ignorance.

  • @TheBlackKnight22 FOX is #1 cable news my friend. What right wing cable news networks are there? Just Fox. That's why liberals hate them so much - they show another perspective and libs just cannot live with a competing view. I watched perhaps 20 minutes of Bill O'Reilly (an opinion based show) a few nights ago and honestly thought he was reasonable in showing fairly both sides of the argument. You make it sound like north korean TV. There are liberal pundits on almost all segments...

  • @TheBlackKnight22 Watching Fox is NOT MANDATORY! People watch it because it agrees with their point of view, it isn't some right wing Big Brother conspiracy forcibly piped into people's homes whether they want it or not.

  • @colourmegone The uninformed watch it because it is TARGETED towards the uninformed and it make them even more ignorant.

  • @nilbud

    Yeah, Like someone from Ireland should be really telling us what to do? when your unemployment rate right now is nearly twice as high as the U.S.A.

    I am a rightwing atheist.

    I am not an atheist supremacist who wishes to destroy religion either

    nor do I want Government to come in & tell people how to live

    I think it is best if got rid of property tax & income tax

    more money in people's pockets for the economy

    people can buy & own property & really own it & not lose it

  • @GermansMustDie You really think in the absence of government control the capitalists will leave you with anything. That's so quaint. How's that working out for you?

    !/3 of my country isn't in poverty and no matter how bad the unemployment gets no one will be tortured.

  • @nilbud

    Nazi Germany was for signfiicant regulation of Corpoations actually

    You seem to trust Government more than Corporations huh?

    Actually it is the Big Government that has allowed for Small businesses to fail.

    as it has given more tax incentives & bailouts to the big corporations which burdens small business making most small businesses fail

    Big Government Nazi Germany also was against small business for big business

  • @GermansMustDie You're so stupid it actually pains me to read your predictable idiocy. Let me make it crystal clear for you. You're an insect. You have no money no power no clout no control no influence nothing. In a "free society" such as Ron Paul's hellish vision you would be ground up by the machine. With a real government even a penniless fool like you has some tiny microscopic say. That's your choice and you picked being food for corporate greed.

  • @nilbud

    Property rights are essential

    you should know this being Iirsh & having 1 million Iirsh starve to death in Ireland in the Irish Potato Famine

    because they didn't have equal land rights to the English

    well guess what buddy that is from Big government

    same goes for the Ukrainians who up to 12 million died in Famine from Soviets taking away their land rights

    as long as we pay property tax

    we are property of the Government
