John Kerry is mentally unstable....he faked documents and put himself in for awards while in the Navy....met with our enemies while an "officer" in the Navy...lied under oath about "war crimes" committed in Viet Nam....he's a narcissitic dud...and the people of Machusetts should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to vote this un-American into office...he's a weasel of the lowest kind!
We have the Tea Party to thank for this downgrade by bullying the GOP into that very childish display of absolute resistance to raising the debt ceiling without asking the VERY rich to forgo their unnecessary tax breaks, and DEMANDING cuts ONLY from middle class and poor Americans. Michelle Bachmann, in her non stop mantra to make The President a one termer, seemed to be praying for a default. Im sure shes THRILLED to see this downgrade on Obamas watch, that SHE & the TP helped create. Shameful!
1.They couldn’t agree on how to spend less on “entitlements.”
2.They couldn’t agree on whether or how to raise revenue. (On that subject: raising income taxes is no good when so many people don’t even have an income to tax!)
3.They wouldn’t agree to cut the deficit by the $4 trillion that Standard and Poor warned Congress that they must agree to.
Tea Party ONLY advocated for a balanced budget amendment & paying down debt. It was gov that caused downgrade!!!
@joe035 Your comment doesnt comport with the S&P report. The President put EVERY Democratic "sacred cow" on the table for compromise. The Tea Party bullied Speaker Boehner & the GOP into putting NOTHING on the table for compromise. Thats why we only came up with $2T instead of the required $4T. The TP/GOP made sure their super wealthy friends were not asked to give 1 DIME more in revenue reform. To this day, they are against the raising of the debt ceiling.
@thenewmike2012 The 3 reasons I specified came DIRECTLY from the S&P's response to their decision of why they downgraded us.
Theres no difference between establishment Republicans & Progressives! This whole debt deal was nothing but a show to make us believe we have a choice in parties when both are one & the same establishment assholes. Obama has continued Iraq/Afghanistan, attacked libya without provocation or Congress approval, bailed out bankers, & spent billions helping Soros!
@joe035 You have every right to your opinions, not withstanding the crude way you express them.Just like the Tea Party & GOP, you dont leave any room in your argument for compromise.The President is right on this. BEFORE we are red or blue states, we are the UNITED States of America. We need Dems AND Repubs in office that get that. We need to put our country AHEAD of our politics as Obama is asking us to do.
@thenewmike2012 Obama is NOT a middle of the road President he is every bit as divisive as Bush!
I stated the 3 reasons why our credit rating was downgraded by the S&P's own statement. You can ignore the relevance of the facts & continue to regurgitate the propaganda put forth by Axelrod, Biden, & the likes or you can take the information directly from the source as I referenced. We do need to put the country ahead of ourselves as demonstrated in this last election all incumbants out.
@joe035 ANY President that is willing to put his country ahead of his own party is showing Leadership. The TP/GOP has stated publically that they have ZERO interest in working with the President to get this country back on track. Can you honestly call that putting the country first? As I mentioned earlier, the TP lead GOP put NOTHING on the table for compromise in the debt ceiling discussions.NOTHING that would help the country reach the $4T mark we needed to hit.
@thenewmike2012 Like I said before American families are hurting, barely surviving with the high inflation due to all the spending from bailouts, failed stimulus & BS wars! The SPENDING is what got us here & now you think taking more money out of the hands that earn it is the solution.
Blaming the TeaParty is absurd the S&P clearly stated the GOV didn't respond to any of their demands, & NONE of the goals of TeaParty were met. Gov is a bloated monster, I took a pay cut they can too!!
@joe035 Youre making my point for me. American families ARE hurting. So WHY keep on giving tax breaks to the SUPER rich that dont need them? They are NOT reinvesting that money in our economy, they are putting it in off shore accts and opening businesses overseas for the cheap labor. When was the last time you heard of a NEW, AMERICAN business opened?
@thenewmike2012 Wealth moves to where it can best sustain itself & grow. If Buffet wants to pay more in Taxes I'm great with that as long as it doens't mean everyone else in his income bracket who create jobs isn't chased out of the country because of high taxes. People take risks for the promise of rewards, not for the sake of creating jobs that is only a happy by product. Uncertianty because of Obama's policies is why there is no job creation!
@joe035 You didnt answer my question. Name a few SUPER rich people or companies that have opened a new business here in the USA. You say you are struggling, taking pay cuts, etc, yet you seem to be supporting the GOP tax breaks for the SUPER rich. Why Joe, WHY? Wouldnt it make more sense for you to support extending the Presidents' Middle Class Tax Cut plan? That means another $1,000.00 in your pocket. How is giving tax breaks to the SUPER rich helping YOU?
@thenewmike2012 Yes I did, they are NOT starting new businesses or growing their existing business because nobody knows what Obama is going to shove down their throats next. Cap & trade, Obamacare, bailouts, redistribution of wealth, debt growth "FUTURE TAX" etc..
Like I said if Buffet wants to pay more he should he is a financier not a manufacturer who creates real jobs. I want what is still left to stay, Obama is not creating a environment friendly to supporting job creation.
@joe035 The President in on the record stating that he will give tax cuts to businesses that hire here at home. Hs been pushing that for about a year now.
@thenewmike2012 I dont need tax cuts to hire people, I need CUSTOMERS. The democrats falsely believe they need to pay farmers to grow crops, subsidizing corn for example putting peasant Mexican farmers out of biz forcing them to come here illegaly to take jobs. I use to have 17 employees I'm down to 6 trust me you dont bailout companies or bribe them to do something they would do anyway if there was a demand. Consumers need more relief & incentive.
@joe035 A few minutes ago you said the SUPER rich arent opening new businesses here becuase they dont know what Obama is going to do. I just told you that Obama is giving tax cuts to businesses that hire here in the USA. Now youre saying you dont need tax cuts, you need customers. Well, dont you see?? IF there were more businesses here in America from the SUPER rich, YOU would have more customers! How are you NOT getting this?
@thenewmike2012 Tax cuts for hiring people wont work Mike! There has to be a DEMAND for their labors & at this point consumer confidence is so low there is NO DEMAND! Farmers are paid to grow crops they would grow anyway at expense to taxpayers. Does that make sense to you? If it doesn't neither should bribing corps to do something if there is NO DEMAND for as if they could sustain the new hires!.
They won't hire because Obama has MANY agendas that conflict with profit generation anyway!
@joe035 Thats 100% wrong. Who do you think is more likely to be one of YOUR new customers?...an American person with an extra $1000,00 in their pocket or a person working for an American company in China or India? No offense, but Im starting to see why your business is struggling, you dont seem to see the BIG picture here.
@thenewmike2012 Promising a tax cut to hire an employee which will cost employer MORE overall then reward of end of year tax break makes sense to you?
Obama & people working for him NEVER ran a business, the idea that corps will hire employee because it's the right thing to do despite it will cost them more is insane.
Oregon got 1.5 million to incentivize farmers to grow more berries & trees. Farmers were happy to take their money & continue to grow more product because there was demand!
Wanna talk about a hypocrit. This is a guy who agrees with raising the taxes on the rich, when he himself would be included in the so called rich (how much is your wife worth?) and yet he evades paying taxes on his yacht. You want to convice people you assholes in washington have a clue, try leading by example dingus. why dont you begin with participating in the healthcare you jackasses are shoving down our throats. i cant believe i live in the same state as this asshole. HELP!!!!!!
@Mackaveali Obama has more homosexuals working for him then ANY President in our history. I believe he thinks it is a required prerequisite to winning over the liberal minds. Being homosexual is more important then being good at your job, typical liberal logic.
This from a scumbag that married the Heinz fortune and has no need for income. Then he buys a $7M yacht NOT made in America, and docks it in Rhode Island to avoid the $500K sales tax and $70K annual excise tax. I'm sure he flies out there on our taxe$, too. This guy is guilty of tax fraud, intellectual dishonesty, & slander of American citizens.
@BurnOutXL The Democrats who think that the Democrat party is for the working man are really stupid. Rockefeller gets paid everytime a treasury is boughten, Gore PROFITS from global warming lie. Democrats are the party of the ruling elite do as we say but not as we do!! Not that I have any love for RINO's like McCain, they can go to hell too.
Teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime, buy a man a fish get a democrat elected! These anti-tea party idiots need to reevaluate the facts!
It is so hard to listen to this evil lying demon of a man. He and all the other politicians that don't care one ounce of what happens to us little americans make me sick to my stomach, they talk about jobs and the economy, while they are passing bills that make it easier of business to move over seas to china and other countries. They are lying scumbags that deserve to be on the streets where scumbags belong. I hope all these evil lying scumbags burn in hell for hurting the poor & weak.
@titannews1 So what you are saying is punish the people who have been successful in life to pay the debt Washington ran up because they have been fiscally irresponsible. Bail out a Government that wastes untold billions because they don't have to stick to a budget. You are an asshole and go against why America was founded. Why don't you give more money to the government if you think they deserve it.
@leftgibson: Its not only my opinion of solution, its Warren Buffet itself the second richest man in the US.
1. The tax money will got to investment and infrastructure of cities and that would automatically boost jobs and economy, let's double tax the super wealthy and please don't talk nonsense.
2. The Republicans did nothing in 8 years to stop the debt ceiling when Bush Jr was president, it went up to 8 trillion, and what did the GOP did about it? Nothing.
@leftgibson: Buffett lives on his investments only? hahaha check his interview on CNN, he does have a salary which he is willing to pay his "Normal Taxes" as a Billionaire. At least he's honest and trying to contribute with his obligations.
1. Bucause of Bush Jr Policy of tax cut to the super rich, we are in this Hole, but they only have 1 more year to celebrate cuz after 2012 the Predatory Bush Tax Cut is gone.
2. The economy is not that bad, here in Texas there's plenty of jobs.
@videotitan1 You are an idiot. You could take all the wealth from the top 5% and it would run the govt for 5 months. You are too stupid to understand the real problem. The govt. has mismanaged and wasted trillions. We have 60 billion in medicare and medicaid fraud per year. The post office will lose 2.4 billion this quarter. Fanny and Freddy need another 2 billion in bailouts this year. The govt. is a bloated mess that increases it's budget 7.5% every year where the economy is growing at 1.5%
@leftgibson: Well fuck you I'm giving my opinion that's what youtube is for, don't be stupid because taxing the super rich is just one change out of many that should be implemented immediately. The Predatory Government laws are the ones hurting the middle and low class and that's what should be protected, cuz the middle class is basically Businesses who gives employment these days. Use fucking common sense for God's sake.
@videotitan1 Look at countries where corporations and the wealthy were raped to pay for social programs, handouts and massive govts. Everyone of them is either in trouble of is failing. The private sector is the engine that will pull this country out this mess, Not the govt!
@videotitan1 Share some of your common sense with me. If you repeal the Bush tax JUST for those making > $1M/yr, you get between $40B to $50B more in revenue per year. Discounting ANY effect to the economy, that is 3% of the annual deficit. In otherwords, about 3 days of borrowing. But lets go fantasyland, and tax EVERY DOLLAR MADE by this same group, without economic impact. Do we balance the budget? No, we're still $0.5T short or 1/2 the annual deficit.
@leftgibson The debt grows by 3 million dollars a minute, Anyone who blames the teaparty for the S&P downgrade is unbelieveably stupid or brainwashed by liberal media.
@leftgibson Well said, what are these people thinking. How can anyone blame the Tea Party there whole theme has been govt to exist within a budget & pay down the deficit.
This so called TeaParty downgrade is pure establishment Propaganda, & very pathetic that ANYONE would by into it.
@shanbo if you make $1000 and then go to a check cashing store and barrow $400 but only spend $1300, you have not balanced the budget nor do you have an actual surplus. I bet your home finances are an absolute mess! Lol
"The country is living in debt. It is not living within its means, shifting the weight of responsibility on other countries and in a way acting as a parasite,
Hard positions Mr. Kerry? Democracy sucks when people have differing opinions with yours. You better read the Constitution again sir and refresh yourself to what Jefferson insisted be in that document to maintain a people's government, not a government run by, and solely controlled by an elite ruling class.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH - I grew up in the world of Kerry, He is an unabashed socialist, he talks about his relationship with that idiot from Arizona as being somehow the median in American politics, what an moron. All I can say is Johnie - go back to mass a two (guess what comes next) and move your yacht from Rhode Island to Massachusetts and pay the taxes you require me to pay.
@shanbo26 if you think Clinton balanced the budget you are the moron. All of this talk that he had a surplus and balanced the budget is a crock. That statement I based on the premise of increasing the national debt, a I said earlier, by 44%. He just didn't spend as much as he was barrowing. The national debt would have actually lowered if there was a surplus during Clintons presidency, but the national debt has not gone down since the institution of the FED. You stick to your guns though..
@lobestarter1 Sorry moron, it's a fact. Your confusion is caused by the fact that he didn't do it overnight. But the record clearly shows he left office with a balanced budget. Try again, idiot.
the tea party's hard line position arose from out of control government republican & democratic politicians were bought & paid for a long time ago they work together only as far as they run this country into the ground I'll give Ron Paul a go & if that fails I'll see you at the Boston Harbor Americans take our Country back!
Does anyone still believe this bs from liberals? They say a minority disrupted everything. The majority of you a holes signed on to it so it's your fault. We wanted the debt to go down, not up. Liberals always get their way, always ruin everything and blame it on someone else. The people are getting tired of the bs.
The tea party didn't want to raise the debt ceiling. We said that was a bad idea. Liberals fought for months saying raising the debt ceiling would be great. Of course the liberals always get their way, tea party hasn't gotten one bill passed and of course we got downgraded. How in the hell anyone can say this is the tea party when we wanted the opposite, it's liberals that are smoking the crap and we're tired of the hypocrisy. You all will answer to the people for your lies!
@sololobo it wasn't really a surplus. If it were a surplus then he would not have had to raise the debt ceiling 4 times during his presidency! So if he ha a surplus why was he running up the country credit card for a total increase of the US debt by 44%? Maybe you should think twice about how great Clinton left the Debt when he left office.
@lobestarter1 He didn't balance the debt overnight moron. It took him almost eight years. You morons can't comprehend that there are problems which you can't solve with a snap of your fingers.
@shanbo three years is one slow finger snap. Obama doesn't care about you. That's why he did not show up in Wisconsin to support the recall. You don't have a foot to stand on. You ate stumbling around in the dark!
You just have to love today's social climate ... you either agree with me or you are Hitler/Nazi/fascist/Socialist/fill in the blank ... Yay America!
@teledan105 Because if you idiots destroy your own country, you might take mine with it. Is that simple enough for you to understand, or should I use smaller words?
@Shanbo26 I'll tell you one thing- I'm glad you can't vote here! Google the following: "People who can't read their own prepared comments clearly". Then google: "grown men who watch weird Asian videos about women 'drowning' in BB-like objects". (Check out this guy's channel, folks). Actually, you're so weird psychologists haven't studied your type yet! Your mom's said to clean your room or you can't have your allowance check! But I'm sure your disability check will be on time.
@teledan105 I see you possess the rightard gift for lying. It's a Japanese game show, moron. Nice try reading anything more into it than that. Why don't you try digging around in my garbage can for something you can use?
@shanbo26 Bush has been out of office for 3 years. Two and a half of the three years, democrats had a lock on all branches of government. They had the senate, the house, and the presidency and you are still trying to blame Bush for everything. Wake up!
@lobestarter1 And you expect them to have cleaned up a mess you rightards took eight years to make? With you guys stonewalling every attempt to fix things? You have only yourselves to blame for the slow progress of reform.
@shanbo bush has been out of office for three years! The house, senate, and president were all democrat for two and a half years! Wake up! This problem didn't start a month ago, and if it started 11 years ago then surely Obama could have done something when the dems were a super majority. Your arguments are pretty weak.
@lobestarter1 No, my argument is that you Tea Partiers are a bunch of hypocrites. This problem did indeed start 11 years ago. What's hilarious is that your main complaint is that Obama hasn't cleaned up your mess fast enough.
And let's not forget all the feet-dragging your side has done, fighting any attempt to fix things tooth and nail. Remember the health care debate, how long you assholes managed to string that out despite the "super majority"?
If you should be so inclined to educate yourself then reading the article "End This Agony at vonmises dot org would perhaps be constructive.
One can observe in one the included charts that every recession/depression in America was accompanied by government spending more than it took in (decrease in Net Savings). Do you really think that this is a coincidence?
@shanbo so what I'm hearing from you is that you don't have any defense other than blame bush and conservatives. No comment on when the democrats had a majority over every branch of government? Your just going to stick to that tired old story huh?
@lobestarter1 So your'e going to claim Obama should have been able to snap his fingers and fix a mess it took you rightards eight years to make? With the Republicans fighting them every step of the way? Is that story supposed to be any better?
@shanbo Bush was not a conservative. He had a lot of policies that hurt the economy and the US. Obama isn't any better continuing the same policies, and not passing a budget when he had a democratic majority in every branch of government. For two and a half years Obama could have easily done this.
@lobestarter1 Yeah, right. That explains why you conservatives were kissing Bush's feet while he was in office. It's too late to start distancing yourselves from him now.
@Shanbo26 thats right, after we got a great President in George Bush we got the worst President this country has ever seen, Barock Hussein Obama, mmm mmm mmmm
Blaming the tea party is analogous to blaming the police who show up to stop a bank robbery for the bank robbery - rather than the robbers. Typical of those who want to spend other folk's money to blame the folks for wanting the spenders and looters of our treasury to stop it. Govt spending and central planning has never worked once in history - If you know of a success, please post it. Of course, Kerry repeats this lie - he is one of the robbers.
@hiyallpundit Yeah, except in this case the cops threatened to blow up the bank if the shareholders went ahead on their plan to cut management's salaries.
What an idiot. We will never survive as an intact country with people like this in our government. Enough is enough. It is time to fix the real problems. That is the message that the tea party is trying to tell you Mr. Kerry.
So tired of the blame shifting lies. Democrats as responsible as republicans as responsible as the banks that really control our monetary policy. We bail out the banks in order to keep our monetary system going, which adds trillions of dollars to our debt. We have to raise the debt ceiling to pay for the bail out. S&P downgrades credit because we never missed a payment or were late. The Markets go volatile, which causes more transactions. The more transactions made, the more fees that are
@lobestarter1 S&P downgraded you because you took the nation to the edge of default, and you forced Obama to pass a ridiculous deal that had no tax increases. Any accountant knows you don't balance the books without bringing in more revenue.
@ed2kou1 After Americans have to put up with a double-dip recession thanks to your antics, there's going to be a lot fewer of you. See if you can sell your bullshit to the American people in 2012.
@Shanbo26 You're boy BHO has caused the double dip recession! So we won't have any problem making BHO a one term president. BHO inherrited a AAA credit rating. NOW for the First time ever, Since 1917, we now Have A, AA credit rating. Nice change BHO!
This is the poster boy about what's wrong with America. He's just one of many senator's that have been running this country into the ground for years and years and years. He could care less about, "We, the people..." He is a moron. Shoot the messenger, he says.
The GOP supports giving Government HANDOUTS(WELFARE) to corporate jet owners, BIG OIL SUBSIDES for OPEC, you know, the people that hate us, Billionaires, Millionaires, and a host of other Wall Street give aways with our money!
The GOP must be voted out and will be! Look at the Wisconsin recall votes, tomorrow, and see your GOP FATE! Your gonna see Democracy in action!!
Read the results, tomorrow and WEEP as this is what 2012, will look like!
I find it thought provoking that MediaMatters and MoveOn.Org and other Democratic party 'news sources' are magically in lock step with their talking points.
All fail to point out the it's obvious that the Democratic Party knew the budget crises was on the horizon by simply failing to even propose a budget under Speaker Pelosi.
It doesn't get pointed out the the FAILURE TO ACT when the Democratic Party had control of all three branches of Government speaks loudly of what they knew.
John Kerry is the biggest F'ing LIAR in modern politics. The man has NO facts to back up anything he says. His words are, at best, 'wishful thinking' in his demented tiny mind. Only blooming idiots, like these talking-heads at NBC, give him any credibility.
Sure, Senator, the people urging borrowing and spending constraint caused the problem. Are you serious? By the way, the next time you run for president, please pick a running mate with some integrity, not an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer who helped cause the sky-high health care premiums. You don't need some pretty boy so that you can cup his face lovingly in your hands while staring deep into his eyes while running your other hand up and down his waist.
@Shanbo26 Does it make it right for the current crop to spend my grandchildrens' money irresponsibly now just because it was also done in the past? You see, Shanbo, you libs live by the motto "ME TOO". The whiny "He did it too" logic is just crybaby stuff. Fingerpoint and blame without addressing any issues. By the way, as a Canadian, your comments here are largely irrelevant anyway (although welcome). Please proceed with your next personal attack.
@Shanbo26 Try to look at the situation objectively, Shanbo. It's clear from your writing (quick to use personal insults, limited vocabulary) and speaking styles (stuttering and stammering even when giving prepared comments, forgetting to remove leather bondage mask from previous evening's bath-house activities) that this will be difficult for you. But it IS just about little crybabies with their hands out whining, "ME TOO!". If we don't stop you libs now, we will have a London-like situation.
@Shanbo26 This media is called "youtube", my friend. The idea is that people can watch the videos of yourself that you post. This is why you created your channel, and I created mine. Every time you post a comment, your channel name appears, in a tacit invitation to be watched. Hence, I saw you in your leather mask and heard your stammering. Go back to school. You've been owned so many times here that I'm beginning to confuse you with your leader's ancestors.
@teledan105 Yeah, when was the last time you heard of white leather, moron? It's a luchadore mask, made of fairly cheap material. Nice try at lying, stalking shitbag.
This fucking guy is an asshole! The ONLY GROUP who should not be blamed is the Tea Party. They are the only group who wants to seriously cut spending. Why don't you go hide another yacht so you don't have to pay taxes on it you piece of shit hypocrite!
@Shanbo26 Blaming the Tea Party for the downgrading of our credit rating when they were the ones advocating no debt limit increase & government existing within a budget is truly assenine. I'm sorry you fell for it.
@joe035 First off moron, they ended up increasing the debt limit anyway, so there goes your first argument. Second off, they took tax increases off the table which is in your words "truly assinine" and is the reason that S&P gave for downgrading your country. Try to keep up, idiot.
@Shanbo26LMAO The Tea Party didn't vote for the raising of the debt limit, they only influenced those represenatives that DIDN'T vote for it not to. If they didn't raise the debt we wouldnt have been downgraded just forced to live within our means.
The S&P lowered the credit limit because the Republicans that caved to Obama & his drones couldn't come up with 4 Trillion in reductions over the next decade. Which S&P stated previously would be the ONLY way NOT to be downgraded.
@joe035 Our credit limit was lowered, cause they saw we were raising the debt ceiling, but we weren't really cutting spending. More spending and more printing money. Devalues the dollar, welcome to double dip recession. Thanks BHO
I don't know how many ways I can explain it to this other guy the Tea Party had NOTHING to do with the loss of our credit rating. They in fact were the only advocates for reducing the debt, talk about shooting the messenger.
@joe035 No problem keep fighting the good fight! BHO is at 40%, more and more people are seeing this sin't the America we want. In 2012, we'll tell BHO thanks but no thanks. YOU KEEP THE CHANGE
@leftgibson People might have been more convinced if you weren't willing to wreck your economy so that millionaires wouldn't have to pay more taxes, idiot. This mess is all yours.
@Shanbo26 This is your brilliant political analysis?? Did Ralph Maddow tell you to say that?? I'm sorry but the millionaires pay 80% of the taxes and people like you pay none. You are an economic leach who sucks hard earned capital out of the system because you are both too stupid and too lazy to bring a product or service to the free market for profit. You would rather leach off the successful people in life. You are the problem. You are the weak link. You disgust me.
@leftgibson 80% of the flies? Really? I don't suppose you have a site for that, or is this just another statistic you pulled out of your butt?
Probably the same place you got the info that I'm a "leach". Sorry pal, I work harder than you ever did and I'm smarter than you will ever be. I guess you pulled that fact out of your ass too. Like all other rightards, your whole platform is based on lies. You disgust me. The difference is, if it came down to you vs. me, you'd last about ten secs.
@Shanbo26 Poor Baby, You are too stupid to make money so it's those evil rich peoples fault. You and Obama feel that success and prosperity are evil. You cant even take a shit without the govt. wiping your ass. You are shitstain on the American Flag!
@Shanbo26 Listen you little bitch. Your comments prove that you are a fat slob loser who hates success because you you are an economic moron. You are even too fucking lazy to look up what % of taxes each tax bracket pays. It's a govt. stat you cuntstick. You are a waste of space and useless to this country. Now pull your AIDS infested cum stained finger out of your balloon knot and go fuck your boyfriend with it loser.
@Shanbo26 Ha Ha Ha why don't you go fuck Barney Frank in the balloon knot. He was using his mating call the other day on the Ralph Maddow show. I bet you got hard when you heard it!
@Shanbo26 It's so sad to be a liberal chode like you these days. Your president is a disaster. All liberal policies have failed. States like Wisconsin are turning to the republican party after liberals and unions have destroyed their state budgets. Global Warming is a fraud. Everything you assholes believe in is shit. My advice to you...Buy a Chevy Volt, shove a windmill up your ass, and drive off a cliff!
Yeah! If not for the TeaParty we could have been 19 Trillion dollars in debt instead of only 16.7! Shame on them! Shame on them! How dare they hold us accountable! I am a United States Senator, and no one tells me I can't spend this nation into oblivion! No one! By the way, anyone have any new suggestions on where I can park my yacht so I can quite paying these high state taxes? It's killing me! I tried New Jersey, and you see what happened there. Help me if you can. Your overseer, J Kerry
I guess when you have as much money selling ketchup as Kerry, there's plenty of time left over to cook up satan burgers, and fries for the American people to swallow. Get a grip John, the tea party didn't create the problem; big government, and reckless spending by cum-dumpsters like you have put us in the economical debacle we're in. We pay your wages; therefore, we're your boss... So get your head out of your 'ass,' and do your fucking job flip-flopper.
Kerry is a south end of a north-facing mule. He, along with Axelrod and others blame the Tea Party for this, yet it was the Tea Party who wanted Washington to make the cuts that were necessary to avoid the freaking downgrade! But do the Senate Dems pass the House Republican and Tea Party backed bill? NO! Reid doesn't allow it! And Obama would not have signed it anyway. In fact, the Dems probably would not have cut anything if it were not for the Tea Party.
Thank God for the Tea Party. If not for them these cocksuckers would have spent even more, raised the debt ceiling even higher & would have cut NOTHING!
Whats wrong John? You look a little looooong in the face. Fuck John Kerry. He's a scumbag (as his bride would say).
this man is an example of an elitist in DC. he is scared to death of losing his power. his comments about not giving but one point of view in the media is borderline communism. he needs to go.
Interesting to see the "mainstream" politicians and "mainstream" media attempt to demonize the Tea Party. An old adage, "the truth hurts" comes to mind. Our country needs fresh inspiration, not pointless vagary.
TEA Party downgrade, lol. Wasn't it Harry Ried who refused to let ANY budget bill from the House even be voted on the Senate floor? Ried tabled every piece of legislation the House sent over. Kerry is a lying little bitch. Obama NEVER put anything on the table. To do that, you have to put it in writing, and the Dems refused to do that. For over 800 days we've had no federal Budget.
It's scary to think that this idiot, Kerry could have been Pres. Yea, blame the TEA party for the down grade. It's totally the TEA party and not our over spending and completly foolish fiscal policy. Grow up Kerry, Dems. Lib Repubs, and start using common cense instead of playing the blame game.
@mightyhalos After you gave Bush a second term, and handed Congress over to the same bunch of whackjobs who got you into the mess in the first place, the answer is yes.
Oh, I have no doubt that they will succeed in hanging this on Obama. The Republicans own the media, after all.
I'm just excited that the Democrats came up with the "Tea Party Downgrade". It won't stick... the Hate Radio/FOX liars will kill it... but at least the Democrats are beginning to fight back.
Uuuuuh, Johnny...... where's your plan to reduce the deficit? Oh, on your new yacht? the one you berth in, where is it, Connecticut, or Rhoad Island, or where ever, so you don't have to pay taxes on it?
What an absolute idiot! What a perfect example of an out of touch moron that has been in Washington way too long. Why people continue to vote for him is mind boggling. We need to clean all of these establishment elitist idiots out. They continue to destroy America for their own selfish motives. The blatent disregard for the truth and no sense of responsibility for the mess they have created. TERM LIMITS NOW!!!!!
This is the "Democrats who couldn't write a budget for this year with control of both houses" - downgrade you piece of shit. S&P were clear. They wanted to see action towards CUTTING SPENDING, not increasing the government's already obscene revenues.
Just think, if these clown's had their way this would be John Kerry's SECOND term right not, with John Edwards as VP!!!!
we're three years into this administration which has doubled deficit. Just what BRINK could anybody but this administration brought us to, in terms of deficit. Lets not forget how clearly not fulfilling the constitutional obligation to write budgets since Obama and the democrats took power played a part.
You can't possibly tax enough to meet this administration's spending plans and still function. Cuts in SPENDING need to made.
John Kerry is mentally unstable....he faked documents and put himself in for awards while in the Navy....met with our enemies while an "officer" in the Navy...lied under oath about "war crimes" committed in Viet Nam....he's a narcissitic dud...and the people of Machusetts should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to vote this un-American into office...he's a weasel of the lowest kind!

We have the Tea Party to thank for this downgrade by bullying the GOP into that very childish display of absolute resistance to raising the debt ceiling without asking the VERY rich to forgo their unnecessary tax breaks, and DEMANDING cuts ONLY from middle class and poor Americans. Michelle Bachmann, in her non stop mantra to make The President a one termer, seemed to be praying for a default. Im sure shes THRILLED to see this downgrade on Obamas watch, that SHE & the TP helped create. Shameful!
thenewmike2012 6 months ago
The reasons for the downgrade.
1.They couldn’t agree on how to spend less on “entitlements.”
2.They couldn’t agree on whether or how to raise revenue. (On that subject: raising income taxes is no good when so many people don’t even have an income to tax!)
3.They wouldn’t agree to cut the deficit by the $4 trillion that Standard and Poor warned Congress that they must agree to.
Tea Party ONLY advocated for a balanced budget amendment & paying down debt. It was gov that caused downgrade!!!

@joe035 Your comment doesnt comport with the S&P report. The President put EVERY Democratic "sacred cow" on the table for compromise. The Tea Party bullied Speaker Boehner & the GOP into putting NOTHING on the table for compromise. Thats why we only came up with $2T instead of the required $4T. The TP/GOP made sure their super wealthy friends were not asked to give 1 DIME more in revenue reform. To this day, they are against the raising of the debt ceiling.
thenewmike2012 6 months ago
@thenewmike2012 The 3 reasons I specified came DIRECTLY from the S&P's response to their decision of why they downgraded us.
Theres no difference between establishment Republicans & Progressives! This whole debt deal was nothing but a show to make us believe we have a choice in parties when both are one & the same establishment assholes. Obama has continued Iraq/Afghanistan, attacked libya without provocation or Congress approval, bailed out bankers, & spent billions helping Soros!

We do need to put the country ahead of ourselves as demonstrated in this last election all incumbants out.

As I mentioned earlier, the TP lead GOP put NOTHING on the table for compromise in the debt ceiling discussions.NOTHING that would help the country reach the $4T mark we needed to hit.

@thenewmike2012 Like I said before American families are hurting, barely surviving with the high inflation due to all the spending from bailouts, failed stimulus & BS wars! The SPENDING is what got us here & now you think taking more money out of the hands that earn it is the solution.
Blaming the TeaParty is absurd the S&P clearly stated the GOV didn't respond to any of their demands, & NONE of the goals of TeaParty were met. Gov is a bloated monster, I took a pay cut they can too!!
joe035 6 months ago
@joe035 Youre making my point for me. American families ARE hurting. So WHY keep on giving tax breaks to the SUPER rich that dont need them? They are NOT reinvesting that money in our economy, they are putting it in off shore accts and opening businesses overseas for the cheap labor. When was the last time you heard of a NEW, AMERICAN business opened?

Wouldnt it make more sense for you to support extending the Presidents' Middle Class Tax Cut plan? That means another $1,000.00 in your pocket. How is giving tax breaks to the SUPER rich helping YOU?

@thenewmike2012 Tax cuts for hiring people wont work Mike! There has to be a DEMAND for their labors & at this point consumer confidence is so low there is NO DEMAND! Farmers are paid to grow crops they would grow anyway at expense to taxpayers. Does that make sense to you? If it doesn't neither should bribing corps to do something if there is NO DEMAND for as if they could sustain the new hires!.
They won't hire because Obama has MANY agendas that conflict with profit generation anyway!

I find it thought provoking that MediaMatters and MoveOn.Org and other Democratic party 'news sources' are magically in lock step with their talking points.
All fail to point out the it's obvious that the Democratic Party knew the budget crises was on the horizon by simply failing to even propose a budget under Speaker Pelosi.
It doesn't get pointed out the the FAILURE TO ACT when the Democratic Party had control of all three branches of Government speaks loudly of what they knew.

John Kerry is the biggest F'ing LIAR in modern politics. The man has NO facts to back up anything he says. His words are, at best, 'wishful thinking' in his demented tiny mind. Only blooming idiots, like these talking-heads at NBC, give him any credibility.

Sure, Senator, the people urging borrowing and spending constraint caused the problem. Are you serious? By the way, the next time you run for president, please pick a running mate with some integrity, not an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer who helped cause the sky-high health care premiums. You don't need some pretty boy so that you can cup his face lovingly in your hands while staring deep into his eyes while running your other hand up and down his waist.

@Shanbo26 Does it make it right for the current crop to spend my grandchildrens' money irresponsibly now just because it was also done in the past? You see, Shanbo, you libs live by the motto "ME TOO". The whiny "He did it too" logic is just crybaby stuff. Fingerpoint and blame without addressing any issues. By the way, as a Canadian, your comments here are largely irrelevant anyway (although welcome). Please proceed with your next personal attack.

@Shanbo26 Try to look at the situation objectively, Shanbo.

But it IS just about little crybabies with their hands out whining, "ME TOO!". If we don't stop you libs now, we will have a London-like situation.

joe035 7 months ago
@joe035 First off moron, they ended up increasing the debt limit anyway, so there goes your first argument. Second off, they took tax increases off the table which is in your words "truly assinine" and is the reason that S&P gave for downgrading your country. Try to keep up, idiot.
Shanbo26 7 months ago
@Shanbo26LMAO The Tea Party didn't vote for the raising of the debt limit, they only influenced those represenatives that DIDN'T vote for it not to. If they didn't raise the debt we wouldnt have been downgraded just forced to live within our means.
The S&P lowered the credit limit because the Republicans that caved to Obama & his drones couldn't come up with 4 Trillion in reductions over the next decade. Which S&P stated previously would be the ONLY way NOT to be downgraded.
joe035 7 months ago
@joe035 Our credit limit was lowered, cause they saw we were raising the debt ceiling, but we weren't really cutting spending. More spending and more printing money. Devalues the dollar, welcome to double dip recession. Thanks BHO

Kerry is a south end of a north-facing mule. He, along with Axelrod and others blame the Tea Party for this, yet it was the Tea Party who wanted Washington to make the cuts that were necessary to avoid the freaking downgrade! But do the Senate Dems pass the House Republican and Tea Party backed bill? NO! Reid doesn't allow it! And Obama would not have signed it anyway. In fact, the Dems probably would not have cut anything if it were not for the Tea Party.

You can't possibly tax enough to meet this administration's spending plans and still function. Cuts in SPENDING need to made.
